Welcome to Side Questing Life!
Most of us spend decades chasing goals, promotions at work, traditional definitions of success in life, and following all the rules of our society. But one day we wake up and ask: Is this all there is?
That question is the beginning of turning your side quests into your primary pursuit.
Now is the time to redefine success and happiness, and create the freedom to live what’s left of your life on your terms!
I’m an empowerment coach for adventurous Gen X folks who want to transition into a more exciting second act of life.
Fueled by self-employment.
Enabling semi-retirement.
Pursuing more enjoyment.
By this point, you have worked hard for decades! You have earned and deserve that side-questing life you never had the luxury to pursue before. Until now.
Join my side-questing crew to learn how to create a more empowered life that taps into everything you’ve learned and experienced. It’s time to chase new dreams, try new hobbies, explore new things, indulge in new experiences, and check off those items on your bucket list.
We all deserve better health, secure finances, more adventure, fun relationships, deeper intimacy, and more! Life is too short to settle for less than that. So, let this newsletter and podcast encourage you to create a plan and a timeline to make it all happen!
I want to help empower you to live boldly, authentically, and intentionally by creating a life filled with freedom, vitality, purpose, and meaningful connections. I will share my weekly side-questing finds and information to help you build the life you were always meant to live.

I’m Dr. Larry Cornett, a psychologist who loves to research what inspires and motivates people to live their best lives. I spent decades in the corporate world and thought that climbing the career ladder to become an executive would bring me happiness. Spoiler alert: It did not.
I found myself wanting more, so I’ve spent the past 16+ years creating the life I want. It involved:
Rebuilding my relationships with my wife and children.
Leaving my 9-5 job and launching my own business.
Recovering my health, wellness, and fitness.
Moving where I could enjoy more time outdoors.
Escaping the crowding and nightmare traffic of the Bay Area in California.
Becoming more intentional with how I live my life every day.
My wife and I focus on creating the most amazing life we can, for ourselves and our children, while helping others we care about do the same.
Every year gets better and better as we learn more about:
Who we really are, as individuals and as a couple.
What we want most in life, for ourselves and our children.
How to create strategies to achieve our goals.
How to find the path forward that will take us to the life we envision.
I want you to experience this too! Join today. I would love to help.
In this newsletter, I share with you what I’ve learned — and continue to learn. Life is a journey, and we all face new challenges every year. But you don’t have to do it alone!
Join me and let’s find the best path forward for you. I hope my advice will help you pursue the life of your dreams so you can be happier, healthier, and more fulfilled.

People who want more out of life
We are seeking kind and ambitious people who refuse to settle. People who have done the hard work, earned their life experience, and now want something more…
Personal growth
Empowerment
Connection
Meaning
Purpose
Health
Joy
A side-questing path isn’t always easy. Change never is! But none of us has to walk it alone.
Together, we support each other in reclaiming our health, deepening our relationships, redefining success, finding happiness, and creating freedom to live life on our own terms.
Each step forward is a building block. Each transformation and lesson, no matter how small, strengthens us all.
This isn’t just a community. It’s a movement. A movement to challenge traditional assumptions and embrace a more exciting, curiosity-driven life. We will escape the trap of how others have told us to work and live. We demand the life we choose to define.
Join the private community for more!
We have also created a private community to enable deeper discussions, daily conversations, sharing, feedback, support, and accountability. It is a place for good people to escape toxic social media, enjoy confidentiality, and spend more time with like-minded peers who get it.
We restrict access to this private community to keep out the trolls, cyberbullies, spammers, con artists, and toxic critics. We want everyone to feel safe and welcome, so we have strict rules about behavior that we won’t tolerate in the community.
