A book in progress about midlife, meaning, and building what’s next.
Second Summit is a work in progress.
It’s a book I’m writing alongside men who are navigating the middle of life, when the momentum that carried you through the first half starts to slow, and the questions quietly change.
This isn’t about starting over.
It’s about paying attention.
About building forward, on your own terms.
Right now, Second Summit lives in conversations.
I’m talking with men about work, identity, health, ambition, relationships, and the uneasy feeling that success doesn’t always equal alignment. Some conversations are one-on-one over a beer. Others happen in small groups. All of them are helping shape the book.
If you’re asking better questions lately, and you’re open to talking honestly about the answers, you’re in the right place.
Why This Exists
At some point, life stops being hypothetical.
You’ve built a career.
You’ve taken on responsibility.
You’ve made choices that stuck.
And then one day, you realize you’re no longer becoming, you’re maintaining.
Second Summit exists for that moment.
Not as a solution, a system, or a set of promises, but as a place to slow down, reflect, and think clearly about what comes next.
The book is built from real stories, shared experiences, and thoughtful conversations. No shortcuts. No performative growth. No pretending to have it all figured out.
Just honest work, done deliberately.
How You Can Be Involved
One-on-one conversations
Private, respectful, 45–60 minute discussions that help inform the book.
Small group roundtables
Guided conversations with a small group of men exploring shared themes.
Written reflections
Short prompts you can respond to privately, anonymously if you choose.
You don’t need a perfect story.
You don’t need answers.
You just need to be willing to engage honestly.
A Note From Me
I’m not writing this book from a distance.
I’m in it too, asking my own questions, paying attention to my own blind spots, and trying to build the next chapter with more intention and purpose than the last.
If this resonates, I’d love to talk.
