So, who are you anyway?
Here’s my awakening in 100 words.
During multiple international expeditions to study how different people come together, I realized that bringing humans together and liberating their expression is my life purpose.
In 2016, while working as a festival medic and studying pharmacology and public health at university, I learnt firsthand about the decline of community and mental health in western culture.
This led me to start researching human well-being. In my research, my goal was to figure out the formula for igniting human expression, joy, and belonging regardless of circumstances.
On my journey, I brought together more than 10 000 people through 100s of experiences. In 13 countries. Within Fortune 500 companies like Lululemon. For international events with 1000s of guests like Envision Festival and Burning Man. And, of course, in public streets…
But my successes as a facilitator did not translate into a lasting impact on cultural norms.
I was working for clients. I was constantly seeing new faces. I was not able to have an ongoing impact on my participants’ well-being. I was giving people a temporary spark of joy, but I was not igniting the fire within them.
Finally. I realized the power of community. I realized that community-building around what I love giving scales my impact, raises my sense of purpose, and creates passive recurring income.
So I started a global alliance. VYVE—
An invite-only alliance of human connection business leaders who are transforming social and community structures in the developed world.
This is our vision, as detailed in our manifesto.
A culture where real-life, human-to-human contact is prescribed more regularly than any other medicine.
I believe in this because I know that regular human contact is the best preventive for depression, addiction, and suicide.
