SEAN TINER

Over the past few years, life has become fuller, louder, and more meaningful than I ever imagined. Between work, raising three young kids, navigating the nonstop pace of life, and trying to stay present through it all, I started realizing how quickly these seasons pass by. That realization ultimately led me to write Never Stop Chasing Rainbows . The book was inspired by my paternity leave experience as a dad of three and the memories our family created during that chapter of life — especially a meaningful trip to Kauai that gave us time to slow down, reconnect, and simply be together. What started as journal entries and reflections gradually turned into something bigger: a reminder that success is important, but presence matters too.

The older I get, the more I realize these are the moments that matter most.

There’s something about camping near the ocean that slows everything down. This past weekend, I took my older kids camping at Crystal Cove State Park — just a few minutes from our backyard, yet it felt worlds away from the pace of everyday life. No packed schedule. No major plans. Just sunsets, bikes, dirt paths, campfire, and time together. As life gets busier — work, calendars, responsibilities, notifications — I’ve realized more and more that some of the most meaningful moments are often the simplest ones. This trip was a reminder that “home” isn’t always tied to four walls. Sometimes it’s a campsite overlooking the ocean, a sunset bike ride, or hearing your kids laugh while exploring somewhere new. Those are the moments that stick with you. And honestly, they go by fast.
