About Intention Academy

We built Intention Academy to help you get clear on what’s next—

and actually do something about it.

You’re already living parts of your life’s purpose.

We help you bring more of it into your life and turn it into

meaningful, consistent action you can build on.

The Process

Our Journey

Dr. David Chorpenning spent decades as a counselor watching a pattern repeat itself: smart, capable people stuck in the gap between what they wanted and what they were actually doing. The problem wasn't motivation — it was intention.

Colton, after 8 years as a digital nomad building a life around his own terms, saw the same gap from the other side. Together, they developed the Intentionalist framework — a practical methodology that distinguishes between wants (living in hope), desires (living in emotion), and intentions (living in action). They put it all into a book. Then they built a tool to take you through it.

Our Approach

We don’t fix problems. We build from your strengths.

A Desire for Change

Everyone who works with Intention Academy has a change they want to make. The first step is to cut through the noise of what you think you should want—and clarify what you actually want in a meaningful area of your life.

Create an Intention

From there, we help you create a clear, specific intention rooted in who you are—along with a simple plan for how to move it forward in your real life.

Achieve Intentions

You’ll take small, consistent actions—building momentum, confidence, and real progress you can feel.

This isn’t just a philosophy. It’s a repeatable, science-based process you can use again and again.
