I had the pleasure of attending the first ‘Superhuman’ event in 2018, having been a fan of Tynan’s since 2010. I’m not sure if it was the blog , or Life Nomadic that I found first.

If you find value, like I do , in the insights and stories, perspectives and approach to life, reflected in his well written posts, that go far beyond the adventure, travel, minimalism, and good habits in the old website header tag line., you’ll definitely be glad you signed up for this year’s event.

In the afternoon on the first day of the 2018 event, I remember Tynan mentioned he felt his blog had, as far as he could tell, cultivated an audience that like-minded, and bound to bring together a wide array of uniquely fascinating people. This diversity was palpable the initial dinner— the same prelude to the event this year – where we all met for the first time. That evening offered an exceptional opportunity to connect with new people over a meal, setting a warm and inviting tone for the days that followed. Inspired by this, I’ve since incorporated a similar meet-and-greet dinner into a few events I’ve helped organize.

The event’s format remains as intimate and impactful as I remember. It’s a setting where each participant is encouraged to share their story, challenges, and achievements, fostering an environment of growth and learning. If that first event formatted itself naturally, without intention or plan, it didn’t seem that way. Tynan adeptly led the event, blending his insights and wisdom with the collective knowledge of those who had value to contribute, and was mindful to give everyone time and attention. It seems funny now, and remember adapting to his in-person presence took a moment, given my long-term familiarity with his writing persona, but it quickly felt like listening to an old friend.

I eagerly anticipate the group photo and Tynan’s reflective post that will capture the essence of this year’s gathering. As I write this and reminisce, I’d consider one of remaining seats myself if I had that weekend open.
