Why Side Quest HQ Exists
Every company already has a North Star.There’s a mission, a roadmap, a series of strategic moves being played. And ideally, a team moving toward something meaningful.But even the best quests grow tangled. Vision can blur. Rhythms can fray. Progress can become performative instead of present.A side quest offers recalibration without derailment. It’s a designed pause: strategic, immersive and purpose-aligned, to strengthen the team, restore flow and evolve the mission itself if needed.At Side Quest HQ, side quests are treated as power-ups for the Infinite Game:
Built to support what’s already working
Designed to improve how progress feels
Structured to integrate flow science, human systems and creative clarity
Framed to level-up both the mission and the people carrying it
Howdy, I'm Lane Belone.
I'm excited at the potential to collaborate with you. Please take a look at how we can contribute together below.
Choose Your Side Quest
Each quest is a time-bound (finite) journey designed to serve a broader mission. The intention is never to override the organization's direction, but to enhance the way forward through creative recalibration, strategic clarity, and meaningful integration.
1. Quest Navigator
For the founder or CEO navigating growth, change, or complexity—and ready to lead from deeper alignment.You’re already moving.
The mission is alive.
The team is in motion, or depending on you to set it back into rhythm.But something’s off.
Maybe the strategy isn’t sticking like it used to.
Maybe the clarity’s dimmed, the energy’s scattered, or the pace no longer feels sustainable.Quest Navigator is a leadership recalibration container, designed to help you pause, realign, and move forward with precision.It’s not about slowing down.
It’s about ensuring you’re running the right play, at the right time, in the right rhythm.What this unlocks:
Strategic clarity across conflicting priorities
Renewed energy and internal coherence
Rhythms that feel sustainable and effective
Clearer team alignment through your upgraded leadership presence
Stronger decision-making in ambiguous terrain
An embodied pace that matches your current stage, not someone else’s template
This is for you if:
You're in a key inflection point: growth, reorg, pivot, or product evolution
You want space to zoom out, check the map, and reorient—without losing momentum
You're ready to operate from conviction, not reaction
You care about the how as much as the what—how you lead, how you feel, how your culture unfolds
Outcome: Return to the core mission with more capacity, sharper insight and renewed alignment.
2. Mythic Ops
For founders and culture builders ready to upgrade how their organization operates, through gamified systems archetypal structure, and strategic flow design.You’ve built something real.
The vision’s there. The team is solid. The mission is live.But underneath the progress, you might feel this subtle tension:
Something in the culture, the rhythm, the way people work together, it’s not fully alive.
Not fully optimized. Not yet regenerative.Mythic Ops is a side quest designed to reshape how your company plays the game of growth, creativity and collaboration.This isn’t about surface-level culture workshops.
This is about building a living, breathing operating system, one that’s energizing, adaptive and designed to last.What this unlocks:
A mythically rooted culture codex that guides behavior, rituals, and decisions
Gamified team structures, feedback systems, and quest-based progressions
Organizational rhythms that balance speed with sustainability
More creative engagement, fewer top-down bottlenecks
An identity-rich culture where people know how they fit and why they matter
Playful systems that increase performance without stress or micromanagement
This is for you if:
You want your org to feel alive, not just productive
You’re seeking an upgrade to how your team operates day-to-day
You know your culture needs evolution, but don’t want to lose what’s working
You’re interested in applying story, gamification and systems thinking in a way that actually works in a modern business
You’re building something that lasts, and it needs an operating system to match
Outcome: A living operating system that fuels creativity, builds trust and delivers sustainable momentum through a "game" your team actually wants to play.

Infinite Game Mindset
Not every game is meant to be won. Some are meant to be played well. The Infinite Game mindset understands that life, leadership, and organizational growth are not defined by finish lines, but by the quality of presence, adaptability, and evolution over time. The focus is not on achieving a final victory, but on staying in motion with clarity, integrity, and creativity. Organizations aligned with this approach build momentum that lasts. They focus on rhythm, sustainability, and meaningful contribution instead of short-term domination.In this context, a side quest becomes more than a break from the main mission. It becomes a strategic choice to pause, integrate, and refine. Whether clarifying vision, upgrading team dynamics, or strengthening internal systems, a side quest offers a focused container for transformation. It supports the mission already in motion by enhancing the people carrying it. It gives the space to recalibrate what matters, so the next move can be made with more trust, flow, and confidence.The Infinite Game does not reject structure. It invites structure that evolves. It values aligned action, conscious pacing, and systems that support both productivity and peace. When approached through this lens, growth becomes a creative act. Each quest becomes a meaningful chapter, not a race to the end. Side Quest HQ is designed to support this approach, offering quests that help teams and leaders play with more intention, clarity, and resilience—without stepping away from the game they’re already playing.
Side Quest HQ Values

Providing Aligned Guidance
I grew up in a lovely home with my wonderful Best Mom and beautiful sister. My father wasn’t around and that left an imprint on me.I deeply desired the guidance of a single source of masculine truth, but that path wasn’t for me. I received guidance from Boy Scouts, coaches and church leaders growing up.I found different wisdom perspectives with each guide that entered my life.Because of this, I’m motivated to guide others in the best way that is needed for the moment. I’m driven to help those around me, my family and my community.Side Quest HQ is an extension of this guidance I provide to the world.
To Liberate The Oppressed
After high school, I joined the US Army. My first duty station was in Germany and that’s where I discovered my love of travel and exploration.Not having resources to travel as a boy, I was given the opportunity as a young man.Each culture I explored reflected a different aspect of myself. As I grew, my ambition was amplified.I joined the Special Forces (Green Berets) and mastered many skills at a world-class level. I expanded my exploration into combat and austere environments.The motto of the Special Forces is “De Oppresso Liber”, meaning: to liberate the oppressed. I still hold this motto close to my heart because I see a world deeply programmed by disempowered systems.Part of my purpose is to help liberate the oppressed minds of We The People, to live in a state of Joyful Sovereignty.Side Quest HQ is one of the “vehicles” in which I deliver this service to humanity.
Paradigm-Shifting Mindset
After 12 years of service, my wife and I left Germany, went on a coast-to-coast road-trip across the US and then made our way to Panama.I began to translate my leadership and worldly experience to support both Veterans and into the civilian world.Consolidating my approach to life and business turned into a book I co-authored titled, Unleash Your Humble Alpha.With this blueprint, I guided hundreds of CEO's, Founders, Entrepreneurs and Business Owners by clarifying their identity and purpose, all in support to optimize their business.The most enjoyable aspect of this work was witnessing potent transformation with seemingly subtle shifts in approach to life and business.
Holistic View of Life
Somewhere along the way, sacred plant medicine found me in Peru and I began a deeply rich spiritual journey.I began to explore different wisdoms of the world. With each perspective, I welcomed the truth that was meant for me and began to embody it.A key I discovered was that self-mastery unlocked a profound capacity to lead others.The deeper the self-mastery journey, the greater the capacity to guide others.This spiritual and holistic nature has been woven into the DNA of Side Quest HQ, allowing for harmony to be the connective tissue between beautiful vision and practical action.This spiritual essence balances my experiences as a high performing and mission-oriented soldier.
Honored to Be of Service
I’m honored to use my entire life experience as a human and to continue to be of service to the world. There’s much more about me that isn’t shared on this page, but it was my intention to share a few parts of myself that motivate me to do what I do.
For more information on my background and what I'm up to these days, you can check out my personal website.
