Andrew Bryan, an education consultant and innovator, has led his life with one running principle: some people are born to lead from the front. Others are born to light the path for those finding their way, and for him, it has always been the latter.

Co-founder of Trek Epic and President of Emerge Educational Consulting, Bryan has devoted nearly two decades of his career to what he calls Core Gifts Discovery, a framework that helps individuals, teams, and organizations articulate the unique essence of who they are and what they contribute to the world. “My core gift, at its foundational level,” Bryan states, “is setting the stage for others to begin living within their purpose.”

Bryan notes that his approach transcends the online self-help maxims that crowd the internet. Instead, it’s rooted in experiential learning, reflective communication, and what he describes as “intentional discovery.” With his Core Gifts Discovery Program and the program’s non-profit key feature, Trek Epic, a 10-day international walking trek, he helps people step away from the noise of modern life, quite literally, and walk toward clarity.

Founded in the US with roots in European walking holidays, Trek Epic organizes small-group walking adventures across places like the United Kingdom, Portugal, and Spain. Originally designed for “emerging adults,” young people navigating the uncertain bridge between adolescence and adulthood, the program now attracts professionals, educators, and seekers from all stages of life. “We call it an incubator for a purpose,” Bryan explains. “Walking side by side creates the space for deep conversation and self-discovery that rarely happens in day-to-day life.”
