Paul,
Have you dreamed about being your own boss? Are you currently self-employed but want to re-define your focus or claim back some of your time?
Join this intensive 4-week experiment of 8-10 people starting July 30th to work together with others, do hands-on projects and transform the way you think about your work and life to give you the courage to take the leap to self-employment (or even more sanity in your career).
Having worked with many people over the last year helping them make sense of carving their own paths, I've developed a number of exercises and experiments to help people gain clarity on what matters to them. The modules will focus on topics such as designing your life, future of work mindsets, creativity, taking action (vs. perfectionism), curiosity, values, identity and fears.
I am a bit nervous putting something like this out there. My inner voice is saying "you look like a jerk just trying to make money" and "who are you to teach this" - but I am trying to follow my own advice and put things out into the world and see what happens. I hope to be able to deliver on what is driving me right now - helping more people do things that matter to them.
Final Note: I'm offering this as an experiment within the confines of the gift economy where you can choose to pay-what-feels-right with a 110% money back guarantee (yes, I'll pay you if you are disappointed).

BoundlessPod - On Vacation
Podcasts are just digital bits of audio, but I believe they should be able to take a vacations as well. Right now, I've lined up a bunch of great interviews which I think you will like and am taking a few weeks to figure out what the next phase of this podcast looks like. In the meantime, some podcast recommendations: Dirty John (true crime), Making Oprah (stories), Conversations with Tyler (conversational interviews) & RFK Tapes (true crime).

Support Boundless Through Micro-Donation
Since going out on my own, I have been averse to the idea of "building a business" and "monetizing" my work. I am driven by helping others and try to devote my energy to being generous and creative - wherever that takes me. When I create tools like the Freelance Target Income Calculator, I want to get it into as many hands as possible.
I have embraced Patreon as an experiment for people to support me in continuing to do this work. Think about it as Kickstarter for creators, but focused on supporting one's life.
If you want to offer a gift of $1 a month, I will blast your name at the top of the next e-mail!
