Why the Safe Path in Life Isn't Always the Right One | Paul Millerd

The conversation covers the tension between security and freedom, the weight of societal expectations, and how fear keeps people stuck in unfulfilling roles. Millerd also discusses self-awareness, redefining success, and the parable of the two wolves.
