What is LifeAwesome?

I'm Dan. I've spent years in tech, building products, businesses, and systems—while raising a family and trying to live on purpose instead of autopilot.

LifeAwesome is where I share what's working (and what isn't): the experiments, the automations, the frameworks, and the stories behind them.

Systems over hustle

Small, repeatable actions that compound over time

Practical creativity

Tools and tactics that actually ship

Family first

Building a life that supports what matters most

The Framework

The four pillars of a LifeAwesome

Every post, system, and resource maps to one of these four areas

1

Self-Assurance & Personal Growth

Frameworks, stories, and practices to help you feel more grounded, capable, and confident in everyday life.

2

Creativity & Entrepreneurship

Systems and experiments for building projects, businesses, and creative work that actually ship.

3

Family, Adventure & Meaning

Traditions, trips, and small moments that make life feel rich, connected, and memorable.

4

Tools, Tech & Optimization

Apps, automations, and gear that remove friction and help your life run more smoothly.
