Soul’s Code

Soul's Code Author, Paul Kaihla

Educated in economics and history at the University of British Columbia and the University of Toronto, where he was a Faculty Scholar, Paul returned to the latter alma matter for a post-grad fellowship. Before and after those academic turns, Paul also studied filmmaking at York University, Finnish language and history at the University of Helsinki, and Russian at a New England military academy. Paul spent a decade at Maclean’s, Canada’s equivalent of Time magazine, where he emerged as the 100-year-old property’s chief investigative journalist. He then joined Media Profile, Canada’s top, independent p.r. and i.r. firm, as a director. In 2000, Paul emigrated to the United States to work as a Senior Writer, online columnist and blogger at Time Inc’s Business 2.0, a new media property based in San Francisco. Over the span of his journalistic career, he won more than a dozen national and international journalism prizes, including three National Magazine Awards in Canada, the Press Freedom Award and a Loeb Award finalist honor in the U.S. In 2008, Paul founded Soul’s Code Inc. and www.soulscode.com When Paul is not being a gym-rat — he is moved by Big Sur and other mystical places, meditative practices like watsu, and sacred spaces like the Finnish sauna. His code: “Allow everything, when you least expect it.”
