E002 - A Radiantly Imagined Future With Paul von Zielbauer

Flex Your Freedom with Barb Allen - A podcast by Great American Syndicate / Barb Allen

He’s a Pulitzer nominee who found even greater success after he left his writing career. Paul Von Zielbauer went from writing about movers and shakers, to becoming one in a bold move. He’s found the greatest comfort far outside of his comfort zone, and now he’s helping others do the same. You’ve worked really, really hard to get where you are today. You are among the top in your field – You have been nominated for a prestigious award, you travel to locations the average person would not dream of traveling to, and you meet people in intense situations. Your work gives you a rush, and you know your life is exactly where you dreamed it would be. Ahhhh, perfection. But then you start to feel differently. You’re not sure when it happened, precisely, but you can no longer ignore the gnawing pangs of doubt biting in to your bliss. You begin to question whether this career is something you want to do forever; Is this truly how I want to spend the rest of my life? Can I really feel fulfilled following the path this career wants me to follow? Can I deny the growing belief that I am meant to do something more? On an on it goes, building in strength until the only way to make it stop is to make a decision. What would you do? Would you stay safe, in your bubble of success, following the path others set for you to stay at the top of your field? Or would you break that bubble and take a daring leap into a whole new life? If you’re like Paul von Zielbauer you don’t just pop that bubble, you shatter it into oblivion by leaping into your own “radiantly imagined” future.
