What’s “The Next 30 Trips” All About?

It’s about navigating the next 30 years of life, whether you’re 20, already 30, or somewhere beyond. More, it’s an evolving exploration of purpose and career outside of the typical path, and the typical norms.

By the time I was thirty, I’d lived a lot of the early dreams I thought I had: I’d launched rockets, worked on landing them at sea, and found myself totally burnt out with no joy. That’s how I started my next 30 trips around the sun, with the intention to live a more present and authentic life. From learning to slow down, to finding the real motivations behind what drives us, to learning to do really hard things the best we can, this newsletter seeks to explore the interfaces and edges of what makes up our lives so we might best pursue our authentic paths.

A continuous exploration of "how to do hard things well" in all stages of life, business, and cycles of creation. I tried the mind-controlled linear life and it failed. Now I explore building in calm ways, while firmly rejecting hustle culture.
