Hey, my name is Paul Jun. I’m a writer, author of Connect the Dots, and on the Marketing team at Help Scout. I am also a coach for Seth Godin’s online program the altMBA.

Motivated Mastery is a manifestation of my self-education — a curation of knowledge that directs the compass in our journey and helps us discover what’s inside of us. As a voracious reader with an unquenchable curiosity, I write to understand.
The Roman philosopher Seneca once said,
The most important knowledge is that which guides the way you lead your life.
My essays are like a subway map of how I’m connecting all the dots — insight, inspiration, information, knowledge, wisdom — that I unearth in my studies. Playing with ideas and connecting seemingly unrelated dots forces us to expand our mind, to be challenged to think beyond our confinements, so that living well becomes a daily art and not an annual aspiration. Dipping into the pool of science, psychology, philosophy, anthropology, art, history, and more, there is always something we can learn that will usher us into living well and actualizing our potential.
