#146 Separating Work & Identity - Simone Stolzoff on the myth of a "Dream Job," last-minute around the world trip, journalism, work, identity, writing his book, knowing when to quit, and the dangers of turning passion into a livelihood

Simone Stolzoff has worn many hats. He's worked as a writer, designer, and now, Author. He grew up with "four parents", each having a unique influence on him,  He grew up being told he could do whatever he wanted but realized there were assumptions behind that.

Alex was crushing it early in his career, ending up on Wall Street after getting a combined JD/MBA.  But after a few years, he went looking for his next mountain, aiming his ambition at the tech sector. He ended up co-founding LiveOak, a company he eventually sold in 2020. After that, he struggled to determine what was next and finally decided to walk away from more than a million dollars.

#144 The Creator Pivot - Khe Hy on laying people off, collapsing course demand, seasons of creativity, having zero change in net worth in eight years, competitiveness, investing, coaching, and marriage on the pathless path

In 2015 Khe left a Wall Street carrier to pursue his own path of "uncomfortable introspection", reevaluating his life. This is a constant process - Khe is always being emergent to himself. Now he finds himself at a crossroads - after a great initial success in 2020, he recently had to scale down his cohort-based course. Although laying people off was tough, Khe welcomes the change as entering a new season of creativity.🎥🍿 YOUTUBE: WATCH HERELinks:Twitter: @khemaridhradreads.coDownload Khe's Free Money Guide⌛TIMESTAMPS(01:43) - Leaving Wallstreet behind (08:16) - Money, Winning and Fears (13:04) - Sharing online, spending money and investing (18:16) - Coaching and marriage (22:27) - Leading online courses (33:14) - Organizational complexity vs $10 work (39:57) - Shutting down his course (52:39) - Cohorts vs self-based courses (54:15) - Writing and selling books (01:02:32) - Creativity vs productivity (01:07:36) - 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?
