The Mission
We are a free online platform dedicated to providing real, educational, and professional guidance to young adults. Our One-Stop-Shop makes life easier, healthier, and happier, ultimately making the world a little bit better.
The Roots
I remember very vividly reading an article that stated 50% of people in their 20s have cried at work and a similar percentage skipped work due to immense stress. Thinking there would be some type of helpline, I checked up and down the article, again and again, for guidance on what young adults should do when they feel this way. Nothing.
It was as if the company believed young adults struggling was a good enough statistic to publish and the real problem at hand wasn’t a concern. Surprised with this coming from a renowned company, I searched the internet for common questions young adults ask, thinking this article was an anomaly. The result was exhausting: a lack of professional advice in the top results, hard to navigate websites, and a disregard of clear actionable steps. Time and time again, the search resulted in less clarity and more unanswered questions.
The frustration I felt fueled a passion to solve the problem – with $300 and an idea, I went to work.
Update: It’s been well over two years now, and the results have been astounding. We are over a hundred people strong with a comprehensive platform. We’ve published hundreds of original articles across a multitude of relevant topics from top experts in their fields, built a library of self-help videos, and launched a coaching directory, providing 1:1 guidance. Our platform alone has impacted 100,000+ people.
Our core goal is to connect people looking for guidance with information and experts that can help. Through this act, over and over, we can make the world a little bit better. Thank you for learning with us.
