I’m Daniel Giacopelli and this is my newsletter about the wild, winding, lesson-filled lives of fascinating people.
I’ve spent a decade interviewing some of the world’s most inspiring business founders—as editorial director of Courier, a magazine about living & working on your own terms, and at Monocle, where I built, produced and hosted one of the industry’s earliest business podcasts, The Entrepreneurs.
Desire Paths is pretty simple. It’s based on the idea that the most fascinating and fulfilled people in the world are those whose lives and careers zig, zag, bend and sometimes go wildly off-course. They don’t sleepwalk through life or go through the motions—they follow their curiosity, their passions, their gut, wherever it takes them.
So I’m going to talk with these people and share what they’ve got to say. Expect big stories, tall tales, deep conversations and nuggets of wisdom from some of the most interesting, unconventional business people, creatives and others out there.
Enjoy.
