Introducing New Renaissance Tribe

A Weekly Newsletter for Modern Creators, Explorers, Builders, & Meaning-Makers

Your life is not just a series of days—it’s a canvas of living art.

There's a quiet shift happening. A growing realization.

Across the globe, people are waking up to the limitations of our connected-yet-disconnected modern existence. We're questioning the separation between work and art, between travel and home, between digital efficiency and soulful living.

I'm excited to announce a new project aimed at inspiring and supporting those navigating this shift.

Introducing New Renaissance Tribe

For the past six weeks, I've been quietly publishing a variety of personal reflections, essays, and practical insights related to creative purpose, intentional travel, and what it means to live a renaissance life in our digital age.

(Check out the archive here.)

Today, I'm officially inviting you to join this growing community.

Like the original Renaissance that responded to rigid medieval structures, today’s shift is a response to our hyper-specialized, algorithm-driven, productivity-obsessed culture.

It calls us back to:

• Living artfully, embracing beauty and creating everyday magic in our lives

• Learning expansively, cultivating knowledge across disciplines

• Traveling with intention, approaching places as both students and artists

• Working with purpose, building livelihoods that sustain both bank accounts and souls

• Connecting authentically, creating meaningful relationships that transcend digital convenience

• Creating courageously, valuing expression and exploration over algorithmic approval

• Embracing wonder, maintaining curiosity and awe in an age of information overload

What to Expect

Each week, you'll receive a thoughtful exploration of some aspect of the New Renaissance approach to living:

• Essays that celebrate beauty, meaning, purposeful pursuit, and interdisciplinary thinking

• Personal narratives from my journey as a musician, creator, world traveler, and digital entrepreneur

• Practical strategies for committed travelers, nomads, and creators building location-independent lives

• Conversations on a variety of topics geared toward people who refuse to live anything less than a beautiful, meaningful life

Subscribe now to receive these weekly letters directly in your inbox and become part of a growing community of modern renaissance souls.

Your life itself is your greatest creative work.

This publication is a starting point, and the foundation for workshops, live events, a podcast, and more.

Why I'm Creating This Now

After years of working in digital business, making art, and connecting with like minds around the globe, I realized something:

Those of us building unconventional lives often do it alone.

But we shouldn’t have to.

We need spaces that celebrate nuance, creativity, and nontraditional paths—places that feel like home in a society built for consumption, distraction, and surface-level connection.

The world is changing fast. Our possibilities, limitations, and cultural values are being rewritten in real time. In this fragmented landscape, many seek the connection we’ve lost, and it’s easy to be pulled into tribalist ideologies and narratives that stoke division.

What we need instead is a true sense of tribe: community rooted in shared values, inspiration, support, connection, and the belief that there’s a better way to live.

Does this resonate with you?
