27 [M4A] #Online/US - Let’s talk about life, change, goals, fears, and what drives us

Hey there! I want to expand my social circle to include internet strangers! In all seriousness though, I love meeting and chatting with new people.

A bit about me - I'm an entrepreneur who has somehow managed to successfully start two businesses (even writing that out still feels weird lol). I co-founded and help run a management company in the healthcare industry. I also do corporate/motivational speaking so I'm constantly travelling to speak at businesses, events, schools, and do things like podcasts.

Outside of work my hobbies are scattered all over the place. I enjoy music (I play guitar and sax), reading, writing, cooking, baking (I possess the world's best chocolate chip cookie recipe), and fitness (no cookies temporarily...). Over the past year I lost close to 100lbs and really got into weightlifting. If I had to sum up my life - I'm on a quest to 1) see how far I can go, 2) get as close as possible to fulfilling my potential across all areas of life. I believe we've each got potential far beyond our wildest dreams and that we should constantly be getting better, stronger, smarter, kinder, etc. each day. My main driving force and competition is myself - am I better than the person I was yesterday?

You can probably see why I'm a motivational speaker now lol...

We can go into more detail as we get to know each other if you want as I'm a pretty open book, but I've stood on the razor's edge before. I've felt lost in the dark. And well - that's why I do what I do. If I had to sum it up - my life's purpose is to help pull people out of the dark or prevent them from ever getting there in the first place. Or if they're truly lost, I can at least walk alongside them and make it all just a little bit less lonely. That all sounds really sappy... but it's an important part to who I am and why!

Anyways, I'm just looking for random people to talk with about anything. Random chatting, sharing ideas, advice (I always end up the unofficial shrink in friend groups lol). If we only chat for an hour or two - cool. If we end up becoming best friends - cool. Or anywhere in-between - that's cool too. We could be mortal enemies as well if you want - though that's a weird thing to be searching for on here!
