Meditations on what it means to be a Life Athlete—exploring human flourishing & transcending the Algorithm Age.
“What are you training for?”
It’s a question I’ve been asked countless times upon sharing my workout routine. And my response is always simple.
“Life.”
My love for sport guided my trajectory.
During a 20-season career in the front office, I rose from intern to Vice President and spent much of that time leading at the forefront of new media.
Through it all, I remained committed to exercise.
Navigating my active lifestyle and its hurdles, I realized the characteristics essential to advance as an athlete—patience, resilience, and fortitude—are the same traits required to thrive in the long game of life.
It also occurred to me how frequently our world defines success purely by the outcomes someone is chasing. But as a partner, a parent of three, and an entrepreneur, I’ve found that constantly chasing wins at home, in your career, and for yourself can create immense tension—especially with the pull of smart devices a tap away.
Along the way, I’ve discovered something vital—I enjoy having goals, but truly find flow when honing my day-to-day practice.
Working through my own experiences, while hearing and witnessing the stories of family, friends, and peers, it became evident a process-centered approach is the ultimate antidote to fear, stress, and uncertainty.
Today, I apply the insights gleaned as an active parent and professional in the digital era to support and uplift people striving to respond, not react, to everything embodied in the modern quest.
A collective I call Life Athletes, who, as a byproduct of their dedication to the path, Inspire in Pursuit.
