Bringing the wild intelligence of Alaska to how you lead, live, and work

the clarity you didn't know you were craving.
summer solstice. one week. small group. big wilderness
Join us for an unforgettable week flying around the Brooks Range in Supercubs for true exploration and immersion in an undisturbed wilderness the size of South Carolina!
We will explore together in a small group of people who think it's a good idea to go to the wildest of all wild places. People who think it’s a good idea to ask Alaska what Alaska has to say about all of it. Because if there's one thing Alaska does well, it's tell the truth.

discover your passions and purpose
living a created life
Connect to your curiosities, identify your passions, and discover your Massively Transformative Purpose (MTP),
If you're trying to do meaningful work in the world, motivation alone won't carry you very far. What actually sustains people over the long run is something called a Massively Transformative Purpose (MTP).
An MTP is the big thing you care about that improves the world in some way. It reaches beyond you and connects your work to something larger. Neurobiologically, we’re wired to stay engaged much longer when the purpose of our effort feels bigger than ourselves.
An MTP leverages 3 of the most powerful intrinsic motivators: curiosity, passion, and purpose. Intrinsic motivation is the internal drive toward activities because they fascinate, energize, or feel meaningful. Aligned with them, motivation & drive become nearly endless, and deeply fulfilling. And because they arise from what uniquely interests each of us, they point toward the activities we are naturally wired to pursue.
So, how are we sure the intrinsic motivators are expressed in our MTP? We literally use them to discover it. They’re baked in. Curiosity triggers dopamine. Intersecting curiosities amplify it, creating passions. Connect those intersections to something bigger than yourself, and you get purpose.
Most people end up living a default life—a life shaped by expectations, circumstances, and momentum rather than conscious design. A created life emerges when you become clear about what truly matters to you and begin organizing your choices, energy, and environment around that truth. This exercise helps you step back from the noise of everyday life and look more clearly at the deeper forces shaping your path—your values, your motivations, and your most authentic ways of being.
Through a series of reflective questions and a values alignment assessment, the tool analyzes the patterns running through your life and generates a powerful personalized report. You’ll see the deeper architecture of how you live today, the tensions and strengths shaping your direction, and where your values are already alive in your choices. The report also highlights where friction may be pointing toward growth and offers ideas for inspired interventions—small shifts that can unlock greater vitality, clarity, and impact as you continue building a truly created life.
Reveal the architecture of the life you’re creating and how it aligns with your values, dreams, and most authentic ways of being.

The Alaska immersion
take me to Alaska!
Over the course of this deeply guided experience, we use big landscapes to fuel big ideas. Your team will learn, through the principles of adventure, how to move together: adaptively, powerfully, and with shared purpose. You’ll spend time outside, yes, but more importantly, you’ll come alive individually and as a team.
We begin before you arrive. I meet 1:1 with each member of your team to understand where they’re at and what’s ready to shift. We also identify where the system needs alignment and where hidden capacity is waiting to be unlocked.
During the immersion itself, we blend structured strategic work with dynamic outdoor experiences. You’ll spend a full day crafting a strategic vision that is deeply aligned with your team’s intrinsic motivators and anchored in a shared sense of direction. You’ll reconnect to the why behind your work and design a future that delivers REAL results.
And it doesn’t end when you leave. I coach the team leader or manager for six months after the immersion, including two site visits to work with the whole team for continued support. Learning to operate in alignment with your strategic vision and embed it in the way you work takes practice!
This isn’t a vacation or just a teambuilding event. We use the time to drive real change, and ensure the transformation carries forward to realize the inspiratoinal future we create together.
By the end, every individual is contributing more fully. The team is in coordinated and effective action, operating with clarity, trust, and renewed momentum. The work becomes alive, energizing, and aligned.

what are principles of adventure?
The Principles of Adventure are my code of translation. A framework for bringing the best of our design into the places it's needed most. Each one is the product of hard-won lessons—shaped by experience, refined in the field, and brought to life through the stories that made it unforgettable for me and alive for others. And when you join me for an Alaska Immersion, you’ll learn them in your bones as lived wisdom. Alaska becomes the facilitator, not just the backdrop. What you take home is yours forever.
This isn’t a complete list - it couldn’t be. These are just a few principles I return to often, each one forged in lived experience and useful far beyond the backcountry. Whether I’m building teams, skiing volcanoes, or chasing a dream that feels slightly insane, these are the tools that ground me, orient me, and keep me moving toward what matters most.
From the summit of Denali to remote landing strips across Alaska, from mountain bike ventures to ski descents pursued with the earnestness of a holy grail, these principles were forged through exploration, devotion, and chasing dreams.
They’ve carried me through triumph, despair, and everything in between. The wilderness has always been my teacher. Over time, I realized what I was learning out there was shaping who I was becoming everywhere else—in business, in leadership, and in life.
