Meet
Jason

I’ve spent the last 18 years helping others follow their passions – as a teacher, wilderness guide, leadership facilitator, mentor and coach.

I’ve worked in two countries and traveled to 25 others, meeting people and hearing their stories along the way. Everyone I’ve met wants to make a positive difference in the world we all share. I’m currently traveling the world with my family — ask me where we are learning this month!

I am proud of my accomplishments, but I’m more proud of the accomplishments of others:

• the first-time 100-mile finisher I paced through the night;
• the brave manager who left the safety of their role, went for an interview at their dream job and rocked it;
• the uninspired long-time staffer who reached out and grabbed more responsibilities and job satisfaction in a new role

I wonder, I listen and I ask questions. What positive disruption are you looking for in your life? I know you can succeed wherever your path takes you. I help courageous people listen to their hearts and create adventurous lives. 

My lived experience with ADHD helps me cut through the distractions you’re facing, create a plan and follow through with it.

I moved to a tiny town to help start a new business, and twice have moved to start new jobs where I knew no one.

Big changes are sometimes fun and sometimes challenging, but always an adventure.

Let’s get your big adventure started!

The best way to discover more of the world, learn more about yourself, and uncover gems in life is to flip things on their end — to do the complete opposite, do something totally different.

It is time to shake things up, find a new path forward, and discover more in your life and career. You can live more passionately and meaningfully! Let’s explore the possibilities.
