Hey There!

We are
Wandering Aimfully—

UN-boring business coaches 👨🏻‍🦲👩🏻‍🦰 who help online business owners like you earn more so you can live more.

We share free resources in the form of 📃 articles, 📜 guides, 🎬 YouTube videos, and 🎙 podcast episodes. We offer a 🦄 monthly coaching program (that's un-boring) called WAIM Unlimited that includes COURSES, SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, WORKSHOPS, and a thriving Slack COMMUNITY.

WHO RUNS THIS SHIP? 🚢
Glad you asked. That would be us— Jason 👨🏻‍🦲 and Caroline 👩🏻‍🦰 Zook!
Very nice to virtually meet you! Here’s a quick silly video from us so you can decide if we’re cool enough to be your friends. (Spoiler alert: we’re not…but we hope you decide to hang around anyway!)

We believe…

...in working to LIVE, not living to work.
...in rejecting the norm and carving our own paths.
...embracing your uniqueness is the key to running an authentic business.
...we are better together and helping each other will allow us all to succeed.

If this lines up with what you believe too, keep reading!

Our Story

Hello again! It's us, Jason and Caroline.

We’re creative business owners 🤓, best friends 👫, and oh yeah, as of March 2017, we’re also married or whatever 🥂.

Since we got together in 2010, we’ve made things in a slew of different ways, both together and apart. Caroline was first employed by Jason’s crazy t-shirt marketing company, getting her first taste of work-from-home-life (AKA: wearing a robe to work). After that we had separate businesses for a few years. Caroline created Made Vibrant, which started off as a client business doing brand design and transitioned into a digital product business. Jason got even weirder by selling his last name, writing a fully-sponsored book, and then selling his future. We’ve also built software products and sold physical goods.

Between the two of us, we've just about done 👏 it 👏 all 👏.

Now we’ve teamed up again to create Wandering Aimfully, an un-boring coach program that embodies what we hope to bring to the world. We want to encourage more people to create meaningful work they love, earn a good living doing it, and live a life that feels successful on THEIR terms, not the terms laid out by society.

Through every twist and turn though, the thing that has stayed constant is our desire to evolve our businesses to fit our personal values, rather than compromise our values to chase “success” with our businesses.

Our Core Values

If these things resonate with you, you’re definitely in the right place!

TRANSPARENCY

Most business owners only want to show you perfect moments. Not us. We share the good, the bad, the ugly.

AUTHENTICITY

We’ve gotten where we are by being 100% ourselves and we feel the best when we lean into who WE are.

HUMOR

There were two peanuts walking down a dark alley, one was assaulted. (Get it?? Nut puns!)

POSITIVITY

We don’t play the negativity game around here and sure, life isn’t easy, but we love focusing on the good stuff.

ORIGINALITY

The way we measure success is by putting our original ideas out into the world and standing by them.

INTENTION

This is the “aimfully” part of what we do and we’re pretty serious about doing the things that really matter to us.

CURIOSITY

We looooove trying new things, having new experiences, and stretching our comfort zones.

ACTION

A bias toward getting things done is in our DNA and crossing off to-do lists makes our hearts happy.

SPINDRIFT

Former fans of LaCroix, our fizzy water of choice is Spindrift. Same as Kristen Bell. So… besties??

DONUTS

You can’t live a good life if you aren’t eating delicious vegan donuts. ALL THE DONUTS PLEASE.

Some things you might find interesting about us…

🗺 Travel
We’re strong believers in having unique experiences and seeing different parts of this big world! However… we’re not backpacking, hostel-staying travelers. We love a great boutique hotel, with comfy robes, and lots of locally-sourced food. Oh, also, we currently live in Portugal 🇵🇹.
✨ Minimalism
In 2013 we discovered minimalism and it changed our lives forever. We emptied our closets and eventually sold all our belongings and moved on from a former life/place that wasn’t serving us. Being a minimalist doesn’t mean you own only one chair, it’s about only owning things that truly bring you value.
😬 Balance

We aren’t going to pretend we have the perfect work/life balance. In fact, we call it work/life blend. However, we’ve spent years figuring out how to have our work fit into the lives we want to live (not the other way around). Also, Jason somehow has better balance at 6’4 than Caroline. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️

🐶 Plaxico
October 6, 2006 - March 6, 2020 🥺🌈🐶. Our 'Staffy' Plaxico brought us so many amazing memories during his 13.5 years of life. He snuggled with us during meetings on the couch and often let us know when we were working too late and needed to take a break to give him scratches and love. He will be missed terribly but was SUCH A GOOD BOY!

Things we've made 🛠...

Below you’ll find a list of nearly every project we’ve worked on during our time as entrepreneurs. We chose to share Active, Past, and Failed projects because it would have been easy to just show the highlight reel of successes, but that’s not the full and true story. With exception to a few projects, everything we’ve created is exclusively available in our Wandering Aimfully Unlimited program.

BuyMyFuture/BuyOurFuture
Jason sold access to his future in 2015 and 2016, then Jason and Caroline sold their combine future in 2017 and 2018. This project morphed into the Wandering Aimfully Membership and had the same awesome value.
Sleeping With The Boss Podcast
What’s it like to be in a relationship when you work for your spouse? What happens when you have to fire your spouse? How do you work and live together? Those questions were answers in a short podcast we hosted in 2015.
Dear Book Publisher
Not willing to do anything by the books (hey, get it!?), Jason created an open letter to traditional book publishers and agents in hopes of landing a deal for his second book. And guess what? It worked!
JasonDoesStuff
Jason’s digital man-cave from 2013 - 2018. Hundreds of articles written, countless projects created, and one easy to remember domain. Jason still does a lot of stuff, it just now lives here at Wandering Aimfully.
Made Vibrant
Caroline’s virtual home from 2013 - 2018. Following her heart, she created a community of soulful creatives that she helped with her art, her writing, and her experiences. Made Vibrant still exists as an editorial arm of Wandering Aimfully.
🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♂️ Failed Projects!
Spruce Metrics
We gave Spruce a REALLY strong try but just couldn't get the app and partnership to work. Maybe in the future something like Spruce will come back around? For now, it's a failed project.
1MillionShirts
In 2010 Jason set out to make a difference with a lofty goal of getting 1,000,000 t-shirts donated that could be given to people in need around the world. Unfortunately, Jason didn’t know anything about NGOs and shut this down.
Only Human
Jason’s very first “startup.” Co-created with his design partner Dennis Eusebio in 2006, Only Human was a place to share stories and lessons learned from those stories. It didn’t take off, but it generated a ton of design clients for them.
Saddles for Corgis
This is a fictitious project that Jason has joked about on his /now page for years. Wouldn’t it be fun to see corgis wearing little saddles!? Jason thought so too! But truthfully, this business won’t ever exist… or will it??
Unicorn.pizza
The idea was to create an online store that ONLY sold unicorn or pizza themed products. That’s it. What, you’re surprised this project is in the failed section? Well, that’s just mean of you.
Dawn App
Do you remember the Sunrise calendar app? Jason adored it and when it shut down he was sad. He cobbled a team together to build a similar calendar app, but couldn’t get early customer support so the project was tabled. #RIPsunrise
T-shirts For Entrepreneurs
Caroline put her hand-lettering talents to work creating t-shirts that would be motivating and inspiring for entrepreneurs. We ran this little online t-shirt store for a year before realizing how low the margins are on t-shirts. Oh well!
