🪴 About Building Eternal

Building Eternal is a home for modern builders, thinkers, and creators who want to do meaningful work without losing themselves in the process.

It’s for those who feel a tension:
You want to create. To scale. To lead.
But not at the cost of soul, integrity, or peace.

Here, we explore what it means to build a life - and the systems, structures, and decisions that shape that life - with both clarity and conviction.

You’ll find writing, tools, and models at the intersection of:

  • 🧠 Mind & Models: Strategic thinking, systems design, and the architecture of clarity

  • 🛠 Tools & Tech: AI, workflows, and infrastructure that supports deep work

  • ❤️ Heart & Soul: Formation, purpose, and the inner life behind the outer build

This project is for the quietly intense: those who are often underestimated, overcommitted, spiritually curious, and reluctantly ambitious.

Some are entrepreneurs or engineers.
Others are creators, leaders, or lifelong learners.
Most are trying to build something that will stand, and become someone who can stand with it.

If you’re drawn to questions like:

  • How do I build well without burning out?

  • Can I pursue growth without losing the plot?

  • What kind of systems actually support the life I say I want?

  • Is there a way to create with both power and peace?

— then you’ll probably feel at home here.


📬 What You’ll Get

You’ll receive 1–2 letters a week, featuring:

  • Deep dives into tech, tools, and soul-aligned strategy

  • Personal explorations of creative ambition, stewardship, and faith

  • Models and frameworks you can use to think and build more clearly

  • Insights from years working across infrastructure, code, research, and formation

This is not a productivity cult.
This is not hustle gospel.
This is not “quit your job and sell a course.”

This is for people who want to build well, live wisely, and finish whole.


✨ Who’s Behind This

I’m Connor England.

Engineer, systems builder, and disciple working on the sorts of things that last. I’ve worked as a researcher in creativity and innovation, helped build digital infrastructure for social-impact orgs, and now write and teach at the intersection of technology, formation, and long-term strategy.

This space is the outpouring of what I’ve learned - and what I’m still figuring out.
