Vital human portrait - real, contemporary, mostly 50+, confident and alive

Growing older
doesn't have to mean
growing smaller.

Best Exit Ever exists for people who suspect there may still be a ridiculous amount of life left to live.

Not withdrawing from life.

Engaging more deeply with it.

Not consuming the remaining years.

Creating them.

Not preserving who you've been.

Discovering who you're becoming.

Not waiting for someday.

Living now.

Curiosity over comfort.

Curiosity keeps life open.

Creation over consumption.

Creation means participating rather than merely consuming what's left.

Play over routine.

Play returns experimentation, laughter and surprise to life.

Possibility over predictability.

Possibility challenges the assumptions that quietly make the future smaller.

We're interested in the things that make a life feel alive:

  • connection
  • freedom
  • adventure
  • health
  • curiosity
  • purpose
  • laughter
  • contribution
  • learning
  • creativity
  • love
  • play
  • meaning
  • courage
  • presence
  • the occasional terrible idea that becomes a very good story

Everything
a fuck yes.

Not reckless yes.

Not performative yes.

Not saying yes to everything.

The kind of yes that comes when your choices genuinely align with who you are, what matters, and the life you want to create.

Don't send me flowers when I'm dead. If you like me, send them while I'm alive.

- Brian Clough

Where B.E.E. came from

B.E.E. grew out of the Fubar Community - a wider community interested in elevating life through the way we live, work, create and contribute.

B.E.E. carries that same DNA into the question: what might the next chapter of a human life become if we stopped assuming it should get smaller?

Meet the BEEkeepers

We're in this too.

BEEkeepers aren't gurus standing at the finish line. We're people experimenting, questioning, creating and becoming alongside everyone else. We help tend the Hive, host experiences, welcome new members, connect people and keep things moving.
  • Anurag, BEEkeeper

    Anurag

    BEEkeeper / Chief Goof- works alongside the BEEkeepers

    After being found as an infant by wild shrimp he was raised as one of their own until they realized it was time for him to rejoin humanity. Preparing him as best they could, they sent him on his way with a $20 Starbucks prepaid card, a 5 pound bag of algae and a lifetime subscription to Oprah magazine. Unfortunately his transition to civilization has not gone entirely as planned.

    James

    BEEkeeper- verified BEEkeeper, helps tend the Hive

    For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be great at something. The funny thing is, I never really knew what that something was. If you're like me and you grew up in the hood, it was basketball for at least a small stretch. What can I say, I grew up watching Michael Jordan. So, I spent a good part of my life trying to figure it out.

  • Sadaf, BEEkeeper

    Sadaf spent a lot of life becoming very good at planning, performing and getting things right. These days she's more interested in courage, adventure and the next honest step. She brings a big heart, serious curiosity and a growing willingness to explore before every answer is known - preferably with her dog Spike somewhere nearby.

  • Lisa, BEEkeeper

    Lisa

    BEEkeeper- verified BEEkeeper, helps tend the Hive

    I'm a lover of life in all its colors - people, nature, adventure, freedom, laughter, and a healthy dose of magic. I'm endlessly curious about people and the world around me, and have spent much of my life exploring possibilities, questioning convention, and figuring out how to do things a little differently. I've never been particularly good at fitting into a mold.

  • Brooke, BEEkeeper

    I'm a lifelong empath and seeker of truth. I have a formal education in public health, spent 10 years as a career farmer, and another 5 years learning and training as a professional carpenter. Most recently, my journey has taken me down a path of intensive personal growth.

Still becoming?
Good.
So are we.
