Transform your life with Quest
A one month course with Joshua Mathias, founder of Spiritual Data
There's a version of your life that looks, from the outside, like it's working. The projects are moving. The relationships are mostly intact. You're showing up to the things that matter, most of the time.
What the outside doesn't see is how many directions you're holding at once — and how much of it is running on willpower and the quiet trust that you'll figure it out before something breaks.
The real cost isn't exhaustion. It's that there's never quite enough of you left for the things you wanted the ambitious life for in the first place — the deep work on the goal that matters most, the full presence with the people who matter most, the space to live the life instead of manage it.
What Quest is
Quest is a life-management app that connects long-term vision to daily action across every domain — work, health, relationships, personal growth. You provide unstructured plans and spontaneous insights, and AI provides reliable memory, tracked actions, and analytics on your life balance. Quest also tracks habits, schedules, and custom collections — your "spiritual data," everything that informs your life decisions and advances self understanding.
In this course, you build your life into Quest so the structure lives outside your head. After the course, Quest Guided keeps the structure running — with monthly coaching, peer accountability, and AI that grows with your data.
The course
Over four weeks, Joshua personally guides you through it:
Week 1 — Clarity. Define your goals with real specificity. Map the full context of your life — strengths, competing priorities, and the things that have quietly been getting in the way.
Week 2 — Strategy. Translate your goals into daily habits, milestones, and a concrete plan inside Quest.
Week 3 — Practice. Run your actual week through Quest — managing habits, tracking progress, and surfacing what needs attention before it becomes a problem.
Week 4 — Refine. Adjust what isn't working and build a system that holds up after the course ends. Is the structure giving you space to be conscious?
What you get
Live teaching every Sunday at 8 AM PST via Zoom (with access to recordings)
One-on-one coaching with Joshua throughout — not just during sessions, but asynchronously via chat whenever you need it
A small cohort of ambitious peers, with accountability that continues after the course ends
The Quest app itself, with full access to AI features throughout the course

What users are saying
"I use Quest as a structured way to reflect on what I'm actually working toward instead of just reacting to daily tasks. It helps me break down my goals into something more intentional and aligned, rather than overwhelming."
"I use the app daily for character development. I love the customized goal settings that suit my individual unique situation, rather than forcing me into a one-size-fits-all framework. The systematic approach to tracking progress has made it easier to move consistently toward my broader personal development objectives."
"I use Quest to set a clear goal and break it into smaller actions I can actually follow. It helps me stay more intentional and reflect on what I'm doing, instead of just guessing my next steps."
Who this is for
Founders, builders, academics, professionals, and anyone running an ambitious life across multiple domains who's tired of systems that only hold one priority at a time. You don't need to be in crisis. You need to be honest that the current structure isn't built for what you're trying to carry.
Who Joshua is
Joshua Mathias is the founder of Spiritual Data and is completing a PhD in Psychology researching how people develop abilities the world still calls impossible. He spent years as an ML engineer, project manager, and entrepreneur, building AI solutions for companies — and noticing that many of them didn't provide the value they were selling. That shaped a commitment: build only what provides more value than it costs, and only what he'd want to use himself.
Quest is the result — he built it because he needed a system that could hold a PhD, a nonprofit, marathon training, and family life while providing space for conscious living, and he still uses it multiple times a day. He's also been running daily and weekly peer accountability groups since 2024, is a certified hypnotherapist trained through MindValley, and a project manager trained through Google.
