Abe Newmeyer

The Synthesizer

You got what you worked for.
Now you're asking if this is all there is.

The promotion. The house. The weight you lost. Did any of it make you greater?

More than 1,500 written over more than a decade. Hundreds are here to read. They began as a way to commune with my Creator and to stave off depression. I never meant to publish them.

Why this exists

Getting what you want is not the same as being greater.

I know because I stacked careers, moved halfway around the world, and still had to write the same hard questions down on paper. The lists are the record. The conversation is where we see if the next step is worth taking together.

There is one of me. When today's conversations are full, you join the waiting list.

Who this is for

For you if

  • You got what you aimed at and it went quiet afterward.
  • You're willing to do real work — time, effort, energy — not only spend money.
  • You want a plain yes or no on whether we should talk further.

Not for you if

  • You want to be motivated. This isn't that.
  • You want results guaranteed. Nobody can promise that.
  • You want someone else to do the work for you.

About

Untethered at 45

My parents died within seven months of each other, and they weren't the first people I loved to die. I sold the house I grew up in and left Fort Worth. I wrote the first draft of my first book in 72 days in Rio de Janeiro, then came back to the States and spent about a year as a FEMA disaster inspector and then an SBA loan officer. On Thanksgiving Day 2018 I flew to the Philippines on a one-way ticket that was meant to cover five or six weeks. I'm still here. Before all of that: financial services, life insurance, auto sales and retail.

In February 2024 I was on the back of a motorcycle (a habal habal, as the locals call it) when a small cargo truck hit us from behind. I don't remember it. I've only seen the security-camera footage. Five broken ribs, a broken right arm, three weeks in the hospital, and months of relearning simple things. I still write.

Abe Newmeyer is my pen name. I chose it for privacy, because I never planned to publish any of this.

From people who've worked with me

Abe has a way of cutting through noise and getting to what actually moves a business forward. Practical, steady, and direct.

Herb M., Author

Working with Abe improved how we think about growth and accountability. Clear expectations. Real follow-through.

Thirty minutes, free, and it ends with a plain yes or no. If it's a fit, you'll hear from me within 48 hours.
