Become the Explorer You'd Follow
Somewhere in you is a version who doesn't flinch at the hard conversation, who starts the thing without a week of circling.
With Kip, you give them a name, a story and a passport. Then you step into them when a moment asks more of you than you feel you have, and you can talk with them when you need their kind of advice.

Kelly Redmond
Moves with intention through spacious terrain
Pronouns he / him
I am Kelly Redmond, moving with intention through spacious terrain, trusting that my unhurried pace and restorative spirit are the very foundation of my boldest explorations.
Matt's Explorer Identity.
One sitting with Kip
How One Comes Together
Kip asks what's ahead of you that you keep flinching at, and who you'd need to be to walk into it.
Three qualities you want to grow into. Kip offers a few, and you keep the ones that land.
Where they've been, how they move through hard country, and a Totem to carry.
Sit for their portrait at the camera, then sign the vow on their passport in your own words.
Then they're yours to step into: before the phone call, at the start of a Trek, for a whole Expedition. And when you'd like their view on something, you can sit down and talk with them, in their voice.
In their own words
Who Explorers Have Met
on the Explorer Identity she created
I was chatting with Kip about my Identity traits, and he did his little /me action, pulled out a compass to slowly turn, then dropped the UI to pick new traits right there in the chat. A well built experience.
Nick Schirmer
I was curious about what the identity area was for, and I like the prompts to get me thinking about which qualities I value. It's clarifying and self-revealing to consider my ideal traits. I like it! Matt, so far I LOVE this. It's playful, engaging, and imaginative while also providing a solid structure.

The portrait photos are awesome. The design is very immersive. It has gone a long way to making this whole thing FUN.

Questions About Identities
- Do I have to make one?
- No. An Identity is something you can add alongside yourself, whenever you like, or never, and everything else in the club works the same either way.
- Isn't this just pretending?
- A little, and that's the useful part. It's easier to walk into a hard conversation as someone who doesn't flinch at them than to wait until you stop flinching. You don't have to become them. You only borrow them for the moment that needs it.
- Can I have more than one?
- Yes. Hold as many as you like, and travel as the one the day in front of you needs.
