Travis Cournoyer almost quit in graduate school. The weight of it all broke him down, and he was ready to walk away. Then he asked one stupid question. It was messy, awkward, and small, but it kept him moving. That question changed everything. It gave him the courage to stumble forward and keep asking, and somehow those questions carried him through an education, career, and parenting journey he never thought he'd walk.
Travis holds a PhD in chemistry, but he often forgets about that credential behind the raw, human work of asking scary questions when staying quiet feels safer. His writing carries the kind of awkward humor that makes Brené Brown's stories so relatable, the clear-eyed practicality you're likely to see from Adam Grant, and the deep reflection Eckhart Tolle is known for. The result is a conversation full of surprising turns, laugh-out-loud moments sure to make you smile, and tearful reminders that the questions we try so hard to swallow may very well be the ones most able to light our way forward.
