    Commit A Career Ending Move - Steven Foster on Permissionless Paychecks, Communal Living & Battling Life's Challenges While Pathless

    In this episode, I have a deep conversation with Steven Foster, who opens up about his career journey from Silicon Valley to embracing a pathless life. We dive into his essay 'Commit a Career Ending Move,' reflecting on how modernity has turned careers into a form of religion. Steven shares his personal challenges, including severe health issues and family crises, and how embracing a more communal and nature-focused lifestyle has helped him navigate these obstacles. This episode is an exploration of redefining work, faith, and finding a deeper purpose beyond traditional career paths.

    The Inner Game of Work: Pranab Sachi on Codependent Origination, Rob Burbea, Quake Books, Attentional Co-Piloting, Michael Taft, and "Non-Success"

    In this episode, I interview my friend Pranab Saachi, and we get specific about the ideas and influences that have shaped his thinking. We talk about codependent origination from Buddhist philosophy, the concept of “quake books” that have shifted his worldview, and his own approach to “attentional co-piloting” as a practical alternative to traditional coaching (which he then has me try out live on the call). Pranab references teachers like Michael Taft and Robert Burbea, and explains how Internal Family Systems and Joe Hudson’s Art of Accomplishment have factored into his work. We also discuss his abandoned “Non-Success Podcast” idea and why he’s more interested in experiments than achievements. Connect with Pranab here: https://www.pranabsachi.com/Click here to watch a video of this episode. Some topics we talked about include: Codependent Origination (Buddhist philosophy)Quake Books (life-changing reads)Attentional Co-Piloting (Pranab’s coaching approach)Michael Taft (meditation teacher)Rob Burbea (Buddhist teacher)Joe Hudson & Art of AccomplishmentInternal Family Systems (IFS)The Non-Success Podcast (Pranab’s project idea)Tim Ferriss, Wait But Why, Siddhartha, and more (00:00) - Introduction and background (10:33) - Career journey and exploration (16:43) - Building authentic connections (22:58) - Spiritual influences and meditation practice (50:23) - Attentional co-piloting coaching session (01:18:07) - Closing thoughts and contact information 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 Paul X: @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?
