The Philosophy
Everyone is born with the potential for excellence, and the desire to unleash that potential. Your life is a sacred gift, and you have a sacred mission. Treat yourself that way. Treat everyone that way, because that is the way in which we are all created equal.
The Mission
How can you take a systematic approach to fulfilling your mission by unleashing your potential so that you don’t waste your talent? What does it mean to treat yourself like your life is a sacred gift and you have a sacred mission?
Your mission is the adventure of your life, and the adventure starts with hope.
Your adventure is a relentless quest for courage, authenticity, and excellence.
You will bridge the distance between hope and excellence by developing the skills you need to get the results you want.
In other words, “be the hero of your own journey.” In order to become a hero, one doesn’t need to slay a dragon or save the universe from Thanos. A hero finds the courage to overcome fear, self-doubt, and second-guessing in order to make a meaninfgul contribution to their community.
The Vision
We envision a world where everyone pursues courage, authenticity, and excellence so that they can make a meaningful contribution to their community.
Courage means aligning your decisions and actions with hope and wonder so that you never surrender to fear, self-doubt, or second-guessing.
Authenticity is the embodiment of your unique combination of gifts and skills. It is your best self.
Excellence is the expression of your courage and authenticity. It is your best performance.
We are here to build a community around the relentless quest for courage, authenticity, and excellence. We want to discover everything we can about doing everything we can to unleash individual and, as a consequence, collective human potential.
Why Do we Do this?
Because the saddest thing in life is wasted talent, and far too much talent is going to waste.
Because human beings are creators. We transform potential into reality. That’s the defining human characteristic. Every technology, from a stone ax to a smartphone, to the International Space Station started out as a “pipe dream” in someone’s imagination. Through skill acquisition, accountability, and a relentless mindset they transformed their imaginary visions into physical realities. That is who we are, that is what we do, and that is how we do it.
Because the trajectory of your life will be determined by one decision: excellence or regret? Nobody wants to live the wrong life and then die filled with regret, because regret is hell. At the end of your journey, you don’t want to look back at a trail of wasted potential and wasted opportunities.
Who are you when you are most courageous, most authentic, most excellent self? An artist? A warrior? An engineer? An entrepreneur? A healer? A leader?
