Knowledge is power.

PRACTICE

Have you been practicing?

Let's get you on the paths 

that matter most to you.

 

Step by step.

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.

Founder of Thrive Circle
Question: How can I love my children more skillfully?
Question: How can I weave mindfulness more deeply into my days?
Question: How can I get and stay in shape?

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.)

In the middle of the road of my life,

I awoke in a dark wood

where the true way was wholly lost.

- Dante, The Divine Comedy
