Travis McMullen

Hi, I’m Travis.

I write about life – fatherhood, ancient wisdom, and everything in between

I send essays about life and the lessons within. I think about how we can apply ancient wisdom and am a host of the Brisbane Stoics. Amongst other things, velociraptors are the coolest dinosaurs around, and I’m a big fan of anime.
