The life I built worked for 17 years. Until it didn't.
For 17 years I had the stable job, the dream house, the life that looked great on paper. Then, on , while everyone was sipping margaritas, my wife Anita and I sat down at a Mexican restaurant and made a list that changed everything.
Six months later, we sold the house, sold most of what we owned, and moved to Costa Rica. I slowed down in ways I didn’t know I needed to, reignited my creativity, and chose a life I wanted to live instead of one I thought I was supposed to.

“I’m not telling you to move to Costa Rica. I’m telling you that the life you actually want is closer than it feels, and the creative work you keep putting off is exactly what leads you there.”
