#153 Beyond Mimetic Desires - Luke Burgis on the temptations of conformity, contemplating life in Starbucks, thick desires and thin desires, letting go of control, the importance of play, learning from different work cultures, his stay in Rome and becoming a father

Luke has a background on Wall Street and has founded 3 companies in Silicon Valley. He describes his adult life as a constant state of uncertainty. At some point, he took a classics course, which he completed in a 24-hour Starbucks in a couple of months while living in Las Vegas. This led to him to contemplate deeper questions, leaving "entrepreneur Luke" behind and spending 3 years in Rome. Luke is now a Professor at the Ciocca Center for Principled Entrepreneurship and has written a book — "WANTING: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life." The book is one of the best ones I've read in the past couple of years and we talk about some of the ideas in the book and how they intersect with Luke and my life.🎥🍿 YOUTUBE: WATCH HERELinks:Personal websiteTwitter: @lukeburgisLuke's book: Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday LifeLuke's Newsletter⌛TIMESTAMPS(00:00) - Intro (01:56) - The scripts that Luke grew up with (15:37) - Book publishing the temptations of conformity (23:02) - The memetic desires & The romantic lie of our own desires (28:32) - Doing the classics course after hours (33:20) - The importance of play & Feeding the spirit (36:07) - Thick Desires & Thin Desires (45:50) - Creativity, Being open & Letting go of control (50:16) - Learning from different work cultures & transcending the system (57:26) - "The Three Cities Problem" — Reason, Faith & Technology (01:05:47) - What’s next, preparing to be a father (01:14:15) - Luke's path role models (01:17:13) - Closing remarks 📘 GOOD WORK: LIVE! => Learn More📕 Buy Paul’s Book (50k+ Sold): The Pathless Path😁 Join Hundreds On Unconventional Paths: Pathless Path Community📲Connect + Follow PaulTwitter: @p_millerdInstagram: @pathlesspaulPaul’s Newsletter: Subscribe to Pathless (23k+ People)Paul’s YouTube: Subscribe🙏Further Ways To Support The Podcast:Accounting, Taxes, And Payroll For Your S-Corp (Ideal for $60k+ income): CollectiveLooking for alternatives to traditional health insurance in the US?

#152 The Creator Therapist - Melvin Varghese on Emigrating to Texas, his work as a clinical psychologist, starting a podcast, the birth of his daughter, re-evaluating life and money and detaching identity from work

Melvin has a PhD in psychology but to call him just "a psychologist" would be trying to fit him in too small of a box. He has left a successful clinical career to build his online "healthy business"  – he is the person behind "Selling the Couch" podcast, he does sessions with entrepreneurs and he runs an online course where he helps therapists to move their business online. Everything he does is designed to allow him to be fully present as a father and a husband because, "What's the point of accomplishing all of this if we can't be fully present with the people that we love the most?"🎥🍿 YOUTUBE: WATCH HERELinks:Melvin's Podcast: Selling The CouchTwitter: @mvarghese5Personal websiteLinkedin⌛TIMESTAMPS(00:00) - Intro (02:03) - The scripts that Melvin grew up with (12:20) - From Psychology PhD to Content Creator (21:31) - The beginnings of "Selling The Couch" (29:07) - Finding long-term sustainability in podcasting (40:28) - Slowly going all in (42:57) - Re-evaluating money and life - The birth of Melvin's daughter (57:11) - Detaching identity from work (58:41) - Lessons from therapy sessions (01:01:04) - Melvin's path role models & routine (01:07:11) - Closing remarks 📘 GOOD WORK: LIVE! => Learn More📕 Buy Paul’s Book (50k+ Sold): The Pathless Path😁 Join Hundreds On Unconventional Paths: Pathless Path Community📲Connect + Follow PaulTwitter: @p_millerdInstagram: @pathlesspaulPaul’s Newsletter: Subscribe to Pathless (23k+ People)Paul’s YouTube: Subscribe🙏Further Ways To Support The Podcast:Accounting, Taxes, And Payroll For Your S-Corp (Ideal for $60k+ income): CollectiveLooking for alternatives to traditional health insurance in the US?
