Nov 2025 | Overruled with Scott VicknairPaul Faust doesn’t do “ordinary.” He’s not here to fit into your neat little boxes, follow a straight-line career path, or play it safe—and that’s exactly why you need to hear from him. In this episode, David sits down with his long-time friend to talk about how you don’t have to fit into a single box to live fully. He shares how embracing the unexpected has led to some incredible experiences, like landing a role on The Office and serving as a volunteer firefighter. He’s proof that when you stay open, stay curious, and stay bold, possibilities aren’t just out there, they’re everywhere.
Paul also gets real about the mindset shifts that changed his game—flipping anxiety into action, ditching labels that hold you back, and putting gratitude and intention at the center of everything. His tools? Simple, free, and powerful. Think ending your day by naming three things you’re grateful for. Leaving every conversation on a high note. Choosing your words like they matter, because they do. If you’ve ever felt boxed in by your job, your habits, or your own head, Paul’s raw, no-BS perspective might be the spark you’ve been missing.
