Mastery and Meaning: Redefining Success

What does it really mean to trust yourself? Is fear just a byproduct of not knowing who you are—or who you could be?

In this mind-bending interview, Paul sits down with Lawrence Yeo—creator of the illustrated blog More To That and author of The Inner Compass—to explore the tension between certainty and curiosity, mastery and status, and how to rewrite the internal scripts running your life.

🔑 Topics we cover:

• How conditioning disguises itself as identity

• Why curiosity is gratitude for the unknown

• The true difference between confidence and self-trust

• How to stress-test your intuition and stop living on autopilot

• Why real creativity starts with agency—not art

💬 Favorite Quotes:

“Creativity is your birthright.”
“Every fear is a fear of uncertainty.”
