Slowing down and trusting your intuition can help you navigate life's challenges with greater clarity. When we step away from our screens and reconnect with nature, we gain perspective, access our deeper wisdom, and find the courage to pursue meaningful work despite fear.

Jack Hubbard is a creative entrepreneur and co-founder of three successful businesses: PropellerNet, CoverageBook, and Answer the Public. His current focus is Dream Valley House, a community clubhouse in one of the oldest villages in the French Alps, designed as a mountain basecamp for founders, entrepreneurs, and creatives.

After moving to the mountains with his family, Jack experienced what he calls a "midlife retirement" due to Lyme disease, which led him to step back, slow down, and focus on family and health. Now recovered, he's working to create a space where work and life can fuel each other, and where people can gather to think, make, and move in nature.
