A lot of people believe if they are on a path that that path is following that path is a respect thing. But when it's not disrespecting your mom, mom I'm not disrespecting you. And so I really struggled early on with this because I was attacking the default path. You can't rewrite other people's scripts they need to rewrite them on their own time. There's a deep script in our world that men should suffer at an office for a family and that is what you do. Just reality of the world.

In this conversation, we spoke about how his book has sold 12,000 copies in a year without him trying, why sabbaticals are the key, the problem with our wage-based society, and why Paul took the long, slow, stupid way but why it's paid off for him.
