The Summit Trail — a recurring series exploring creative entrepreneurship, storytelling, and calling.
The Ascent Begins: Why the Journey Still Matters
Every generation believes they’re standing at the peak of innovation — that the hard climbs are behind us. But if we’ve learned anything, it’s this: there’s always another summit ahead. Especially in creative entrepreneurship.
In an age where shortcuts are everywhere, where AI can answer your questions (like this one), and where convenience is king, the slow, steady climb toward mastery and meaning still matters. Not because the trail is easy, but because it’s worth walking.
The Summit & The Scroll
The name Summit & Scroll is intentional.
- The Summit represents the constant upward pursuit — whether you’re building a business, crafting a story, launching a product, or pursuing personal growth.
- The Scroll represents the knowledge, wisdom, and tools we gather along the way — the maps, journals, and guides that help light the trail. Scrolls have no end; you can always add more onto them.
This space is for those who are climbing. The adventurers. The builders. The ones willing to lace up and take another step even when the peak is hidden by clouds.
Why This Blog Exists
I started Summit & Scroll for creators who understand that both the ascent and the knowledge we gather matter. Here, we’ll explore:
- Building businesses with purpose
- Storytelling for games, worlds, and brands
- 3D printing and creative design
- Lessons from entrepreneurship
- The balance of faith, calling, and creativity
- And of course, plenty of practical trail maps along the way
The Journey Ahead
You won’t find quick hacks here. This isn’t the elevator — it’s the mountain trail.
The view from the top only means something if you climbed to see it.
Let’s begin.
