Here is a mix of goals and bucket list items for me, Sean Callanan. I’ll update this every now and then, big thanks to all who helped me cross off items. I don’t usually share my goals publicly, but I thought this impossible list idea sits best on my site as it is a mix of things I want to do as well as a living document of what I have done. It isn’t absolutely comprehensive of my 40+ years but you should get a fair idea of where I am headed.
