Your guide along the way

I am a successful entrepreneur, yet for years I carried an inner sense of stress and failure. Now I’m ready to support you with practical ways to find greater ease in your own entrepreneurial journey.

I am Stephen Tracy, and I will be your facilitator and guide in this course and community. I am deeply passionate about supporting entrepreneurs in becoming more self-aware so they can consciously experience a deeper sense of ease, resourcefulness, and inner success.

My curiosity began at Cambridge University where I specialized in Cognitive Neuroscience—a fancy way of saying the study of how the brain works. I was immediately struck by the unconscious influence the mind has on our daily lives.

My early career took me into the corporate world until a powerful inner knowing led me to a more entrepreneurial path. I spent the next eight years building Keap Candles — a purpose-driven candle company prioritizing connection. This journey deepened my desire to understand myself, and toward my current mission to coach entrepreneurs toward deeper success via self-awareness

I bring all my varied knowledge and experience to bear on this course and to create a space for your inner curiosity and understanding to flourish.

  • “Juggling fatherhood and a complex career moment, he helped me find inner clarity. I found more purpose and a deeper sense of confidence. He offers a rare mix of compassion and insight.”

    Philip Donaldson, Global Executive Director, Estée Lauder Companies

  • “I wholeheartedly recommend working with Stephen. He is both wise and strategic and has a heart as big as a mountain.”

    DC Cymbalista, Principal, The Downing Street Group

  • “I felt absolute trust working together. We were able to explore ideas and plans that had previously felt unattainable, opening up new paths ahead for me.”

    Guy St. Amant, Society of Fellows Scholar at Princeton University

  • “He blends intelligence with intuition, and has the gentle ability to help to help me shift the way I see a situation. These changes in perspective have often opened up entirely new solutions for me.”

    Harry Doull, CEO and Founder, Keap Candles

  • “Stephen brings more spaciousness to the situations bringing me stress. Rather than giving advice, he helps me find the right answer to complex situations.”

    Mark Campbell, Pulitzer-prize Winning Librettist
