You have the GPA. You have the internship. You have a calendar so packed it’s hard to breathe. But when you look in the mirror at the end of the day, you don't see a high performer—you see someone who is incredibly busy doing absolutely nothing that matters. The Paper Tiger is the podcast for the high-functioning achiever who feels like a fraud. We deconstruct the difference between "motion" (planning, stressing, being busy) and "action" (doing the thing that yields a result). By exploring the lessons of the world’s greatest self-improvement literature, we bridge the gap between your external success and your internal fulfillment. It’s time to stop running in place and start liking the person in the reflection.
