About

Dan Forest

An expert at nothing and a student of everything.

The Dan Forest mark: a D and F with a tree growing through them

Embracing slow life thinking as a middle-aged man trying to make sense of the world.

I am a dreamer, creator, adventurer, critical thinker and an optimistic realist.

I like challenging embedded beliefs and have a weird way of connecting dots that are not always obvious. I may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but that’s okay, I consider myself a strong coffee anyway.

Like an aged whiskey, I let ideas brew for a bit before I let them out.

An expert at nothing and a student of everything. Like most of us, I am fumbling through life and figuring it out as I go along.
