Your
Setup™
Perspective on-demand changes everything. Learn to use it to your advantage, anytime, anywhere.
Our stories start in the hard parts.
For professionals and leaders who'd rather use their setbacks than bury them.
Friction
Forcing your way through can feel like the right thing, but pushing harder on the wrong thing only wears you down faster. Learn to find the flow, even in life's tightest spots.
Confusion
Life takes a detour. When plans break and the unexpected happens, people freeze or hit the panic button. Learn to see the whole picture while it's still developing.
Rush
Everyone's busy and no one's making time to recover. Speed has replaced direction. The pace feels productive until it isn't. Learn to find your rhythm, not just your speed.
About Paul
I'm Paul, a speaker, storyteller, and the host of Solicited Advice. During 100 days in and out of hospitals for emergency brain surgery, kidney surgery, and a cancer diagnosis, I realized the moments that felt most devastating along the way were the ones that ended up saving my life.
I believe our setbacks are the setup, and that we find it faster together: by talking to strangers, swapping stories, and sharing advice, on stage, on the street, and in my upcoming book, The Setup.
The Setup
Every professional and every leader has a hard season. The Setup helps your people see theirs as preparation, not a dead end, and leave with the perspective to act on it.
- More flow, less friction: spot what's slowing you and your team down, and clear it.
- More clarity, less confusion: turn a setback into a clear next move, and help others do the same.
- More rhythm, less rush: build a pace that performs under pressure without burning out.
What people have said
“I wanted to thank you very much for last week. It was extremely powerful, incredibly vulnerable, and highly empowering. I truly feel this was the most impactful of all the breakout sessions.”
“You're a natural at connecting with people and getting them to feel comfortable. Love that we got to connect and that I did this. Thanks for the encouragement.”
“Hi Paul! I saw you speak at side x side. Thought you were awesome.”
Writing The Setup
After life-saving brain surgery, a rare genetic disease diagnosis, a cancer diagnosis, and kidney surgery, all within 100 days, I learned that the hardest parts of our lives are often preparing us for what comes next. The Setup is the story of that season, and a guide to finding perspective when life doesn't go to plan.
