A little bit of my story

How living outside led to coaching adhd entrepreneurs

In 2007 I lived in Atlanta, worked as an insurance broker, and had an amazing girlfriend. I was happy enough. I had fun with my friends. I made good money. I had enough time off to travel a little bit. But I didn’t feel fulfilled. My soul wasn’t satisfied.

I didn’t have those words at the time but I felt a distinct sense of lack.

Between two jobs I volunteered at a rural hostel for about a month. And I got my mind blown. I was introduced to the importance of food, the endless potential of relationship, and the possibility of traveling full-time. I realized that all of the futures I’d imagined were actually a very narrow band of potentials. I decided that, as soon as possible, I’d quit my new job and start a life on the road.

So in 2009, I walked away from a high-paying career, a nice house, and a good relationship. To follow my heart towards a life of purpose.

That path led me deep into the natural world. For six years I slept under the stars more often than under a roof. I woke up with the sun and lived my days in sync with the rhythms of the world around me. Most meals I cooked over a fire, and most nights I gathered with loved ones around a fire. I ran through forests, scrambled up trees, and canoed down long rivers, with charcoal under my nails and birdsong in my ears.

I awakened my natural soul.

In 2012 I went back to selling insurance. For 3 years I just worked the 7-week busy season, and continued to travel the rest of the year. Then the insurance carrier I had contracted with asked me to start an agency. To recruit, hire and train new agents.

As I built that insurance agency from the ground up, I applied the nature-based principles of the 8 Seasons Cycle. This perfectly natural model empowered my agents to thrive by doing the right things at the right times, instead of spinning their wheels or scrambling to do work that didn’t yield results.

Then I started helping my entrepreneur friends apply the 8 Seasons Cycle to their businesses, and that led to me founding 8 Seasons Consulting.

Since then I’ve helped more than 100 clients connect with their own rhythms, and apply that wisdom to their business and every aspect of their lives.
