One planet, one people.

A true visionary, powered by fun. I've circled the globe more times than I can count — over 500 flights, more than 16 countries lived in, and countless businesses started, sold, and learned from along the way. Holistic centers became my misfit home: I'm the most traveled retreat-center connoisseur I know, having visited a staggering 550 centers across the planet.

I've lived life in every possible way. I've picked up languages whose words quietly fused into a private new tongue. I've been tattooed by artists on five continents. Everything I've done has been a long, winding journey toward love and — more importantly — fun. Everything together is my motto.

I love all the parts of the world. I try to find balance between them. And one day it occurred to me that all my hundreds of thousands of small failures, and the nine times I've physically died in ambulances and distant emergency rooms — screaming my favorite songs on the way out — were always pointing here. To this work. To other humans. To this continent we're building.

I'm of the world, and yet pleasantly disconnected from it. Some call me Mr. Chance — my middle name. The rest is, mostly, yet to be discovered.
