For late bloomers and chaotic dreamers ready for what’s next
but unsure how to start – let's figure it out together
Hi, I’m Kel 👋🏻
Welcome to 2025! I’m so glad you’re here.
If you’re new (or just want a refresher), here’s a little about me:
I’m a mid-40s xennial who spent over 20 years living and working in NYC. An art school dropout turned late-blooming founder, I came out as gay at 34 and started my first company at 38. That company became Lex, a social app I built from the ground up and scaled to success. Now acquired, Lex taught me how to grow something meaningful from nothing.
Now, I’m embracing a new phase of life: quieter, more personal, and deeply creative. Work Unseen is where I share the messy, unfiltered process of building a meaningful life after 40—and together, we figure out what’s next.
What You Can Expect This Year
Here’s what I’m excited to bring to Work Unseen in 2025:
2x Weekly Posts: Deep dives into creative experiments, career pivots, and personal growth (one free, one for paid subscribers).
Tools and Rituals: Practical ideas to help you navigate your own transitions.
Community Connection: More ways to engage, share stories, and support one another.
This year, I’m also experimenting with:
Interviews with inspiring people navigating bold transitions.
Cross-collaborations with other creators to bring fresh perspectives.
Building an online community (Slack or Discord) to share space together.
Group workshops and 1:1 time working with me.
(Future) real-world meetups to connect in person.
This is a place to feel less alone in the blunders, breakdowns, and breakthroughs of mid-life and mid-career. You’ll find clarity, direction, and the courage to take bold steps forward as we navigate transitions and experiment with new ideas.
Are You 35+ and Stuck?
My story isn’t tidy—it’s a beautiful pile of experiences that link together to form my present. I’m starting fresh after 40, figuring out what’s next, and building something new from scratch.
If you’ve ever felt:
Stuck,
Overwhelmed, or
Wildly optimistic despite it all,
This is the space for us to connect and grow.
Sometimes, it’s the excitement of restarting a hobby after decades (hello, skiing). Other times, it’s reflecting on the messy work of tackling the unknown or rediscovering your identity after a later-in-life breakup.
Think of that electric energy of a first date with someone you’ve had a crush on for months (and it’s clicking) or the early days of a new friendship—when everything feels exciting, playful, and full of potential.
That’s the tone I’m going for: curious, energized, and a little daring.
What If You Could Reimagine Your Life?
What if you could reimagine your life and work—and do it alongside a community of bold, curious thinkers?
Work Unseen is a space for late bloomers and unconventional thinkers to explore what’s next and connect with others doing the same.
The Future is Unseen
When I launched Lex, its early users changed my life as much as Lex changed theirs—whether they met a life partner, a bandmate, or their closest friends.
Now, I’m entering a new phase of life, and I want to bring you along for the ride. Together, we can play, build, and find our people.
Maybe we’ll:
Make a movie 🎥,
Create an album 🎶, or
Turn our lives into art 🎨.
Whatever we create, it will be bold, authentic, and deeply ours.
Let’s build, play, and discover together in 2025. Comment, like, or share this with someone who’s ready for what’s next!
