If you’re looking to pursue a path of self-exploration, the following individuals are amazing coaches and teachers from the Rad community. Whether you’re stuck professionally, trying to quiet that inner voice, or looking for deeper meaning, I encourage an exploratory conversation with any of these coaches. (Editor’s Note: In an attempt to live its values, the Rad.family website, rather than receiving a fee for arranging a coaching-coachee relationship, invited the coaches below to take part in an alternative economic arrangement: a gift economy.  For more info. on this arrangement, please read our sponsorship disclosure statement for more info.)

Andrew Taggart

Andrew is a practical philosopher. He asks and seeks to answer the most basic questions of human existence with others around the world. In 2009, he finished a Ph.D., left the academic life, and moved to New York City because he thought the most fundamental question of how to live needed to be brought back into our everyday lives. In its very being, philosophy is a pursuit whose ultimate aim is to help us to lead the most excellent human lives we can: considered, aware, vibrantly alive. Each day he speaks via Skype with business executives and tech entrepreneurs throughout the US, Canada, and Europe about the nature of a good life. Since 2013, he’s been a seasonal nomad; he and his wife are currently exploring the American Southwest.
