What if the “rules” you followed in 2024 are the very things trapping you?


“We cannot become what we want by remaining what we are.”
— Max De Pree


A QUESTION FOR THE NEW YEAR...

We’ve been told our entire lives that “playing by the rules” is the only way to stay safe, succeed, and fit in.

But what if those very rules are quietly confining you—limiting your real potential and keeping you from living the life you crave?

That’s why we created The Brilliant Rebellion: to help you identify and break free from the constructs you never even questioned.

You’ll join a community of free-thinkers who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo—and who support each other through every personal breakthrough.

Here’s what you get when you step inside:

  • Get Fresh Perspectives from our Live Soul Mixers (twice a month): Break outdated beliefs and find new ways of thinking through thought-provoking and soul-stirring discussions.
  • Connection & Community: Enter a safe, supportive, and private space to connect with fellow Rebels who get it—no fluff, and no judgment.
  • Healing & Growth: Access tools and support that will allow you to finally step out of the past, away from beliefs and behaviors that don’t serve you, and toward a more authentic and individualized life
  • Immersive In-Person Events: Experience the transformative power of real-life conversations, exercises, and friendships that leave you feeling truly seen.

We know it can feel daunting to shake off the beliefs you’ve carried your whole life. But if you’re hearing that inner voice whispering, “There’s more for me out there…”, it’s time to listen.

Join us now and discover what happens when you write your own rules.

Ready to see what’s on the other side of those cages? Join The Brilliant Rebellion—and let’s find out together.

P.S. Our first Soul Mixer is on January 7th at 1pm ET/10am PT and is called The Infinite Now, and we chose it as our first one for a reason. Read more about it below or click the image to see our upcoming topics!

Soul Mixer Summary

Anxiety and depression can quickly take over our lives when we focus too much on the past or the future.

Releasing expectations of outcomes, and of ourselves, through the skill of presence is the only path to living a joyful life.

In this Soul Mixer, we’ll explore the role that the past, present, and future play in our lives. You’ll be asked questions that peel back the layers of un-presence in your own life. Together, let’s explore the Infinite Now, the bliss of present existence that we all have access to in every moment.

Life gives you plenty of time to do whatever you want to do if you stay in the present moment. - Deepak Chopra WHAT IF there is no tomorrow? WHAT IF there is no yesterday? WHAT IF all we have is right NOW? Most of our lives are spent looking forward to what's next while running away from what's happened or wishing we could change the past. Yet the only moment we truly have is the Infinite Now. Watch this clip from The Brilliant Rebellion's first Soul Mixer where Dan shares about what it means...

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."- Will Durant Most of us spent some time as 2025 was beginning setting intentions, choosing a word, and writing goals—to manifest what we want. As we looked back at our year in review, we may have seen the learning, the growth, the heartache, and heart opening. I know I did. As we look at this year ahead, we see hope and ideas—wanting to make it the best yet. All of this is well and good, yet there is more here than...

"There is no right or wrong. It’s then versus now." - Rob Bell I've lived most of my life in fear of being bad or wrong. Sure, I've always been a confident go-getter who doesn't take shit, yet behind the scenes, my mind had a program running that no matter what I did, someone would be upset or I'd get in trouble. This fear caused me to make a lot of choices that hurt me or others. It flavored everything I did with an energy of "I hope no one gets upset," even when I KNEW in my conscious mind...
