Chip Scholz is an executive coach, author, and storyteller who writes about how people grow, change, and eventually let go.

For nearly 30 years, he has worked with leaders and organizations navigating transition, uncertainty, and growth. Earlier in his career, he worked in sales, management, and public affairs, where he saw firsthand how easily identity becomes tied to roles, titles, and recognition.

Over the course of a long career in business and coaching, he’s come to see that the moments that shape a life rarely arrive with fanfare. They show up quietly—in family conversations, unexpected detours, and even in a woodshop, shaping a piece of maple.

Chris believes fatherhood should never shrink a man’s purpose—it should expand it. Through his journey of sobriety, personal growth, faith, and relentless endurance, he is modeling for his children what it looks like to pursue hard things with intention.

Jon Hord spent years as a high-achieving professional… while feeling like a reactive, stressed-out parent at home. He wanted to be present with his kids, but didn’t know how. His short temper and the missed moments were slowly turning him into the father he promised himself he’d never become.
