Hey Rebel Reader ! Another quick one before the longest day tips toward evening, and I hit the road again. I'm just back from the IRE conference in Washington DC a few intense days of workshops and lightning coaching sessions with investigative journalists doing the work that holds truth to power. A humbling crowd, and an honor to work with all of them. Heading to Oregon this week for Overland Expo PNW. If you're in the Pacific Northwest, come find me. I'll be showcasing our adventure rig,...

Hey Rebel Reader ! Quick one, because it's happening today. This morning is our monthly Rebellion Collective gathering. It's the room we build for people in transition: navigating burnout, a layoff, the question of what work is even for, or the slower realization that you've lost touch with your body and your joy along the way. Different doorways, same room. We open in presence, share a short talk on the month's theme (this time, the V.O.I.D., the forces quietly draining your capacity), then...

Hey Rebel Reader ! The dates I sent for this month's Awake In The Wild sessions were not the real dates. I had a moment, the calendar had a moment, and you got the wrong information. Here's what's actually happening: Morning Sits with Awake In The Wild May 11th to 14th / 18th to 22nd, Mon to Fri, 7:30 AM PT. Roughly 30 minutes. Free, on Zoom. [Register here] Kit is corrected now, but yesterday's email isn't retroactively fixable. So this is me fixing it the analog way. See you on the cushion!...

Hey Rebel Reader ! The next three weeks are full. I wanted to put it all in one place in case you want to find me. I'm leading the Awake In The Wild morning sits all this week and next, covering the Sunday Sit tonight at 4:30PM PT, running three Wild Rebellion sessions at Boulder Startup Week. Heading to the SABEW Journalism Conference in Philly, and after that Bex and I head down to Overland Expo in Flagstaff. Whew! Spring has sprung. Sunday Sit with Awake In The Wild Sunday May 3rd, 4:30 PM...

Hey Rebel Reader ! I built something I've been thinking about for a long time. The C.H.E.A.T. Code Capacity Audit. Ten questions. Two minutes. It maps where your energy, attention, and time are actually going, not the story you're telling yourself about where they're going. You'll get a score, a dimension-by-dimension breakdown, and personalized practices based on your specific pattern. The whole thing runs in your browser. No login. No account needed. On the results page, you can sign up for...

Hey Rebel Reader ! Four humans came back from the moon last night. If you've been anywhere near a screen this weekend, you've seen some version of the images. The parachutes. The capsule bobbing in the Pacific off San Diego. Four faces: Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, Victor Glover, Jeremy Hansen, all climbing out of Orion with the particular look astronauts have when they've been somewhere most of us can only imagine. It was the first crewed lunar mission since 1972. Fifty-three years. Most...

Hey Rebel Reader ! Something has shifted for me over the last few weeks. I’ve been paying closer attention to where my money goes, where my attention goes, and what systems quietly depend on both. And I’ve decided to participate less. Less subscribing. Less buying. Less feeding the parts of the digital economy that extract more than they return. The Matrix 1999. Documentary of fiction? I wrote a longer piece about this on Substack. It traces a lineage of non-participation. Unplugging from the...

Hey Rebel Reader ! I need to be honest with you. I've been trying to figure out how to show up in this moment. How do I write about capacity and alignment while watching families get torn apart? How do I talk about career transitions while democracy is crumbling? It's felt obscene. Like I'm supposed to pretend the world isn't on fire. But going silent doesn't feel right either. So I wrote something. I'm trying to work through this in real time and maybe you are too. [Bearing Witness As A Form...

Hey Rebel Reader ! Quick check-in. A bunch of you are here because you were on my list back in the Changing Work days. I'll still be sending out updates here about Changing Work, and soon you will be able to subscribe/unsubscribe to just those if you like. but since then I’ve renamed things, rebuilt my domain + email setup, and honestly… clarified what I’m here to do next. While Changing Work is incubating it's next chapter, over the next few weeks, I’m going to be sharing more about what I'm...
