Most likely, you've read the "Manifesto." If not, take the time to read it. That'll explain part of what you want to know.
You're here because we exist to find the people who refuse to disappear—and give them a place to be loud about it. This is it. This is the landing.
The name, by the way, came from the title of a book, The Renegade Writer. You'll read the full story here later, but it's a book that laid out a similar plan for writers. As I read it, I realized that they weren't writing to me—they were describing me.
The renegades have always existed. They just never had a zip code.
So you might be wondering why there's nothing for sale on this site. We're not ready. Everything that's ever going to be for sale here has to be vetted thoroughly before it ever arrives. By that definition, don't look for merch galore or a sea of products. We are a pull site, not a push site. You won't find funnels here, nor will you ever see a hard sell.
One more thing you won't find here: anyone telling you that decline is your destiny. You've been getting that message from every direction for years—dressed up as health advice, wellness culture, and friendly advice from people who don't have a clue. We noticed. We're not that.
We do plan to host some extraordinary adventures—starting with intimate getaways in regional locations. The larger ones will come when the world cooperates. Meanwhile, our people may take the reins and plan dinners or other events in their own locations.
If you want to know what's happening, the weekly newsletter is where it all happens. That's it. That's our only ask.
We were free-range kids. We are free-range retirees.
