Richard Bartrand

Rick is a battle-tested seeker, truth warrior, and author who has spent decades charting the unexplored territories of the human spirit, faith, and freedom. Born and raised in Michigan, Rick’s love for the wild outdoors and quiet reflection has shaped a life devoted to uncovering timeless wisdom ~ and sharing it with fellow truth-seekers, skeptics, and soul warriors ready to saddle up and ride.

From flipping burgers and working construction to serving his country as a U.S. Navy aircrewman on combat support helicopters, Rick’s boots-on-the-ground life experience gives him raw authenticity you can feel on every page. He’s built businesses, driven big rigs, repaired what’s broken, and guided others as a thought coach, helping them reclaim their inner strength and clarity.

But Rick’s greatest adventure didn’t come from the road or the sky ~ it came through a thorough analysis into self-mastery, spiritual awakening, and philosophical exploration. Over 20 years of journaling, seeking, and learning forged his voice as an author who doesn’t offer fluff or feel-good clichés, but bold truths that challenge your thinking and ignite your soul.

Rick’s notable works include:

~ Bite Size Life Lessons (Volumes 1 & 2): Modern-Day Proverbs: Forged from life’s fires.

~ So... You Think You’re An Atheist: The Questions That Haunt the Soul:

~ Smoking the Pipe of Contemplation: Road to Revelation: A journey for seekers, sages, and soul-warriors alike.

With several more titles in the works, Rick continues to equip his tribe with battle-tested wisdom, practical tools for awakening, and a rallying cry for those who refuse to settle for half-truths.

When he’s not writing or speaking, you’ll find Rick off the beaten path—tracking wildlife through the Michigan woods, capturing life through a camera lens, or swapping stories by a crackling campfire.
