By deeply understanding WWDWWD 'Why We Do What We Do' and how we're vulnerable to being gamed, fresh insights will renew your resolve and confidence in solving tough challenges. I created Scotomaville to guide participants with tangible tools that lead to healing through understanding. I hope your curiosity and ambition match this unique opportunity to heal, and guide others to commit to their Personal Everest.<img src="https://syn.scotomaville.com/Portals/0/[BannerPath]" width="1" height="1"></p></div><div class="col-sm-2" style="max-width:200px;"><div class="portfolio-list"><div class="portfolio-item thumb-info thumb-info-no-borders thumb-info-centered-info mt-lg"><a href="#onusprobandi"><div class="thumb-info"><div class="thumb-info-box"><img alt="" src="https://scotomaville.com/Portals/0/images/admin/badges/Su-bjective.png" class="img-fluid" /><div class="thumb-info-content"><div class="thumb-description"><h6 class="thumb-info-name"> <span class="thumb-info-inner" style="font-size:0.8em;"> onus probandi </span> <span class="thumb-info-type">Su-bjective</span> </h6></div><span class="thumb-info-action-icon"> <em class="fa fa-link"></em> </span></div></div></div></a></div></div></div></div> <!--SOCIAL SHARE KIT --> <div class="row"><div class="col-md-12 mt-lg" style="float:right;"><div class="heading heading-border heading-middle-border heading-middle-border-reverse"><!--SOCIAL SHARE BUTTONS --><div class="ssk-group ssk-sm ssk-grayscale"><a href="" class="ssk ssk-email ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-facebook ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-linkedin ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-pinterest ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-reddit ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-tumblr ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-twitter ssk-round"></a><a class="h6" style="color:#CCCCCC;font-size:10px;">SHARE</a></div></div></div></div> <!--MAIN ARTICLE BODY BEGINS--> <div><div class="heading heading-primary heading-border heading-bottom-border"> <h2>DEFINE <strong>BASE CAMP</strong></h2> </div> <p>A BASE CAMP is a staging area used by mountaineers to prepare for an expedition. It provides supplies, shelter, and communications for persons engaged in supporting an expedition (a journey with a purpose). We have a mobile base camp, a 30' Airstream Globetrotter. The video series was shot across the US using the Airstream, and the challenges of the Pandemic.</p> <div style="height:20px;"> </div> <div class="heading heading-primary heading-border heading-bottom-border"> <h2>DEFINE <strong>SUMMIT</strong></h2> </div> <p>A SUMMIT is a gathering of people who care deeply about the same topic, or a meeting between people interested in reaching the peak of a mountain. Scotomaville is a guide for such a summit - a 'Personal Everest' of maturity and transformation. We have on-location summits to be scheduled for 2023 across the US, and several 'retreat-like' 3-day 5-night summits for Veteran Service Providers with outdoor challenges in the Columbia River Gorge, Post Canyon, or on Mount Hood.</p> <div style="height:20px;"> </div> <div class="col"> <div class="row" class="mt-lg mb-lg"><img alt="" loading="lazy" class="img-fluid" src="https://syn.scotomaville.com/Portals/0/images/articles/daniel-comp-Scotomaville-expeditions-1080-600.webp" title="Scotomaville Base Camp for Expeditions of Volume 3" /> </div> </div> <div style="height:20px;"> </div> <div class="heading heading-primary heading-border heading-bottom-border"> <h2>DEFINE <strong>PARTICIPANT</strong></h2> </div> <p>Designed for Enterprising men and Veteran Leadership, Daniel Comp, the author/curator of Scotomaville facilitates each summit and works closely with each participant with presentations, interactive exercises and small group discussions. Participants are Veteran Service Providers, Wounded Warriors, Small Business Owners, and Enterprising Couples, especially Aspergians.</p> <p>I am guiding expeditions for like-minded eccentrics to "follow in the way I began" (Blaise Pascal). Explorers become aware of blind-spots and recognize how modern life games our psychology and physiology. This shift in awareness and pivot of faulty mindsets can turn obstacles into opportunities, transforming the life we were handed into outcomes we design.</p> <div style="height:20px;"> </div> <div class="col"> <div class="row" class="mt-lg mb-lg"><img alt="" loading="lazy" class="img-fluid" src="https://syn.scotomaville.com/Portals/0/images/articles/daniel-comp-Scotomaville-author-1080-600.webp" title="Scotomaville Base Camp for Expeditions of Volume 3" /> </div> </div> <p>You can paint an interesting character with the evidence of my life. I am a curious explorer, an ambitious entrepreneur, a functional Aspergian, a military Veteran, a Christian storyteller, and hopefully a noble father. Despite numerous achievements, I didn't understand why I did what I did (widwid), and I imagined it to be why I was so easily duped, hoodwinked, and bamboozled.</p> <p>Across numerous expeditions, I video-journaled to understand my drive to achieve, and the constant frustration, and accompanying triggers, and occasional outbursts. The outcome of my journey with a purpose - a 'Personal Everest' as I call it - was discovering that self-reflection video modeling is an effective method for transformation. For this reason, I created the Scotomaville program as a second edition 336-page full-color workbook, a 48-episode video series, and an ongoing online support platform for others to champion their Personal Everest.</p> <blockquote> <p><span style="color:#990000;"><em>"The Greatest Expedition you will ever undertake is the journey to self-understanding, for the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes." I challenge you to take up the adventure of getting out of Scotomaville."</em></span></p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Daniel Comp</strong></p> <section class="section section-default section-default-scale-7"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> <div style="height:2px;"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <div class="center" style="margin-bottom:6px;"> <p style="font-size: 0.8em">- scotomaville authors as seen in/on -</p> </div> <div class="owl-carousel" data-plugin-options="{'items': 5, 'autoplay': true, 'autoplayTimeout': 3000, 'nav': false, 'dots': false}"> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-02s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-03s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-04s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-05s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-06s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-07s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-08s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-09s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-10s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-11s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-12s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-13s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-14s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-15s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-16s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-17s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-18s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-19s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-20s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-21s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-22s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-23s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-24s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-25s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-26s.jpg" /></div> <div><img loading="lazy" alt="" class="img-fluid" src="https://core.scotomaville.com/portals/0/images/content/logos/logo-27s.jpg" /></div> </div> <div class="mt-xlg mb-xlg" style="background-color:#222221;padding:clamp(20px, 20vmin, 50px);"> <div> <h3 style="font-size: 4vw; margin-bottom: max(0px, 0.05%);text-align: center;"><span style="color:#FEAF27;">U.S.A. leaving</span></h3> <h1 style="font-size: 11vw; margin-top: max(0px, 0.05%); letter-spacing: -0.0625em; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #777777;">SCOTOMAVILLE</span></h1> </div> </div> <div class="heading heading-border heading-middle-border"> <h3>Why Daniel Comp Authored <strong>SCOTOMAVILLE</strong></h3> </div> <div class="col"> <h6>Why did I go through so much effort to create and curate SCOTOMAVILLE?

Ask Open.ai to write an essay about your life and enterprise, and you likely be amused, entertained, and have your neurotransmitters like dopamine and oxytocin stimulated. GPT Chat, Pi and the algorithms they work hand-in-hand with want to know your whereabouts, your interests, your aim, and your abilities better than you do - because then they can recommend your next purchase, your next move, your next relationship, your next movie - whatever it is. And, those that can predict better than you win the game. It's a full-out competition to 'know thyself'.
