The Run

Sean Harbinger — Pioneertown, CA

Twenty-five thousand miles. That's roughly the circumference of the earth. I've done it on an elliptical in the high desert of California, one session at a time, tracking every step with an Apple Watch. Not for a medal, not for a marathon photo — for something bigger.

I believe the data you generate just by existing — your steps, your clicks, your location, your attention — is your intellectual property. Tech companies make hundreds of billions a year from it. You get nothing. That's the problem Digital Dignity exists to solve.

25,000+
Miles logged on the elliptical. Every one tracked, every one counted toward something real.

RFDD — Run for Digital Dignity — is how I turn that physical commitment into funding. When you sponsor me, you're not donating to a faceless organization. You're backing a person who shows up every day, whose fitness data is public and verifiable, and who uses every dollar to build the tools and infrastructure for a data ownership movement.

Your sponsorship can be per-mile, per-step, a flat monthly amount, or a milestone pledge. You set a monthly cap so you're always in control. And you can track my progress in real time — every session shows up on the tracker.

100%
Transparent. Real activity data from Apple Watch, publicly tracked, no fudging the numbers.

I'm based in Pioneertown, California — a tiny desert community near Joshua Tree. I've spent 20+ years in Hollywood production and editorial, and the last several years building the technology and strategy for Digital Dignity. This isn't a side project. It's the work.

If you want to understand the bigger picture — why data ownership matters, what the movement looks like at scale — visit digitaldignity.org. But you don't need to buy into the philosophy to sponsor me. The pitch is simpler than that: I run, you fund, the work gets done.
