Paul Millerd: Why Writing Is The Path For Self Discovery

How I Write - A podcast by David Perell - Wednesdays

“I’m not writing for you.”  This was Paul’s response to a scathing critique that came early in his writing career. Since then, Paul’s book, The Pathless Path, has sold over 50,000 copies and has spurred thousands of writers to forge their own path forward — scathing critiques and all.  Writing isn’t about building the biggest readership possible. It’s about connecting with the readers who care. It’s about broadcasting a signal for the kinds of people you want to attract. And in this episode, you’ll learn how to find these people.  Paul shares his story from corporate cog to free-spirited wanderer, from blogger to author, from intellectual loner to leader of a thousands-strong community. Flow. Space. Surprise. The joy of finding out. These are just a few phrases Paul uses to describe how he writes.  So, what about you? Who are you writing for? If you’re ready to write with a heart on fire and find the people who care, this episode is for you.  SPEAKER LINKS: Website: https://pmillerd.com Twitter:  https://x.com/p_millerd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pathlesspaul Substack: https://substack.com/@paulmillerd Linkedin:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulmillerd/ Book: https://amzn.to/4aBxEUZ  WRITE OF PASSAGE:  Want to learn more about the next class Write of Passage? https://writeofpassage.com PODCAST LINKS:  Website: https://writeofpassage.com/how-i-write YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DavidPerellChannel/videos Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-write/id1700171470 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2DjMSboniFAeGA8v9NpoPv Learn more about your ad choices.
