Episode Synopsis

What happens after the race is done, the film is released, or the effort is over? In this solo reflection, Paul explores the quiet space between doing the work and discovering what it meant.
Drawing from his own experience at the Yukon Arctic Ultra — and a story from Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert — this episode is about stillness, identity, and trusting the process, even when the result isn’t clear.
In This Episode:

The silence that follows big efforts
Why we shouldn’t tie our identity to outcomes
What runners and creatives have in common
Jack Gilbert and the pursuit of meaning beyond applause
A quiet reminder for anyone still waiting for the meaning to catch up
