I’m Dave Cook, the Yorkshire Cowboy - author, coach, and creator of ecosystems that help people and ideas grow.

Everything I build - from businesses and communities to books and philosophies - is designed to unlock
human potential through creativity, community, and courage.

Building a Better Future

One Human at a Time

My Core Belief

Growth doesn’t happen by accident.
It happens when we have the **courage** to take action, the **creativity** to imagine a better way, and the **community** to make it real.
That’s the energy behind every world I build.

The Worlds I’m Building

Each venture I create explores a different dimension of human potential, from learning and leadership to creativity, community, and culture.

Together, they form one ecosystem: Ascend, a world where people and ideas can truly thrive.
