Hey, I'm Derek—Head of Editorial.

I started Unobstructed after 15+ years in marketing, software systems, outdoor education, and leadership development. It's a built-in-public, multi-media platform.

What we publish aims to reveal things, not prescribe them. Said differently—we purposefully leave room for interpretation here.

Sometimes, a different way of seeing things is all it takes to get unstuck. That's our goal. We believe big ideas and small steps can create clarity and help reframe the stories people tell themselves.
