"Not everyone will understand your journey. That's fine. It's not their journey to make sense of. It's yours." - Zero Dean
In 2009, Zero Dean quit his job as a 3D computer graphics artist working for a well-known computer gaming company. Two days later, he terminated his lease and began selling everything that wouldn't fit in his car. This was only the beginning. Nine months later, he began a multi-faceted project incorporating five of the things he was most passionate about: Writing, photography, travel, adventure, and connecting with people.
This project, eventually termed "ZDXP", would lead him to become the protagonist in a real-life choose-your-own-adventure where the internet would tell him where to go and what to do when he got there. Zero spent nearly 2 years crisscrossing the United States on an epic road trip covering over 60,000 miles.
Although living beyond comfort zone was a planned part of his project, it was supposed to be fun. And some of it was. But it was also far more challenging than he ever expected in ways he could never have anticipated. It changed his life, his relationships, and his view of the world. In short, it changed everything.
When his cross-country travels finally came to an end, his journey along the path less traveled continued. It is from this journey that he uses real-life experiences as a foundation for learning and sharing life's lessons.
Zero's first book, Lessons Learned from The Path Less Traveled Volume 1: Get motivated & overcome obstacles with courage, confidence & self-discipline, was published on December 12, 2018.
