Expedition Coaching

Life's Too Short for Someday

Life has a way of convincing us there’s always a better time. Next year. After the promotion. Once the kids are older.

But what if you didn't have to press pause?

Rolling Sabbaticals make extraordinary expeditions possible without putting life on hold. Through custom training camps, we will build your skills, experience, and confidence to turn someday, into launch day and create an experience you'll remember forever.

The Rolling Sabbatical Journey

Understand You, The Explorer

Successful expeditions begin by understanding the explorer.

We uncover your motivations, values, and aspirations so we can design an experience that helps you become the person you aim to be.

Design the Expedition & Build the Plan

Translate your vision into an Expedition

Together we design an expedition that challenges you, inspires you, and is practical enough to become reality. We build the strategy, digital presence, and campaign to bring your vision to life.

Grow through Bootcamps

The expedition begins long before departure.

You complete progressively challenging experiences that build your expedition skills and readiness. Multi-day training blocks fit around your career, allowing you to prepare for your mission while continuing to live your life.

Embark on the Expedition

Your moment has come to venture into the unknown.

Set off on your expedition with personalized coaching and operational support from Tez and our remote team. If you choose, amplify your impact by sharing your story and supporting a cause that’s meaningful to you.

Integrate the Experience

The expedition ends. Your growth continues.

Reflect on your experience and integrate what you learned into how you live, lead, and pursue your next chapter. If your expedition supported a cause, we celebrate your impact by donating proceeds to your chosen charity.

Case Study: CB Rows

Solo Ocean Row for Mental Health and Addiction Recovery

$ 525 K+

Chris Barbin, serial tech entrepreneur and business exec, spent decades building companies, teams, and opportunities for others. Chris closed over $1B in successful exits, but felt like his life was missing depth, that it was time for a new chapter: an experience that would define a before and after.

Before the Rolling Sabbatical

At 54 years old, Chris approached Tez with a dream to row to Mexico... The catch? Chris had never rowed, sailed, or spent any time at sea. Together, they developed a plan from zero to hero including 4 intensive bootcamps, created a brand and purpose for the expedition, and stood up a nonprofit structure to manage the mission.

Results

Just 10 months after Bootcamp 1 with Tez, Chris became the first person in history to row from California to mainland Mexico. CB Rows' campaign raised over $550,000 USD through sponsorship and a crowdfund for mental health and addiction recovery.

Solo Ocean Rower • Freedive Instructor • Ultramarathonner • Expedition Coach • Nomad

I’m best known for my world-first ocean rows – 197 days alone at sea in my 23-foot boat. But my background in adventure is far deeper.

I’m an AIDA 4 Freedive Instructor with dives up to 124 feet on a single breath. Competitive utramarathon runner in races up to 145-miles nonstop.

For the past 3 years I’ve explored continuously, adventuring in my truck from Baja to Alaska. In short: expeditions are my passion and my lifestyle.
