What paths matter most to you?
Maybe they're easy to practice:
- Learning a language
- Lifting weights or doing yoga
- Playing an instrument
But probably they're hard to practice:
- Loving with skill
- Creating with courage
- Doing hard things
- Leading with wisdom
- Bringing beauty to each moment
These are pathless paths,
journeys that challenge us
to change from the inside out,
and from moment to moment.
Hi, I'm Clark.
I'm a dad. A musician and a mystic. A teacher and a coach. An entrepreneur and a peace scientist. (I didn't know that was a thing either.)
I did a BA at Stanford University, an MA and PhD from George Mason University (under Tyler Cowen), and a post-doc at New York University. I spent 5 years at McKinsey, and left to start my own consulting shop in 2016.
But the real schooling for me has been marriage and divorce, fatherhood and family. In my bones, I now know that relationships reveal what success conceals. And that success - without love - is not success.
I built Thrive Circle to help you find your way in the relationships and on the paths that matter most to you.
​
We use "how can I" questions to illuminate a pathless path, even as it shifts from day to day, and moment to moment.
​
Here are some of mine.

Any of these resonate with you?
If so, then you also know how easy it is to get stuck on these paths. You don't have to do it alone.
Thrive Circle is a community of practice, designed to help you find your way on the paths that matter most to you, then climb the mountain of change together. One day at a time. Step by step.
Need more nourishing and supportive community in your your life? Join us! It starts with defining your path questions.
How does it work?
We help you welcome all the hard parts on your path, and alchemize them using 5 powerful mindsets: Wonder, Gratitude, Courage, Creativity and Wisdom.
We use guided "audio journeys" to create an emotional connection into the spirit of the mindset that you're cultivating. You are welcome to try "Wonder", the first audio journey in the sequence here. (It's meant to be an immersive experience, so wear headphones.)
Give it a try!
We host Gratitude Workshops almost every week. Drop in to listen to the next audio journey, and reflect on the next steps on your path with others.

I awoke in a dark wood
where the true way was wholly lost.
