In 2017, he hung up the robe. He came to realize that voluntary poverty was keeping him from serving the world in the ways he felt called too, so he stepped into a new chapter and joined Long View Asset Management, a sustainability-focused B Corp, eventually becoming a partner where he helps to oversee more than $250 million in assets.

Doug Lynam, Keynote Speaker, Celebrity Coach and Best-Selling Author has lived a life wilder than a roller coaster designed by Salvador Dalí on a sugar high. He started out as a Marine then took a radical turn becoming a Benedictine monk.
