FAQ.
why do you exist?
We believe “lifestyle” media today leaves a lot to be desired. It lacks meaning, encourages unhealthy consumption (that harms our health and planet), and has very little to do with what “lifestyle” is—the way you live. We exist as an alternative: a different type of media for a different way to live.
why a newsletter?
Substance. We didn’t just want to be another social media platform. We didn’t want to be more video “content” for you to scroll through. We work to create inspiration, insights, and advice you can actually spend time with and apply to your life. Again, Lifestyle. Our newsletter is personal, it’s direct, and it’s purpose-driven. While we may produce other forms of media in the future, it will always be centered on living deeply, personal growth, and social change.
