#11 Called Out: Fear, Faith, and Finding Your Calling | Paula Faris, Author & Emmy-Nominated Journalist
In Episode #11, we explore fear, faith, and finding your calling. We’re joined by Paula Faris, Emmy-nominated journalist and author of Called Out: Why I Traded Two Dream Jobs For a Life of True Calling. We cover cancel culture, launching a faith-focused podcast, and key habits for great interviews.
“I believe everything happens for a reason. I don't have any regrets, even though I've done some stupid stuff in my life—like, really dumb things. I wouldn't take it back, because I learned more from my flaws and failures than I have from the 'successes' of life. Those have been the character builders.” – Paula Faris

This episode is our definitive guide to fear, faith, and finding your calling. In it we cover:
ABOUT CALLED OUT
Paula Faris has been an anchor on Good Morning America and The View. She's also an Emmy award-winning journalist who's worked as Senior National Correspondent for ABC News, where she's interviewed people like Hillary Clinton, Tiger Woods and Reese Witherspoon. In 2018, she launched her own faith-focused podcast with ABC called Journeys of Faith with Paula Faris. From Journeys of Faith, she's interviewed high profile political leaders like Nikki Haley and Cory Booker, athletes like Tim Tebow, and she's explored the topic of faith with pronounced atheists like Sam Harris. It's because of this incredibly open dialogue, which I think is missing today, that I wanted to have her on Outliers for a conversation about faith. In this episode, we cover Paula's career as a journalist, her journeys with her own faith, and what she's learned discussing faith with high profile figures from around the world. Paula's new book, Called Out: Why I Traded Two Dream Jobs For a Life of True Calling, is out now. And in it, she shares what she's learned grappling with the difference between her career and her calling.
