Hi, my name is Ali.

Thanks for stopping by my site! 👋

You probably found this page because you're curious about who I am...

My truth is that I am nothing, and I am everything. I simply am.

If that's too deep for you, here's a bit of detail around where I invest my time:

I guide two awesome children named Everest and Sepia.
I support my amazing wife, Gabrielle, and look for ways to experience life together.
I pursue an active lifestyle that prioritizes exercise, sport and being outdoors.
I read, listen, write and podcast to fuel my creativity.
I embrace nature and look for ways it can educate me.
I love to travel and experience new cultures / adventures.
I engage in communities that inspire me and align with my values.
I create businesses that support my lifestyle design. Learn more

What's currently in focus?

I've launched a new coaching brand as of Sept 2022. I'm excited to help people find SPACE.
I record on my podcast monthly as a personal / passion project. This still gives me a lot of energy and purpose.
I've been maximizing my time outdoors in nature. Exploring the natural world continues to ignite my soul and teach me new things.

My Squad

I'm blessed to have these beautiful humans in my life 😊. They teach, support and inspire me every day.

Power Mom

Gabrielle Jafarian

Gabrielle is the rock of the Jafarian household. She maintains everything from impeccable countertops to a zero waste family mentality. She loves buffalo wing sauce.

Super Kid

Everest Jafarian

Everest is the fireball of the family. He has the unique ability to unleash massive amounts of energy at a moment's notice. He loves superheroes.

Miss Sassy

Sepia Jafarian

Sepia's first word was, "No." She has since developed an appreciation for saying yes to things in moderation. She loves shoes.

Instagram

Insta is the only social network I use regularly.

I enjoy posting to Instagram because of its simplicity and elegance. It provides for a *less distracting environment where the user can still control what they see and post.

*As of 2023 this is now arguable.

Here's what you'll find from my Insta:

Family updates
Blog and Podcast updates
Health & Wellness
Nature / Being outdoors
Travel experiences
Book suggestions
Other things I find interesting

Social media philosophy

I think most social media is a huge waste of human energy. There is value in sharing knowledge, experiences and inspiration, which is why I use social media sparingly. However, the majority of the world is "hooked" on FOMO (fear of missing out) behavior that keeps them attached to their devices. This behavior is toxic to our souls... and will inevitably yield to a society where we've lost all touch with the real human experience.

Get off your f*cking phones, please :)
