    Self-Awareness Made Simple

    I’m here is to push the boundaries of what is “okay” to believe. We lose so much in the nuance of everyday things. Challenge your assumptions, think outside the box, and join me on this journey.

    Step #1 Subscribe So You Don’t Miss a Beat

    We’re all busy, and we don’t have time or bandwidth to visit every site we like on a regular basis. Sometimes interesting stuff falls through the cracks. I get it. So to save yourself the frustration of sporadic input, sign up below to stay in touch. You’ll only ever receive emails from me. I won’t share your information with anyone else.

    Step #2 Read the Backstory

    I have an agenda, and I’m willing to own up to it immediately. If there’s one thing that bothers me, it’s unchallenged assumption. For the first twenty years of my life, I watched almost everyone I know limit themselves based on unchallenged assumption. Every imaginable dimension of human life will be less than optimal if we believe assumptions that are false.

    I want to live the best version of my life possible. I want the same for you. For me, that looks like offering to you the little bit of me that might not be normal for you. And that’s my insistence that we challenge conventional wisdom and popular assumption to determine whether we have built our lives upon a house of cards. And if it should be discovered that we have done so, it falls upon us to choose differently, and in so doing to at least attempt a better version of the life we have yet to live.

    So that’s why I’m here. That’s what I hope you’ll get in some small measure from me. Now it’s your turn to tell me what you are looking for. Drop me a note to tell me why you are here and how I can help.
