Imagine this: The Golden Gate Bridge is a marvel. It spans miles of open water, iconic and unyielding against time. But it doesn’t stay that way on its own. The bridge is constantly being painted. By the time the workers finish one end, it’s time to start all over again—not because it’s broken, but because maintaining greatness requires consistent effort.
That’s what this course is about. Maintenance. Growth. Longevity.
It’s designed for those who know that success isn’t the finish line—it’s a starting point. Whether you’ve already built generational wealth or are cultivating the discipline to create it, this is for you.
You understand that building something meaningful is only the first step. Keeping it alive—keeping you alive in every sense of the word—requires deliberate, intentional work.
Why I Created This Course
Let me be real with you. Six years ago, I hit a wall. I had all the markers of success: a strong resume, accomplishments that looked great on paper, and a disciplined work ethic.
But my life wasn’t working.
Every day felt like the same dark loop—Groundhog Day without the laughs. And while I was checking all the “right” boxes, I was disconnected from the things that made me feel alive.
But there were glimpses—moments of freedom and joy that didn’t come from solitary pursuits like grinding out miles on a bike. They came when I connected with others, leaned into shared experiences, and allowed myself to loosen my grip on control.
That’s when I realized: those moments of light weren’t random. They were built on habits, discipline, and deliberate practice. And when I gently leaned into them, everything started to shift.
Who This Is For
This course isn’t for everyone. It’s for the doers. The builders. The ones who’ve worked hard to create something meaningful but know there’s more to life than the grind.
Maybe, you might already have generational wealth. Or maybe you’re cultivating the discipline to create it. Either way, you’ve realized that wealth—whether financial, emotional, or spiritual—isn’t enough on its own. It needs maintenance. It needs meaning.
And that’s what we’ll uncover together.
What to Expect
Over the next 48 weeks, I’m going to slow-drip the tools and concepts that transformed my life. Each week will build on the last, blending timeless wisdom from The Four Agreements, You Can Heal Your Life, Meditations, and many many more.
This isn’t just about learning. It’s about doing:
Building habits that stick.
Rewriting stories that hold you back.
Creating a life that feels joyful, not just productive.
Think of it as painting your bridge—one deliberate stroke at a time.
Fellowship Over Perfection
Here’s the truth: I’m not perfect, and I’m not claiming to be your guru. I’ve made more mistakes than I can count in my 30+ years in the military, corporate world, and startups.
But I’ve also learned that progress isn’t about being perfect—it’s about showing up, doing the work, and sharing the journey.
This is a fellowship. A space where we’ll learn, grow, and challenge each other. And if you take what I share and leapfrog right over me? Nothing would make me happier.
Your First Step
Take a moment this week. Reflect on why you’re here. What brought you to this point? What signals has life been sending you?
Write it down. No judgment, no filters—just honesty.
This is your first brushstroke. The beginning of painting your bridge.
Let’s get started.
“Love After Love” by Derek Walcott
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was yourself.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
This poem reminds us of the profound interconnectedness of self-awareness and how it ripples outward into the world. It’s an invitation to show up authentically, to connect with ourselves as we connect with others. By choosing to “feast on your life,” you align with the world’s flow, making deliberate choices about how you engage.
Philosophical Reflection
Walcott’s lines echo the philosophy of Marcus Aurelius, who wrote:
“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.”
Both call us to show up intentionally, to see life as a network of moments, choices, and connections that shape not just who we are, but the impact we have on the world.
Let this set the tone for our journey together. How you show up matters, and the world reflects it back.
