About Chaos & Clarity
Most of life happens somewhere between chaos and clarity — and usually closer to chaos.
I’m Jack. I run an IT services company, try to be a good husband and dad, fly an airplane for fun, and work on staying healthy enough to keep up with everything I care about. Like most people, I’m a work in progress with a lot of moving parts.
Chaos & Clarity is the place where I slow down long enough to actually notice what’s going on — the drift, the course corrections, and the moments that bring things back into focus.
Every issue follows a simple rhythm:
where I drifted,
what I corrected,
what I learned,
what I’d do differently next time,
and what clarity looks like now.
This isn’t self-help or optimization culture.
It’s reflection.
It’s paying attention.
It’s choosing the next right step inside a life that rarely stands still.
Think of this newsletter as a conversation — not a lecture.
A check-in, not a performance.
A small pause built into a fast week.
If you’re balancing work, family, health, purpose — and trying to stay sane while you’re at it — you’ll feel at home here.
Thanks for being here.
— Jack
Why Subscribe to Chaos & Clarity?
Because most of us drift more than we admit — and course-correcting alone is harder than it needs to be.
Every week, you’ll get one honest snapshot of real life in motion:
where things slipped off-heading, what brought them back, and what clarity looked like when it finally showed up.
You won’t get optimization hacks or perfection talk here.
You’ll get:
simple, human course corrections
reflections that help you notice your own patterns
a weekly moment to slow down and reset
a real voice, not a performative one
encouragement that doesn’t feel like self-help
If you’re juggling work, family, health, ambition, chaos, and everything in between… this will feel like home base.
Subscribe to follow along — and find a little clarity each week.
