In this episode, Paul Graham, founder of The Investor’s Guide to Joy, shares his story as a serial entrepreneur focused on helping people increase their income while finding more joy. The conversation starts light, with Paul and Joe Dimino laughing about horror movies and how getting older makes them less appealing.
Paul talks about how the COVID-19 pandemic was a turning point in his life. It pushed him to pause and reflect, leading to a big mindset shift. Instead of getting stuck in a career that didn’t align with his values, he decided to focus on personal growth and community-building. For Paul, this was the start of more intentional living, where success meant aligning business goals with personal fulfillment.
Paul’s love for building things—whether it’s software, investments, or relationships—started young with Legos and never stopped. He believes adults should keep that same curiosity alive, not just to make money but to create something meaningful. Originally driven by a desire to make his parents proud, Paul has since learned to pursue goals that genuinely resonate with him.
He emphasizes trusting your instincts, taking calculated risks, and surrounding yourself with the right people. His brand, The Investor’s Guide to Joy, offers resources, strategies, and coaching designed to help people not only grow wealth but also find happiness along the way.
Paul wraps up by discussing legacy, saying he wants to leave the world a better place. His simple mantra—“The world was better because he dwelt upon it”—captures both his mission and his approach to life.
