About Brian Oney

I'm a person with many interests, a history of transformative adventures, & a fair amount of life to reflect on — some of which hurt a lot. I'm divorced. That one hurt, & it taught me more about what I actually value than almost anything else.

I'm neuro-spicy (ADHD). I'm a father & a son. My kids are becoming adults now, which is its own kind of transition to observe up close. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, & I'm caring for my moms while building this work.

I've been through some serious men's-challenge work over the years — the kind of experiences designed to test what you're made of. What they gave me, unexpectedly, was a deep appreciation for how much of the wisdom I needed had been written or lived by women. Jane Addams. Our moms. Brené Brown. Codie Sanchez. Marie Forleo. A long list, still growing. I learn most from people who refuse the easy story, & a lot of those people happen to be women.

I read widely. I travel when I can. I'm interested in almost everything — which is both a feature & a challenge.

If we work together, you get all of that — the range, the curiosity, the willingness to change my mind — rather than a narrow expertise pretending to be the answer.
