How to Build a Life

For several years, I led a private program helping over 150 senior executives design more intentional lives. For the first time, it's available to the public. Discover how to cast a compelling vision for your life, create a concrete plan for getting there, and build the necessary systems to make it happen.

"Sean lives an intentional life. If you want that in your life and business, I highly recommend doing whatever you can to associate with him at any level."

Kevin Swenson
‍CEO, Real Estate Appraisal Services

"Building an Intentional Life is transformative and I wish I had taken this course in college. Sean has changed how I approach long-term planning by breaking it down into realistic, achievable steps with accountability and structure to keep me on track. One of the best investments of my life."

Natassia Miller
Founder, Wonderlust

"I've seen the value of strategic planning inside an organization for years. But I've never done it myself. This gave me a ton of clarity on my vision for my life, what my values are, and the blueprint for bringing it all together."

Varvara Alva
‍‍CFO and COO, Avidbots

"Busy executives would 100% benefit from this. But I also think people younger in their career would benefit as well. I wish this was something I'd done 10 years ago."

Clayton Dean
VP Business Development, Ziplines

"What you promised you delivered. Very thoughtful, detailed frameworks that helped me build a much more intentional plan for my life."

Caroline Wilson
‍ VP, Entertainment & Culture Marketing at United Talent Agency

"I am a bit of a skeptic at heart. Thankfully, any concerns I had about investing in the program were quickly assuaged. Your thoughtfulness in preparation and documentation was fantastic. Some of the exercises in module one are worth the price of admission alone."

Caleb Oller
‍‍CEO, Township

"This course is one of the best I’ve ever taken. It's easy to follow and provokes reflection, intention, and life organization. If you want to make time feel like it is expanding, simplify your systems, and set better goals, this is the course for you. I have a much better footing on what I want in my life and in the future because of the tools you helped us learn."

Melissa Joy Kong
Sr. Director of Growth, Avant Communications

"I candidly came into the program with the expectation to just tackle tasks. But this helped me actually make sure I cast a vision that was in alignment with my values. It was way more than what I thought I would get out of it."

Vanessa Mahoney
‍Fractional CMO

"If you have the desire to achieve more, or feel like you're leaving something on the table, I would take that as a signal that you'd get a ton of value from this."

Grant Gochnauer
‍Co-founder and CTO, Vodori

"This is not a program for someone looking to do little things. It's for people with ambition, who have big goals for their lives, but sometimes struggle to make them happen."

Lucia Gastélum
Product and Design Director at MovistarPlus+

"The vision plans helped me take the stuff I had on paper and take massive action on them. Anyone wanting a clear roadmap for their goals would get value out of this."

Jeff Rothenberg
Head of Operations, Inclined

"The biggest win was definitely being able to build that personal operating system for my life. I think it will allow me to really move the needle on those bigger long-term goals."

Amelia Kirby
Product Strategy Lead, AI Wearables @ Meta

"Your thinking is so logical, and you can tell you really live this stuff. It's inspiring to see what's possible when you fully get your systems in place."

Colin Bell
CTO, Gather

This course helped me reframe how I view progress, showing me foundation years are just as vital as growth years. For someone who has always thrived in hyper-growth mode, this perspective shift is liberating, allowing me to honor rest and intentionality as part of my 10-20 year life plan.

Jeanette Cajide
Fractional COO

"It was absolutely wonderful. I’m feeling like I have a much better footing on what I want in my life and in the future because of the tools you helped us learn."

Zack Gilbert
Fractional CTO

"This program was transformative. It helped me deeply reflect on my values and long-term goals, providing the clarity needed to navigate opportunities with confidence. The practical systems we developed have aligned my daily actions with my priorities, leaving me certain that I’m now living a life true to what matters most - an absolutely priceless experience."

Jorge L. Pando
‍Founder, The Effective Company

I was feeling extremely stuck in both my career and personal life. Sean's course completely changed the way I think about vision, goal-setting, planning, and execution. The path to becoming "unstuck" has never felt clearer. I couldn't recommend this course enough.

Scott Halasy
‍‍Senior Product Manager, Review Trackers

What Is This Program About?

In 2022-2023, I led over 150 senior executives through a 6-week program to help them design a better life.

These people were great at their jobs, but worried they weren't building toward anything meaningful. At the same time they often felt like the rest of their lives were out of whack.

And when we dug under the surface, there were usually 3 primary issues preventing them from accomplishing more with their lives:

They didn't have a comprehensive, compelling vision.
They didn't have a concrete plan for how to get there from here.
They didn't have the personal operating system to execute the plan

This was never meant to be my full time thing, and I stopped running the program in 2024 to focus on my primary business. But I kept getting asked when I would run a cohort again.

I have no desire to become an influencer. But the program seems to truly help people. So after the urging of dozens of people, I decided to turn the curriculum into an online course and make it available to a broader audience.

What We Cover:

Craft a compelling vision for the next 10 years of your life.
Identify the values you want to model your life off of.
Translate that 10 year vision into 3 year and 1 year objectives.
Implement a complete system for managing the projects, relationships, and knowledge in your life.
Identify systems and routines that fit into the natural cadence of your life, many of which can be automated so you don’t have to think about it.
Create a daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly operating cadence for managing the execution of your plan.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How much time does this program take?
There are 82 lessons in this program, 18 worksheets, and several hours of homework in each module. This is a program for doers.

That said, there are no time constraints. You won't "get behind" if it takes you longer to complete the material. Some of the modules actually benefit from marinating on things a bit. Others involve the creation of new habits, which themselves take time. Make progress, do the work, but be kind with yourself.

Do I get access to you as part of this?
I don't offer 1:1 coaching as part of this. But you will have access to a private Slack community where you can ask questions asynchronously to myself and other members who've been in the program. You'll also have access to private "office hours" once or twice a month to chat through questions you might have.

What happens if I don't like the course?
If you go through the program, actually do the work, and still believe you didn't get anything out of the program, just send me an email or DM me on Slack and I'll give you a full refund.
