LevelUp Transformed My Life

By: Jackson Upmann

In 2020, I didn’t know what to do with my life. I had just dropped out of college, had no career path, no clear values, no purpose. I didn’t like myself. I felt anxious most of the time, and honestly, I was pretty scared about my future. I just wanted to be happy. But I didn’t know how.

Then I came to LevelUp.

LevelUp is a conference about ideas for excelling in life and advancing liberty. At the event, you’ll engage with world-class speakers, discover powerful life-serving ideas, meet hundreds of thoughtful people, and level up in life like never before.

For the first time in my life, I was surrounded by exceptional people. People who asked big questions and wanted rational answers. People who were living fulfilling, happy lives. People who took ideas seriously.

I remember Craig Biddle arguing for free will in a clarifying way I’d never heard before. I was a determinist at the time—I believed my successes and failures were the result of forces beyond my control. After his presentation, it felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I realized that I am in control. I can move my life in the direction that I want to go.

That was huge. And that was just one talk.

The conference helped me understand that I should pursue happiness, that I can make sense of the world, and that if I learn and apply the right ideas, success is mine.

Since then, I’ve never looked back. I’m happier than ever and I have a purpose: to share the ideas that transformed my life with people who are where I was a few years ago—people who want to make sense of the world and thrive.

LevelUp changed my life. What will it do for you? 

This year, it’s in Atlanta (June 19–21). It’ll be my third. I hope to meet you there!
