Jayson Gaddis Relational Leadership. Human Connection. Real Impact.
I’m a husband. A father. A mountain biker and avid outdoorsman. A human behavior nerd. I love studying people.
When I was searching for meaning in my 20’s, I tried a lot of things. I worked in a corporate setting as a leadership consultant and eventually bailed on that to hitch-hike through Alaska and Central America for months. I soloed Half Dome with no ropes, abused drugs and alcohol, lived out of my car, coached kids’ ski racing, worked as a wilderness guide with troubled teens, and failed miserably at relationships.
23 years ago, I got very serious about my personal growth and cleaned up my relationship life. I went to graduate school, got a master’s degree in psychology, worked as a mental health crisis worker, family therapist, did countless trainings and began the first real, adult romantic relationship with my now wife.
Through all of this, I had an entrepreneurial spirit which allowed me to start several businesses. Some failed. The one that took off and helped over 100,000 people was me founding an online school dedicated to relationship education.
But my greatest masterpiece is co-created: a grounded and fulfilling marriage of 18 years while raising 2 incredible kids in the mountains of Colorado.
I study how you interact and what creates flow, depth, and connection between you and the people you care most about.
