About
Steven Lawson is the founder of The Potent Company, a holding company building at the intersection of human formation and meaningful work.
His flagship venture, Monk Manual, has helped over 100,000 people live and work with greater intentionality over the past eight years. Built on the conviction that how you structure your day shapes who you become, it remains one of the most trusted daily formation systems available.
Through Atlas Collective, Steven works directly with founders and leaders doing the work behind the work, helping them to close the gap between who they are and what they're building toward. Not through more strategy. Through a clearer perception of what's actually true.
His newsletter, The Slow Drip, delivers dispatches and essays on seeing clearly, building well, and becoming who you actually are.
Steven's work has been featured in Inc., Forbes, Fortune, Thrive Global, and CBC News. He lives in Buffalo, New York with his wife Lauren and their three children.
