“Colin’s mind is like ChatGPT for deep thoughts”
Dude named Josh
The Story
Hey nerds, I’m Colin. Sometimes I’m oblivious. Sometimes I’m lost. Actually… most the time I’m lost. I spent the better part of 2 decades feeling like a lost puppy.
People tell you to check the box, to do the thing. You’re supposed to follow the herd and get the job. And I did. I wasn’t really sure what choice there was.
But somewhere along the way I started to wonder if… if this was really it. There was no purpose. No meaning. You go to school, go to work, collect a paycheck and go home. What’s the point?
What do we do with our lives?
I spent the last couple years trying to figure out who the hell I was and what the hell we’re supposed to do here. Even if you retired early… then what?
I studied business, read books, studied philosophy, visited Italy, learned Spanish in Panama, biked Iowa, back-packed Europe, and worked on a farm in Estonia. Let’s just say the soul needed searching.
I’m still pretty clueless most of the time, but I figured a couple things out.
I’m a hell of a lot happier with my direction in life and I think, as a society, could do a hell of a lot better job leading happier more fulfilled lives. Humans have been thinking about this life shit for 1000s of years, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel. Our exact problems have already been solved by someone somewhere.
So I’ve designed this website to consolidate the most useful information I’ve come across over the years – Relationships, Fulfillment, Happiness, Purpose, Stress, Anxiety, Relationships with Ourselves.
I refuse to live a life of regret.
I hope some of it’s useful.
Some stuff I’ve found so far.

“Life is just a constant process of identifying and solving our most glaring problem. That’s evolution.
Problem is most of us don’t know where to start”
The Einsteins. The Mozarts. The Chouinards, Thoreaus, and Marcus Aurelius’ pushed humanity forward.
Collectively, we need to solve basic problems if we want to do the same.
- Anxiety
- Travel the World
- Financial Freedom
And maybe the most useful of all: How to find purpose in this inanity.
“If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants”
Isaac Newton, 1675
I’m here to consolidate the most useful information from the most useful, diverse, outlying sources from the corners of the internet to share them with you. Even if you’re in denial, each of us is incredibly skilled in something that this world desperately needs.
Someone else already solved every single problem we’re struggling with.

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”
Hunter S. Thompson
Far too many graveyards a filled with dreams deferred. Generations past have gifted us a Modern World that allows us to work jobs we actually enjoy.
We no longer have to spend 8 hours sewing clothes for the local village. We now live in a world where we’re able to utilize the talents we already have.
Dream on.
