Jaybill McCarthy is a male human being that inhabits a farm in a somewhat rural area not terribly far from Portland, Oregon. He is married to one Erin McCarthy. They have one child who is reportedly super great.

I used to get upset that I didn’t stick with hobbies or interests for super long periods of time. I’d take up something new, obsess over it for a while, learn everything I could about it, then move on to something else.

I’ve done everything from filmmaking to building furniture to launching a startup and a hundred other things in between. There’s also a never ending list of things things I’d still like to do. I used to think this was a bad thing. I felt like a failure because I never stuck things out to the point of really mastering them. Now I look at it differently. My life is lived in projects. It’s the pursuit of new skills and new knowledge that drives me. It’s about the journeys I get to go on.

What I want to do now is take other people on those journeys. I want them to come with me as I try new things. I want people to experience joy with me. I want them to see me succeed, but also want them to see me fail. I want to show my authentic, honest, human self in the hopes that people will be inspired to try new things for themselves.
