About Us

Our mission is to spread positivity.

We’re here to inspire you, which is why we are sharing encouraging and motivational stories that will help give you a daily boost. But inspiration is nothing without action, which is why we also want to help you perform at your best—in your personal life, your professional life or at school.

Our founders have helped some of the most accomplished people in the world—from top-ranked professional athletes to influential corporate executives—reach the top of their fields. We’re here to arm you with the same strategies, tips, insight and advice that helped them achieve at their highest level.

What’s in it for us? Well, a better world, for one.

Our People
