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.

Let’s connectCase Study: CB Rows
Solo Ocean Row for Mental Health and Addiction Recovery
Monterey, California to Punta Mita, Mexico | March 27 - May 4, 2026
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.
