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 those resonate with you?
We are building communities of practice around each of these path questions (and many more).
Within each community, we grow together. We use cycles of practice and reflection to weave more wisdom into our ways over time.
Need more nourishing community in your life? Join us! It starts with defining your path questions.
How does it work?
We create three containers for you: Groove, Way, Path.
We get you in a Groove, so you can find your Way on the Paths that matter most to you.
Your Groove is a rhythm of practice, reflection and accountability that keeps you on your path.
Your Way is how you approach a path. Our Wisdom Challenges weave more wisdom into your way with each cycle of practice and reflection.
Your Paths are defined by your unique "how can I" questions. We help you take tiny steps, creatively adapted to your context as it shifts.
Give it a try!
We kick off Wisdom Challenges almost every week. Drop in and discover the next version of your Way.

In the middle of the road of my life,
I awoke in a dark wood
where the true way was wholly lost.
