Sometimes the best way to create the resources you need is to build the company that will publish them.
I have an announcement that’s been months in the making, and I’m absolutely thrilled to finally share it with you.
Bright Wings Press is officially live.

For those who know me, this might seem like a natural evolution. For newcomers, let me explain why a Soul Mechanic decided to become a publisher – and why this matters for anyone trying to navigate life’s challenging terrain.
The Story Behind the Press
Over the past few months, I’ve been doing what I like to call “productive hermiting” – disappearing from regular communication to focus intensely on building something substantial. While some of you might have noticed my quieter presence, I’ve been laying the groundwork for something I’ve envisioned for decades: the missing piece of the foundations I’ve been building since 1999.
When I founded Bright Wings, Inc. 25 years ago as an empowerment company to serve people who are up to something good, I knew we were working toward something comprehensive. The company has evolved greatly since then, as have I. But the books and resources I needed to create didn’t fit neatly into traditional publishing categories. They weren’t quite self-help, not exactly spiritual guidance, and definitely more practical than academic. They were something entirely different: soul navigation manuals.
So I did what any determined Soul Mechanic would do when the existing systems don’t serve the vision: I built my own publishing house.
What Bright Wings Press Represents
Bright Wings Press isn’t just another publishing house. It’s the newest division of Bright Wings, Inc., and represents the missing piece of foundations I’ve been building for 25 years. Our mission remains rooted in our original vision: to serve people who are up to something good by helping them understand that their minds are their superpowers.
The name “Bright Wings” has always been about the idea that we are all smarter than we think. When we understand that our minds are our superpowers, we have the power to soar to unimaginable heights. We’re redefining power at both personal and collective levels, learning how to create the kind of world no one needs to recover from.
The Press extends this mission by publishing practical resources that help people take the wheel of their lives before they go over the cliff. For now, we’re focusing exclusively on works generated in-house – resources that align perfectly with our comprehensive approach to conscious navigation. Once the major pieces of our planned ecosystem are in place, we may consider adding other authors’ work.
The Ecosystem Vision
Bright Wings Press is one part of a larger ecosystem that’s been decades in the making. While I can’t reveal everything today (this week is full of announcements!), I can tell you that we’re building:
- A complete library of navigation resources covering every aspect of conscious living
- Practical workshops and maintenance programs for ongoing skill development
- Community platforms and learning academies where navigation mastery can be developed and shared
- Assessment and diagnostic systems that help customize everything to your unique operating style
- Support networks and specialized programs for different aspects of personal and collective transformation
Each piece works with the others to create something unprecedented: a comprehensive support system for people who want to live authentically, navigate consciously, and contribute to creating the kind of world no one needs to recover from.
What This Means for You
If you’ve ever felt like you’re driving your life on autopilot, if you’ve noticed yourself approaching the same edges repeatedly, if you’re tired of making decisions that take you further from what you actually want – Bright Wings Press is being built with you in mind.
We’re not interested in one-size-fits-all solutions or generic advice. We’re creating resources that help you understand your unique navigation style and work with your authentic design rather than against it.
Coming This Week
This announcement is just the beginning of an exciting week of reveals. Over the next few days, you’ll discover:
- Tomorrow (July 2): The first book from Bright Wings Press and why we’re releasing it in two different versions
- July 3: A comprehensive free resource that gives you immediate access to soul navigation tools
- July 4: The complete ecosystem vision and how you can be part of shaping what comes next
Each announcement builds on the others, revealing pieces of a larger puzzle that I’m finally ready to share with the world.
Why Now?
After 25 years of building Bright Wings, Inc. and working with people one-on-one, watching the same patterns repeat across different lives, I realized we needed scalable solutions. We needed resources that could help people before they reached crisis points. We needed an entirely new approach to conscious navigation.
Bright Wings Press isn’t just my answer to that emerging need – it’s the missing piece that gives me a solid foundation to build from, expand, and evolve everything we’ve been working toward for decades.
Join the Journey
Whether you’re new to the concept of soul navigation or you’ve been working with these ideas for years, Bright Wings Press is designed to meet you where you are and help you develop the skills you need for whatever comes next.
This week’s announcements will give you multiple ways to engage with what we’re building. But today, I simply want to share the excitement of this launch and invite you to stay connected as we reveal what months of focused work have created.
The foundations are solid. The vision is clear. And the first resources are ready to share.
Welcome to Bright Wings Press. Welcome to a new approach to conscious navigation.
