UM Veteran Author Daniel Comp
BY DANIEL COMP | JANUARY 19, 2023
As the Author and Curator of ‘Scotomaville’, I believe; “The greatest expedition you’ll ever undertake is the journey to self-understanding”. This is because a successful expedition is not simply about discovering new lands, but in seeing with new eyes. That is the marvel of learning from those that have gone before, like Marcel Proust, W.H. Murray and Blaise Pascal.
Daniel Comp Exploring for Challenged UM Veterans
I am grateful for decades of successfully exploring Why I Do What I Do (WIDWID). Why do I feel the way I do about misleading criticism? Why do I trigger when things are unfair? Why do I feel depressed when I get sick? Where do feelings come from, and how can I change my mind with error correction? Learning WIDWID helped me formulate a cause to triumph.
I learned that I was capable of climbing a mountains all day because it was necessary to reach camp before dark. I could bare cold, wet, heat and isolation far better with a quick reminder of WHY I was exploring. I would look at the totem of symbols on my bicycle frame top tube to remember what my family would remember long after I pass. Ambition and determination are required. They both begin with asking; why?
I’m a respected husband, father, entrepreneur, and US Navy Veteran. I have demonstrated decades of commitment to human achievement by working with solo-preneurs and challenged business owners using core principles of perseverance and resourcefulness.
Blaise Pascal recommends that we find and follow someone with evidence of going where we want to go by following "in the way they began". Watch my journey and start your own. Record your journey, binge-watch your episodes, and improve your reactions and direction. Challenge your Personal Everest!

Your Summit to Challenge in UM
Angelina is witness of my Personal Everest. There have been many crevasses and stumbles. That is well documented in the episodes. You will also find insight on your behavior by looking back at reactions, excuses, feelings and effort made. I encourage you to download the pitch-deck and consider challenging your beliefs, attitudes, and behavior.
50 years ago, Daniel laid in bed watching model airplanes slowly spin on their monofilament while imagining this day. It seems that life is full of curves. Checking off items on a bucket list can be tough - especially when self-isolating during a global pandemic. The thing is... he knows WHY he's sacrificing to create the series. he has an outcome in mind, and he sees in his mind WHO will appreciate all the effort.
