Join The Pathless Community

You read the pathless path…now what?

Join A Community Of Curious Humans Who Want More Than Life On The Default Path

I wrote the Pathless Path after hundreds of conversations with people from around the world. What I found was that people were struggling to fit their lives into a default path that was no longer working. Many people were inventing new paths and new scripts for their lives, but struggled to feel good about what they were up to.

On my own path, I’ve found endless inspiration from other people on similar paths, and some of the early friends I made on this journey were some of the key reasons I was able to keep going. My aim in this community is to help foster similar connections and inspire people on their own paths

What Do People Say?

I recently surveyed members of the group and here is what people said:

I've met so many interesting people through this community and had some excellent 1-on-1s following group sessions. It's a fascinating group of individuals, all seeking more autonomy and a higher purpose in life. Think it's great how your message and vibe has united creators who would never have known about each other. - John Nicholas

It’s made my transition to a sabbatical much easier and opened up new opportunities for what might come next. -Aashay Mody

It's been nice to have conversations with some people who are in a similar journey. The calls, both group and 1-on-1, have are a helpful reminder that you're not in this alone. Jon Santiago

I love this community because I feel so natural and welcome in it! I've met so many friends who support me in my life and creative pursuits. Irena Spegar

By meeting with Paul and the group online for writing sessions and hangouts, I was able to get re-motivated to work on my own book and make meaningful progress after years of being stalled. -Jen Adams

I've gotten a lot of support from the group (and a lot from you) when navigating how to wind down my 9-5 and transition into sabbatical mode. I feel like it's just the beginning, -Saalik

Paul has the ability to shine a light on the gifts and talents people have before they believe in it themselves. This generous nudge is what most people need to build confidence in themselves to leave the traditional career path. Paul's community is like a floodlight—and an extension of his gift to help you find your way with the support of a diverse and international group of people. -Nate Kadlac

I just met up with a FTO member, Brandon and we have been walking around Lisbon and talking about the pathless life and how we navigate it. Then another member of the walking group said she also heard about your work from a friend in the US and we all connected and 'found the others.' :) -Kelly Davis

Being part of FTO community has been such a welcome addition to feel less alone on this path. I joined a year before I took the plunge and used the time to meet other likeminded people who have supported me when I eventually made the plunge. People are super friendly and willing to help on questions like defining rest or even giving direction on what next steps to take with my course. I highly recommend trying it out! -Vinamrata
