After years in tech sales chasing success—President’s Club, titles, stock options, and fancy perks—I burnt out. In 2020, I hit rock bottom. For 4 years, I struggled with depression, anxiety, stress, and a deep sense of disconnection. Then I was fired for performance. Despite “having it all” on paper, I tumbled quickly and felt lost. I'd had enough and was faced with the choice to start living differently. I decided to rebuild my life from the INSIDE out. Doing the inner work I had been ignoring my whole life. I started writing about mental health online, grew a following of 30,000+, and built a 6-figure coaching business. Things were back on track. But in 2024, I slipped into a deep depression. And for the first time, I experienced thoughts of ending my own life. As scary as that was, it drove me towards a bigger purpose. In March 2025, I start a 2,800-mile walk across America to raise awareness and funds for men’s mental health & suicide prevention. I’m on a mission to help 10M+ men prioritize their mental health. I believe you CAN have it all: success, health, and happiness. But it starts with prioritizing yourself and your mental well-being.

Big news! I’ve partnered with Movember for my walk across America. Too many men are silently carrying too much. We wait until it breaks us before taking action. Until we burn out. Until our body breaks down. Until our relationships and work take a hit. But healing doesn’t need a crisis. It happens by exploring the: → Weight we don’t talk about → Struggle we were taught to hide → Questions we’ve never been given space to answer I believe Movember gets that. And I love how they’re focused on UPSTREAM solutions. Investing in: → Prevention → Conversation → Brotherhood I resonated with them because they’re addressing men’s well-being with a whole-man approach. Mental. Emotional. Physical. This isn’t about making men tougher. It’s about helping men feel truer. More honest. More aligned. More supported. More connected. We’ve already raise over $30,000. And our goal is to raise $65,000. I’m pumped to work with them to support our missions. Let’s help men get back to THRIVING. Not just surviving. 🖤 👋 I’m Tim. 🚀 Former tech sales leader turned founder. 🇺🇸 I’m walking across America for men’s mental health. 🙏 Support the mission: https://gofund.me/8680165e
It took me 70,000 steps, 36 miles, and 10 hours 14 minutes to complete day 34 of my walk across the USA. This walk was tough mentally. I think because I knew I had to wake up and do it again in the morning. I have a stretch of 74 miles from Tuba City to Kayenta, AZ that I needed to cover in 2 days. Complaining or focusing on the negative does no good, it’s time to show up and get miles in. Never could settle into a groove much outside of about an hour span. Feet ached the whole time. Legs felt like they didn’t have their usual drive. But my blisters are still improving little by little. Gorgeous country out here. I sat at a gas station eating half priced, day old pizza and a giant vitamin water when a lady turned the corner and said with some shock… “Oh my! You made it so far so quickly! I passed you way back there.” She had a big smile and it padded my ego, so I took it as a win. Tomorrow is 36mi - it’ll be my biggest week yet. Then it’s an off day. Have a feeling I’ll rebound and feel good tomorrow. One step at a time. 🖤 👋 I’m Tim. 🚀 Former tech sales leader turned entrepreneur. 🇺🇸 I’m walking across America for men’s mental health. 🙏 Support the mission: https://lnkd.in/eymhbsXi
Walking across the USA, day 33 recap: 25.5 miles 46,000 steps 7 hours 2 mins $20 received from a man for lunch My phone, watch, and computer kept jumping between timezones last night. The reservation is on MST, but my phone couldn’t decide. I set my alarm to wake up 30 mins before sunrise, but in the middle of the night my phone decided to change back timezones, so I woke up 30 mins after sunrise. I needed the sleep anyway. I thought a lot about how I've lived life backwards for so long. Putting money, image, and accumulation at the front. (not consciously, of course, I thought that's how life was) I kept putting off vacations, hanging out with friends, visiting family, taking care of my health all because I thought I needed to work incredibly hard and earn as much as possible. How stupid. I believed I just needed to make a little more money. And a little more. And a little more. Only then would the stress stop. Only then would I feel like I “made it.” That day never came, but I realized there’s nowhere to “make it” to. And then I started to feel less stressed. I started to feel like I could do whatever I wanted because the idea of “making it” isn’t a truth. It's perpetuated by the mind to keep us in a state of fear. Funny how it worked that way. We’re all figuring this life out for the first time. There are no rules on how to live it. Yet at some point, we started believing there’s a “right” way. And we spend our whole lives trying to fit ourselves into that box. Stressing and worrying about whether we’ll ever fit. My wish is that we awaken to what is true. There are no rules. You CAN do whatever you want. It’s all a choice. I believe we’re here to find ourSelves. To live authentically as our weird-ass Selves. And to find God within each of us. The next 2 days I cover a stretch of 74 miles. Then it’s an off day. 🖤 👋 I’m Tim. 🚀 Former tech sales leader turned entrepreneur. 🇺🇸 I’m walking across America for men’s mental health. 🙏 Support the mission: https://lnkd.in/eymhbsXi
Wow. My walking for April is complete. This month, I walked for 156 hours, 546 miles, and climbed 29,409 ft of elevation. It required 1,117,000+ steps. And 7 different people drove a support vehicle for me. Seeing these numbers is mind-boggling. But I keep telling myself: “Just keep going and take it one day at a time.” April showed me breathtaking views. It gave me up-close encounters with bald eagles, elk, deer, and bighorn sheep. I also saw countless roadkill and two dogs hit by cars. A reminder of how precious life is. I walked across a desert, up a mountain, across another desert, and over another mountain. Dealt with 5 blisters, a muscle strain, back spasms, and a departing toenail. I walk with a permanent limp as I try my best to compensate and ease the pressure on tender spots. I know a lot of people won’t understand it: “Why don’t you rest more?” "You should take it easy." But it’s the struggle that makes it all worth it. It wouldn’t be the same if I felt 100% every day. And that’s not how life is. Life constantly bombards us with challenge after challenge. Yet our brains are wired for comfort and familiarity—it’s a primal survival technique. Life on the road is showing me how modern living is destroying our mental well-being... And most people don't even realize it. We spend our lives indoors, sedentary, staring at screens. We’ve forgotten that life isn’t about pixels, earning credits, or accumulating more crap. We’re here to learn how to fully express our unique Self. To find our purpose and bring that to the world. To love others - whether we agree with them or not. To realize we are not this body or this mind, we are the soul and the awareness that sits behind it all. To live in community. To realize we are all the same. That it’s all one. To find God in whatever way that makes sense for us. It’s about loving and serving others in ways only you can. We’re not meant to curate a life free from discomfort. We’re meant to grow THROUGH discomfort. To let it sharpen us. To awaken us. And man, it’s hard to live this way. But I don’t see any other way. Keep going. Take it one day at a time. 🖤 👋 I’m Tim. 🚀 Former tech sales leader turned founder. 🇺🇸 I’m walking across America for men’s mental health. 🙏 Support the mission: https://lnkd.in/eymhbsXi
I made a 13-mile mistake yesterday. I missed a turn and didn’t realize it for 3 hours. My heart sank when my phone showed my location on a different highway than I expected. Luckily, there was another route a half mile away but it would require 26 more miles (for a total of 39) I noticed my mind begin to spiral. “Shit. Cannot believe that. What a bonehead move. How could I have missed that. Was not planning on 39 miles.” But I caught myself, took a deep breath, and thought “Solution. Solution.” No way I could let my mind turn negative now. It wouldn’t help the situation. So I focused on what needed to be done with simple self-encouragement. “Okay, let’s go. You got this. You’ve done this much before. This is why you’re here. Keep going.” (Note: My mind resurfaced self-critical thoughts about this for 2 hours. Each time, I’d simply acknowledge it and bring my focus back to the present moment and the steps I was taking. Then it stopped, and I just enjoyed the walk.) Things could have been way worse. It hit me how yesterday’s post was about not numbing or running from pain. How strength is being willing and able to sit with the hard stuff. To face it + feel it. ALL of it. What an opportunity for me to do that... To embrace the error I made. To embrace the part of me that is upset about it. To embrace my new reality and focus on the solution. Besides, I might be better off because of it. Never know. The last 7.5 hours were in a headwind. My hat was flopping all over the place and it bugged the crap out of me. I saw bison, antelope, and camels, and I walked through a herd of cattle. I got soaked in a sideways rain and saw lightning far in the distance. And crossed 75,000 steps again. Time to dry out my shoes and regroup. Keep going. 🖤 👋 I’m Tim. 🚀 Former tech sales leader turned founder. 🇺🇸 I’m walking across America for men’s mental health. 🙏 Support the mission: https://lnkd.in/eymhbsXi
15 miles in and first real glimpse of the Rockies. Surreal to think I’ve walked from SoCal to this point. We keep going! 🖤
99% of my time walking across America is spent without headphones in... No music. No podcasts. No audiobooks. To me, those are distractions. My intention for this walk is to go deep within. Deeper than I’ve ever gone before. To notice my negative thoughts, sit with uncomfortable emotions… To bring presence and awareness to ALL of the fear, worry, doubt, and critical inner critic that comes up. The only way I’ll ever be able to master those is if I get to know them. If I stop running from them or try to shut them up. I have to listen. And constant inputs prevent me from listening. This is how we heal. The only way we truly become our real, authentic selves. There was a time I was too afraid to be with my thoughts, and I turned to weed, alcohol, music, podcasts, TV shows, etc. Anything to “escape” for a bit. But that only perpetuated it. And it limited me from learning how to become present, calm, centered, and clear-headed. So I’m forcing myself to be uncomfortable on this walk. To go through countless hours of working to master myself. Enough avoiding the storm. Time to run towards it. One step at a time. 🖤 👋 I’m Tim. 🚀 Former tech sales leader turned entrepreneur. 🇺🇸 I’m walking across America for men’s mental health. 🙏 Support the mission: https://lnkd.in/eymhbsXi
Day 39 walk across America stats & recap: 25.9 miles 49,000 steps 7 hours 25 mins I made it into New Mexico. Today was full of physical discomfort, but I smiled every time I thought about crossing my 2nd state line. 2 locals stopped to give me drink + food. Best part? They didn’t ask if I needed anything. They just handed me a drink + food with a smile. Him: “Here are 2 bananas too.” Me: “Oh man, I have 4 already!” Him: “It’s OK, take them.” Me in my head: “Yeah I’m gona eat all 6.” These are long days and I could feel them start to wear on me in a different way. The last few days I noticed my focus was only on the time and mileage. Focusing on the end goal like that created a sense of burnout. And it was draining me. Today, I was able to be more in the moment. Taking in sights, focusing on my breath, just being one with the road. It was amazing to feel the shift. Felt so much lighter and more effortless. A reminder that I’m not in a race. I can push myself without needing to count every mile. Then my left shin swelled up and I limped for the last 10 miles. But I got it in an ice bath and one of my best friends is a DPT so he’s helping me with all my little injury updates. Tomorrow is another 26-27. (Realizing I’ve been walking a lot of marathons lately) Keep going. 🖤 👋 I’m Tim. 🚀 Former tech sales leader turned entrepreneur. 🇺🇸 I’m walking across America for men’s mental health. 🙏 Support the mission: https://lnkd.in/eymhbsXi
I’m so happy to not be eating pizza. 24 miles today started with a 5-hour climb to 9,100 ft. Felt so drained when I got into town. Just wanted some real, clean food. Luckily there was a grocery store nearby (this is very rare in small towns) At an airbnb so I got to cook a bit. Tomorrow I’m camping. Let’s keep going. 🖤 👋 I’m Tim. 🚀 Former tech sales leader turned founder. 🇺🇸 I’m walking across America for men’s mental health. 🙏 Support the mission: https://gofund.me/8680165e
I got a wild idea for when I finish my walk across America… Live out of a camper van for a year, traveling the best parts of the US, hosting workshops, doing speaking gigs, writing a book, and training jiu jitsu. I don’t know how to beat that. 🖤
I just completed my 5th week walking across America. Crazy to think it’s been 35 days already. This week took me: 177.1 miles 356,324 steps 49 hours 42 minutes 9,813 ft elevation climbed And we crossed $27,000 in funds raised! I’ve had this sense that I need to challenge myself more. So I pushed myself this week. To go deeper within. To surrender even more + deepen my faith. And to use miles as that vehicle. I walked from Sedona to Kayenta this week. Starting in snow, ending in the high desert. After I got through Creek Canyon, much of the road had a walkable shoulder which allowed me to pick up the pace. I saw a wild horse and her foal. Gofers, hawks, dogs, sheep, cows, and deer. I’m feeling more clarity. More peace come over me. More alignment with values. I find myself wanting to help people more. It makes me feel better to be compassionate to everyone I meet. I find myself wanting to become a speaker after this walk. Something that I was terrified to admit to myself for years. But I’m feeling comfortable with it now. Feels right. I’m learning that fear never fully goes away. We just change how we relate to it. We don’t let it run our lives. Depression & anxiety aren’t mistakes. They’re our bodies trying to teach us something. Trying to tell us that something is off. In how we’re living, in our values, in our priorities, in who we’re becoming. They’re simply calls for us to make a change. I have 330 miles until I get to Taos, NM. Going to try to cover that in 2 weeks. Keep going. 🖤 👋 I’m Tim. 🚀 Former tech sales leader turned entrepreneur. 🇺🇸 I’m walking across America for men’s mental health. 🙏 Support the mission: https://lnkd.in/eymhbsXi
Today, I'll cross the 1,000-mile mark on this walk. Starting at the Pacific Ocean, crossing deserts, mountains, national forests, reservations... I've done five 30+ mile walks, a 53-mile walk, and 7 marathons in 7 days this week. It's been incredibly challenging. But I'm loving it. And learning so much. Yesterday I walked: 27.28 miles 52,824 steps 3,300 ft of descent My pace was as fast as it’s been in 3 weeks. A sign my leg and blisters are healing. I noticed some bear tracks on the side of the road. I’m walking through national forests, so I know they’re out there. But I can’t allow myself to worry about them. If I come across one, I’ll deal with it then. Worrying ahead of time does no good. (It takes me out of the moment) My dad asked me if I’ve had any big revelations, seeing as I’m already 1/3rd of the way through this journey. I said, “Most pain is in the mind.” This walk is 97% mental. The physical discomfort, blisters, body aches, sore muscles… Turns out they’re mental. Meaning, yes, I feel them. But when I fixate on them, they grow. When I focus my mind on something helpful (like a mantra), the pain literally goes away. When I can rest my awareness anywhere that isn’t the pain, the pain goes away. I’ve gone from limping due to sharp pains in my feet To being in full stride and feeling strong with NO pain. It’s blown my mind. But it’s not easy to do. And I won’t lie and say I’ve mastered it. Far from it. It takes focus, discipline, pain tolerance, and PURPOSE… But I’ve experienced it each of the last 53 days. It’s taught me we’re all tougher than we think. We’re built to handle life’s toughest challenges. On to day 54, then 2 rest days. Keep going. 🖤 👋 I’m Tim. 🚀 Former tech sales leader turned entrepreneur. 🇺🇸 I’m walking across America for men’s mental health. 🙏 Support the mission: https://lnkd.in/eymhbsXi
Yesterday felt like another big milestone. I reached 11,140 ft in elevation - the highest point in my walk across the USA. It was one of my most physically demanding days. 26.17 miles and barely any cars on the road. Walking through the mountains with the most breathtaking scenery. It's hard not to be in a perpetual state of AWE. I saw another huge bald eagle. It jumped out of the tree right by the road, spread its wings, and flew off in the opposite direction I was walking. I threw my hands in the air like I just won the World Series. “YESSS!” Nature's pure, raw beauty in action. I often think about how hard it was to get out of bed each morning 10 months ago. And now I’m getting up at 530am and walking a marathon each day. I don’t know what the future holds post-walk But I’m grateful I don’t give up when things get tough. Taking it a day at a time. 🖤 👋 I’m Tim. 🚀 Former tech sales leader turned entrepreneur. 🇺🇸 I’m walking across America for men’s mental health. 🙏 Support the mission: https://lnkd.in/eymhbsXi
Took an unplanned rest day today. Official injury report: Day-to-day with lower body injury. Listed as Probable for tomorrow. The muscle outside of my left shin is tight, swollen, and red - locking my foot at a 90-degree angle. Felt I could have walked today, but have a big stretch coming up so wanted to give it some rest and recovery. Training and playing sports for 30+ years has taught me a lot about my body - when to push and when to rest. Going to do some mobility, core work, cold exposure, and keep feet elevated as much as I can. A lesson to take each day as it comes. Keep going. 🖤 PS Napped for 90 mins this morning – a sign my body wanted some rest. === 👋 I’m Tim. I’m walking across the USA for men’s mental health.
Today marks day 60 on my walk across the country. Even if it ended tomorrow, it would be the most life-changing thing I’ve ever done. No question. I got emotional thinking about day 1 as my feet touched the Pacific Ocean moments before starting. Part excited, part scared... I went into full-on prayer: “Okay God, here we go. It’s you and me now. I’m surrendering it all, I’m trusting you to keep me safe and guide me through this.” Everything from the last few years led me to that moment. And I had no idea what was about to happen to me over the next 8+ weeks. Challenge after challenge. Divine moment after divine moment. Practicing both toughness and opening my heart. Two things I believed couldn’t coexist. How can you be both strong & tender? Compassionate & powerful? Driven & at peace? But it’s not either/or. They each need the other. They strengthen each other. This walk has stripped me down at times - physically, mentally, emotionally. And underneath, I haven’t found weakness. I found truth. That my heart and strength were never at odds. They just needed a chance to connect. And maybe that’s what this walk is really about. Coming home to the me that’s always been there… Before the expectations. Before the successes. Before the failures. It’s shown me real strength isn’t about pretending you’re fine. It isn’t found in burying or pushing through pain. It’s found in staying with it. Not running from it. But feeling it. Letting it guide you instead of harden you. The man I’m becoming doesn’t numb, escape, or perform. He stays, feels, and leads with an open heart. Especially when it’s hard. That’s the kind of strength we need more of. 🖤 👋 I’m Tim. 🚀 Former tech sales leader turned founder. 🇺🇸 I’m walking across America for men’s mental health. 🙏 Support the mission: https://lnkd.in/eymhbsXi
Day 47 on my walk across America. Today is my 3rd rest day in a row due to an injury... I’ve been battling a muscle strain in my left leg (and major swelling) that caused me to take an off day, visit urgent care, reduce my mileage to 20 miles per day, and slow my pace by 3 mins/mile. I’ve spent the last 48 hours with my leg elevated and in a compression sleeve. Yesterday I was able to do some strength exercises. Outside of day 1, there hasn’t been one day where I haven’t felt some sort of pain or discomfort in my legs & feet. It’s just part of it. This walk parallels life so much. We deal with shit every day. That’s the nature of life. But our quality of life is determined by how we handle it. Do we GIVE IN to it? Do we succumb to the pressure and choose the easy route of quick relief? Alcohol, weed, TV, comfort food, social media… Or do we face it head-on? Do the hard things that life is asking of us. Choose HEALING over relief. We must build the mindset that everything we face is part of it. There are no mistakes. Everything we face is an opportunity to learn where we are sitll not free internally. Our triggers, fears, insecurities, judgments. Are we inflicting pain on others simply because WE feel pain? That just perpetuates the cycle. Or can we lead with love, compassion, understanding? It’s not easy to live this way. But it’s how we break the cycle of suffering. In ourselves first, then in others. My mom spent 8 days with me driving a support vehicle last week. She flew out from San Diego and drove to meet me in Navajo Nation. I wanted to make it to a beautiful part of the mountains in NM, but life had other plans. Thankful I had her with me as I navigated this injury. I do miss solo time on the road, but it’s amazing to share this walk with the people I love most. My dad is on his way now to support me as I climb another 5,000 feet in elevation over the next 180 miles towards Taos, NM. After that, I’ll take on tornado season in the Great Plains. We keep going. 🖤 👋 I’m Tim. 🇺🇸 I’m walking across the USA for men’s mental health. 🧢 Support the mission and grab a 'Keep Going' hat before they sell out: https://lnkd.in/e7H5H84E
Day 42 walk across America recap... And somehow I’ve spent 6 weeks on the road. 40,500 steps 20 miles 6 hours I’ll have stayed in this hotel for 9 nights when it’s all done. An anomaly considering the nature of this walk. But between having a support vehicle, an injury I’m monitoring, rest days, and no towns within 110 miles in either direction… it just happened this way. It feels incredibly weird, but this too is part of it. My left leg felt much better today. There’s still pain and swelling, but it was manageable. The injury primarily affects me going downhill. I’m lucky to be walking without the 100lb stroller. Doing a 2-mile steep downhill stretch would be brutal with that. My pace has slowed by 2-3 minutes per mile, but I’m happy to be walking still. I chatted briefly with a road worker as he was picking up traffic cones. His truck was blasting country music, he looked at me with a huge smile, and said “Great day isn’t it?!” Told me he drove up from Albuquerque for the job today. He asked if I was out getting some exercise in. And told me that my leg looked swollen. (I had 1 mile left for the day) He was so friendly and bubbly. I feel so lucky to see all these parts of the country and meet everyday people. Towns I never knew existed. People I would have never met otherwise. Many of the conversations aren’t spectacular or mind-blowing. But they’ve shown me just how alike we are at our core. SO different on the surface. But at our core, the same. People just wanting to feel loved, accepted, valued, worthy. It’s a gift to be present with them. It’s giving me a deeper appreciation for human beings. And teaching me to see the good in people - not our differences. Tomorrow I’ll do 10-20 miles. One step at a time. 🖤 👋 I’m Tim. 🚀 Former tech sales leader turned entrepreneur. 🇺🇸 I’m walking across America for men’s mental health. 🙏 Support the mission: https://lnkd.in/eymhbsXi
I was harassed by 2 guys this morning walking back from breakfast in Taos, NM They were in their early 20s. Drunk on some combo of Sunny D and booze. It was 930am and we were walking the same direction on the sidewalk. They stopped for some reason and when I got to them I said “Whats up fellas? Morning.” They laughed and then followed close behind me. One guy kept making fun of everything I was wearing: “Keep going… nice hat. Look at those fking shoes. Fking tourist.” (You know… the hard hitting stuff.) It wasn’t comfortable, but I didnt feel threatened. Just seemed like 2 lost boys without direction. I walked for a bit, then stopped, moved out of the way to let them pass so they weren’t behind me. They continued to talk about me but I couldn’t hear much. Old me would have turned and told them to shut up, or try to intimidate them. But my ego didn’t feel the need. Today I felt so much compassion for them. I thought about how they probably grew up with a split home, likely zero positive male influences. Didn’t have the role models or opportunities that I had. Maybe they’ve just had a rough couple years and lost a sibling or a parent or something And they have no idea how to cope. Reminded me of one of my favorite quotes: “People often look for love in the most unloving ways” I saw 2 boys who, at their core, were just like me. Just wanted to fit in and be loved. If I had their life, upbringing, education, parents, experiences… I’d be exactly where they are. A reminder that judgment is easy. Compassion + understanding is hard. But you never know what life events unfolded to guide them to where they are now. And all they want is to just feel connected & supported & seen & purpose again. We’re better when we give a little less judgment and a lot more understanding. 🖤 PS Tomorrow I leave Taos and head east toward Kansas. About 520 miles until I reach Wichita.
Howdy, I’m Tim. And I’m spending 6 months walking across America to bring awareness to men’s mental health. Here's why I’m doing this: From 2015-2020, I was at the peak of my career. →Top rep globally →President’s Clubs →Brand new 4Runner →Making great money →Led a sales office in NYC at booming tech company. It was all great on paper. But I was secretly battling on the inside. Depression & anxiety. Loneliness & self-sabotaging behaviors. I started drinking heavily on weekends. Partook in party drugs. I had become so dispassionate about work. I was lazy, unmotivated, and had no purpose. Then in 2020, I was fired for performance. Right in the middle of the pandemic. But what felt like my rock bottom, became my turning point… I got honest with myself. I wanted to get back to being the man I knew I was deep within. A leader, a hard worker, healthy, driven, motivated, loving. I started working on my mental health by: →Journaling →Meditating →Quitting alcohol →Cleaning up my diet →Reading 100s of books →Exploring plant medicine therapies →Taking cold showers every morning And in 4 months, I turned the corner with depression. I started my first business. I started writing online (here on LinkedIn). I started talking openly about my struggles. High-performing men from all over reached out to talk. Resonating with my story, sharing how they too struggled. I had struggled with an apathetic, deep depression. I had suicidal thoughts every day for 4+ months. I took a life-changing trip to India in October 2024. Bathing in the Ganges River, I asked the universe/spirit/God for help. I felt a presence surround me and say, “I see you, hear you, and GOT you.” When I got back from my trip, I had the idea to walk across the USA. Sort of a personal quest, initiation, pilgrimage… And one I could use to bring light to mental health & suicide. Now, I’m out here walking 20-30 miles daily. (sometimes 50+) Battling my inner critic. Battling a sore, painful body. But I refuse to let those win. My path is to surrender it all to a higher power. Something to guide me and take care of EVERYTHING for me. I’ve never done that before. It’s scary at times for sure. But the more I lean in and surrender, the more I learn that something is looking out for me. My goal is to raise $50k+ for mental health charities. And to reach 10M men during these 6 months. My mission is to end the stigma that holds men back from HEALING. We can do this together. Keep shining light on this subject. And keep going. One day at a time. 🖤 👋 I’m Tim. 🚀 Former tech sales leader turned entrepreneur. 🇺🇸 I’m walking across America for men’s mental health. 🙏 Sponsor a mile: https://lnkd.in/eU667Ffa
Multiple people have told me to be careful walking across the Navajo Nation reservation… The FIRST person I met on the rez saw my stroller and asked me about my walk and mission. He handed me a $20 and said “that’s for lunch.” Such a kind man. Another divine moment and lesson to not let others project their fears onto you. Keep an open mind and an open heart. 🖤 👋 I’m Tim.
