You’ve earned the recognition.

You’ve checked every milestone and met every goal. You’ve also built a remarkable life and career. But, something still feels…off. Maybe even…empty.

You find yourself in a fog you can’t quite figure out. Where uncertainty clouds your judgment because you’re stuck and unsure of what to do.

Happiness and excitement feel unfamiliar. You don’t recognize yourself anymore. Then comes the moment you realize who you are is defined by what you do.


I call this The Gray.


Nearly every high-achiever loses themselves here. The voice of self-doubt is loud and loneliness is your companion. It’s when you ask yourself,


“Is this the rest of my life?”


It doesn’t have to be.


Welcome to 23Thirty.

The place for multi-gifted creatives and founders who are ready to create what comes next and to move forward with intention, not urgency. Our work is rooted in growth, agency, and personal truth.

I invite you to keep reading.
No matter where you land,
I’ll meet you there.

Let Me Introduce Myself.

I’m Marq, and I guide multi-gifted creatives and founders through The Gray to create the next chapter of their lives.

You’ve built a remarkable life and career. But now, you find yourself in a place of endless questions, doubt, and uncertainty. On the outside, everyone thinks you’re “living the life”. Your inner voice says otherwise.

I know how disorienting it can feel to stand there alone. I’ve navigated creative industry, academia, reinvention, and the weight of asking myself, “Is this it? Is this the rest of my life?”

My role isn’t to tell you who to become. It’s to help you define your own next steps, listen to your Self more clearly, and create a path aligned with who you are and what fulfills you.

  • "I’m beyond grateful to have crossed paths with him. I was able to get more granular and identify a much more specific target audience. Marq’s thoughtfulness, wisdom, humor, reframing, and ability to help me see from another perspective were outstanding."

    —Allie Johnson, Co-Founder & Career Coach, Command the Room Coaching

  • "Marq is the epitome of the magic that happens when expert knowledge, empathy, and real talk all merge. His personable demeanor and grounded approach built trust between us. I didn’t feel like a client in a pipeline but instead as a peer with a mentor walking alongside me, not in front of me."

    —Laneen Wells, Founder & Creative Strategist, Sublation Studio

If commitment feels heavy at this time.

If a coaching commitment feels too heavy or the path ahead feels unclear at this moment, let’s begin with the Keep Sailing podcast or The Mountain Top newsletter.

Keep Sailing is words of encouragement podcast. Each episode is crafted to accompany you on your 15-minute walk, drive, commute, or chore, and to offer words of support for the heart and soul. This podcast is for anyone, but especially for multi-gifted creatives, leaders, and high-achievers who want to feel less alone. Let's keep sailing and let's see where we go.

The Mountain Top newsletter is for multi-gifted creatives and leaders navigating plateaus, pivots, and the quiet question of “What now?”. Every high achiever knows what it's like to experience successes and setbacks. Just like therapists have therapists and coaches have coaches, you should have someone who understands and supports you. Let’s climb, together.

Keep Sailing and The Mountain Top are offered freely to provide support, perspective, and reflection.
