Paul is the all-time scoring leader in professional lacrosse history — and has won championships & MVP awards at the college, professional & international level. Off the field, Paul is known for his work as an entrepreneur and his grassroots efforts to grow the game of lacrosse globally. In 2018 — while still an active player — Paul co-founded the Premier Lacrosse League with his brother Mike. Now entering its sixth season, the Premier Lacrosse League continues to grow rapidly, expand viewership, & attract the world’s top lacrosse talent. In this conversation, Paul shares his blueprint for building positive habits, continuous learning, communicating with your inner voice, & so much more.
