What’s “The Next 30 Trips” All About?
It’s about navigating the next 30 years of life, whether you’re 20, already in your 30’s like me, or somewhere beyond. It’s an evolving exploration of purpose and career outside of the typical path, and the typical norms.
By the time I was thirty, I’d lived a lot of my early dreams: I’d launched rockets, built platforms to land them at sea, traveled, lived in hotels, ate fancy meals — and found myself totally burnt out with no future in sight. I checked all the boxes, did the cool shit, and found it didn’t feed my soul.
That’s how I started my next 30 trips around the sun, with an intention to live a more present and authentic life. From learning to slow down, to finding the real motivations behind what drives us, to learning to do really hard things the best we can, this newsletter is less about answers than finding interesting questions. I seek to explore the interfaces and edges of what makes up our lives so we might pursue our most authentic paths.
Put another way, I don’t know a single damned thing, but I’m trying to find out. Wanna come along?
