The Pathless Path with Paul Millerd

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 (02:23) - The scripts that Melvin grew up with (12:40) - From Psychology PhD to Content Creator (21:51) - The beginnings of "Selling The Couch" (29:27) - Finding long-term sustainability in podcasting (40:48) - Slowly going all in (43:17) - Re-evaluating money and life - The birth of Melvin's daughter (57:31) - Detaching identity from work (59:01) - Lessons from therapy sessions (01:01:24) - Melvin's path role models & routine (01:07:31) - Closing remarks NEW: The Pathless Path Hardcover Premium Edition📘 My 2nd Book Good Work: Learn More📕 Buy My First Book, The Pathless Path (65k+ Sold): The Pathless Path😁 Join 500+ In My Cozy Community: Pathless Path Community📲Connect + Follow PaulX: @p_millerdInstagram: @pathlesspaulPaul’s Newsletter: Subscribe to Pathless (26k+ 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?

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.
