Grit X Gold is a mission-specific brand and aesthetic dedicated to the pursuit of prosperity through authenticity, artful living, and a sense of adventure – the freedom and play necessary to bring about meaningful personal transformation.

Grit X Gold Expeditions are exclusive group trips designed for the sharing of specialized knowledge and free-form artistic expression and personal alignment inherent in living authentically, hosted in different locations throughout the world. They are to be crewed by the curious, the daring, and the driven – people in search of the treasures hidden deep within the folds of every great adventure. These are unique individuals of all kinds, diverse outliers in the grand scale of humanity, united under the common cause of individual and collective enrichment, banded together for a week of creativity, enjoyment, and self-exploration.

To those who know him, Rex (@rjleniczek) is many things, but underneath the varied roles, he’s fundamentally an artist.

A childhood of life on a farm, formal education in a several core sciences, a life of work in the media and entertainment industries, a passion for people and art, an agile mind, an eye for details, and a deep hunger for adventure… combined, you get a highly unorthodox individual wired to creatively solve problems and offer guidance to those that need it. This is Rex in a nutshell.

Over the course of his life, Rex has directed the majority of his conscious energy in three directions – nurturing a wide range of skills, establishing a strong sense of self and artistic style, and exploring and detailing the great mysteries of life – and it is the resulting talent and expertise of these three that he wishes to enrich others with through this work.

One thing is certain: life cannot flourish in the confines of what most of us have come to consider “normal life”. None of us can afford to continue micromanaging and predetermining every little step out of fear, but neither can we allow ourselves to relax into lives filled with repeated consumption of the same old processed junk without expecting either to eventually kill us. There needs to be another way.

Our solution is simple. We need to get out and break free from these limits. We need to dive deeper into the sea of life and nourish those aspects of ourselves that have yet to blossom, no matter how strange and unrealistic they may seem. And where else can you find the keys to rawness, realness, and rareness of life necessary for such individual evolution and expression than on the forefronts of expedition?

So we forget the scripted plans and the copy-paste gimmicks, and instead invest in something truly worthwhile for both ourselves and the world. Enter Grit X Gold Expeditions.
