I spent my 20's building a multi-million dollar online company while training intensively in meditation, qigong, plant medicine, and the internal arts. I’ve spent my 30's running retreats all over the world, coaching high-performing entrepreneurs, athletes, creatives, and leaders. Today, I write and speak about human potential, life strategy, modern spirituality, and the path to self-mastery. It’s a pleasure to share that path with you.
