If you think life is passing you by, it's time to catch up. The Good Life is closer than you think.

Our Story

Who are we and why should you listen to us?

Kissing by the glacier lake in PeruWe are a recovering, 40-year-old, Type-A couple who learned that living large is not necessarily living well. We did all the typical things people do in their 20s and 30s: climb the corporate ladder, get married, buy a house, get divorced, climb the ladder some more, get married again, accumulate more crap, and keep repeating the process like hamsters on a wheel.

We were in love with each other but not with our lives.

After a serious wakeup call, we decided to focus on what matters and get rid of everything else.

Our big dream was a trip around the world, but we found through personal experience that Living the Good Life doesn’t actually require a passport. In fact, it boils down to just 5 Tenets:

  • Clarify the Mission
  • Strengthen the Mind
  • Rally the Tribe
  • Nurture the Spirit
  • Fortify the Body
We focused on all 5 Tenets, remaking our lives back in the US so we could be ready to follow through on our biggest dream of all. We set out a specific plan to make our mission happen, came to rely on our personal strengths as we accomplished each successive goal, brought together a tribe of supportive and smart people, gave each other space to grow into our bigger lives, and lost 25 pounds each as we became more physically adventurous and avoided the crap that was holding us back.
(We have created a map of our worldwide trip so far if you want to see where we’ve been. It’s been a pretty incredible journey!)
You may or may not want to travel, and it doesn’t really matter either way. What matters is that you focus on these 5 Tenets to make your own version of happily ever after come true.

We believe life is a constant series of small decisions that most of us leave up to someone else to decide. By taking charge of those decisions yourself – even the smallest ones – you can change your life from mundane to magnificent.
