I envision living in a world world in which people have connected deeply with their singular, remarkable experience of life and themselves, and communicate with others in rich and generous ways. Everything I do - whether writing, coaching, or building companies - revolves around building that world with care, curiosity, and conviction.

PHILOSOPHY

That we author everything in our lives -- nothing is accidental, and the bit of breeze that just tickled your face? Yeah, that's a part of you.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mooch like theres no tomorrow, give as much as I borrow. Circle of Life? Yup

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met the most inspiring, open, genuine, creative, and conscious people via couchsurfing, and it has been nothing short of profound. I always recommend it to people (can a brother get a commission around here or what!?! ;)). To all the good folk - let's keep it rolling.

音乐、电影和书籍

I honestly haven't been listening to music that much these days--I've been preferring quiet. That being said, latest albums to sounds to move me: Destroyer, Frank Ocean, Kanye, Chet Faker, the National, Twin Shadow, SZA, Kelela, the War on Drugs, etc.

Movies... I just saw Biutiful, which was, well..

Books-- I was an English major, but most recently I read Tribes by Seth Godin, Shambala Way of the Sacred Warrior, the Go-Giver, and Meditations by Auerlias
