This was the last big year. Starting in 2016, the World Domination Summit will limit ticket sales to 1000 people, instead of the 3000 people it's been for each of the 3 years I attended.

There are many kinds of wealth in the world, and I have lots of them. For a long time, though, I have only had a fortune without coin. This makes the burden of poverty easier to bear; my children are healthy and happy, we live an adventurous life, I am strong, and creative, and I spend my days [...]
Last week I attended Pioneer Nation, a 3-day conference of solopreneurs and location independent entreproducers, organized by the same folks who put on the World Domination Summit. When I attended WDS last year I realized what Chris Guillebeau had done by bringing this community together: he gave us a digital guild. Before WDS, I was [...]
Every year, I draw a Tarot card on my birthday. Starting with a full deck, every birthday I draw a Trump card, to symbolize the year ahead. 2010 – the year of the Fool 2011 – the year of Art 2012 – the year of Fortune 2013 – the year of the Aeon And now, [...]

I've been reading a lot about the World Domination Summit in the past couple weeks. #WDS2013 was, by all accounts, a massive success. There are some incredible posts out there, describing real personal breakthroughs that happened during this 3-day event. Some are delivered with the clarity and creativity of true blogging artists. After reading (and [...]
I now accept the unexpected during Mercury Retrograde, which has given me the ability to ride its currents into magical new places. I'll give you an example. (It's a long story, so stick with me.) I missed my MAX stop at the end of a long day at the World Domination Summit, and a series [...]
This was easily one of the best days of my life. The day started with a 45 minute bike ride into downtown Portland, along the Willamette bluff, watching the city rise and wake. I found a place to meditate, and then I rode through the ever-expanding Pearl District, going to revisit old familiar landmarks, and [...]
I'm on a layover in Houston. This really is the armpit of America. (Or is that Cleveland? I've got a layover there, next week.) Now that I've dipped my toe back into American culture - this is my first time back in the United States for two years - I'm yearning to get back to [...]
This weekend, three thousand game changers will convene in my home city. The World Domination Summit was started by Chris Guillebeau to bring together the dreamers, the lifestyle entrepreneurs, and the unconventional thinkers who are finding new ways to live life and make a difference with the new world of digital technology. It's a lot like the [...]
