“It is not knowledge, but the act of learning, not possession but the act of getting there, which grants the greatest enjoyment.” — Carl Friedrich Gauss

About the Good Life Dojo

The Good Life Dojo is a space for reflection, creation, and connection across disciplines, dedicated to exploring what it means to live well. It weaves together different areas of my work—including coaching, education, science, sports, art, and philosophy—to inspire meaningful practices and perspectives in both life and work. I invite you to join me in this conversation and shared professional mission, while also welcoming practitioners and individuals to use this space to shape your own path toward a good life, with me as a sparring partner and a supportive community by your side.
