Description

In this episode, we break down the Paper Wall Principle so you stop treating imaginary limits like real ones. You’ll learn how most “blocked paths” are actually wide open if you just try the move no one else bothers to make. From cold-emailing a publishing founder to ignoring the rules everyone else blindly follows, this episode shows how quickly things shift when you push. The big takeaway? Most obstacles aren’t walls—they’re paper. And you can walk right through them.
