We’re on a mission to scale wisdom, which we believe is the quality most needed to navigate the challenges of our time.
We empower conscientious organizations to evolve by embodying wiser cultures that drive positive impact and support the flourishing of all beings.

What is Wisdom?
Wisdom is an embodied understanding of the causes and conditions that lead to greater collective well-being. It arises from a deep recognition that all things are impermanent and interconnected, not static and separate as we often take them to be. Since life is fluid and unpredictable, wisdom is expressed as a responsive, intuitive, and adaptive knowing. Wisdom lets us discern, “What is the appropriate response in this moment?”
Though we cannot fully comprehend or control the unfolding of nature, there are ways of navigating the unknown with grace and humility, recognizing that we are each just one thread in the vast, interconnected web of life. The more we grow in wisdom, the more our thoughts, speech, and actions incline toward a world where all beings flourish.
Why is Wisdom Imperative?
Consumer capitalism has been at the forefront of technology and innovation, but it is also a culture primarily built on the illusion of separation and attachment to individual gain. This system has become a runaway train, prioritizing profit over the well-being of people and planet while pretending this approach can be sustained indefinitely. It cannot.
The power that human beings now possess has surpassed our current collective wisdom, an untenable situation that threatens to destroy our planet and millions of species, including our own. We are on the brink of a period of dramatic transformation, where AI and other technologies will profoundly reshape society and what it means to be human.
To navigate this moment skillfully, human communities of all kinds are being called to embody greater wisdom toward a more just, equitable, and flourishing future for all.
What We’re Exploring
Business, a powerful force for transformation, has dramatically reshaped the world over the last century of technological growth.
But as a system, it is still in its adolescence—eager to mature.
To ensure humanity's thriving future, we must integrate wisdom into the fabric of business culture as a natural part of its continued evolution.
Some of the questions we are curious about:
How can wiser work cultures help us to navigate the bigger-picture societal challenges humanity faces as we coexist with AI?
Can a business environment serve as a place for spiritual practice, sanctuary, and community where individuals feel seen and supported on their personal growth journeys?
What tools and practices can founders integrate into their work that help them maintain balance and ease while navigating the challenges of starting a business?
How can we demonstrate that businesses that embrace wisdom achieve greater material success and happier, more inclusive, and equitable work environments compared to those that do not?
How can we relate more wisely to technology in our work environments to foster human connection, embodiment, and creativity?
Which workplace practices would be wise to augment with AI, empowering humans to be their best selves with the mindful support of technology, and which would be wise to automate, enabling humans to redirect their time and energy more fruitfully?
Who Are We?
We are two friends who began our journeys as startup founders in New York City. We worked hard and achieved material success. However, we soon realized that remaining in the corporate world conflicted with our deeper desire for personal growth and becoming our best selves.
We each chose to step away to pursue different paths of wisdom: Mackenzie ventured to Central and South America to learn from indigenous communities, explore plant medicine traditions, permaculture, and connect with Earth’s intelligence. Alex dove deeper into meditation, trained as a spiritual caregiver, and eventually entered seminary to further his study and practice of Buddhism.
Upon reuniting, we had a profound realization: the pursuit of wisdom and the creation of a business should not be separate. Through embracing and integrating both the “spiritual” and “entrepreneurial” aspects within ourselves, we recognized the profound opportunity that conscientious leaders have to help catalyze collective evolution on a wide scale. Embedding wisdom into work culture can transform environments of competition, stress, and burnout into spaces for personal transformation and human flourishing.
As we’ve continued to prove this within our own lives, our passion for sharing this truth with others has only grown. Our work now is to collectively demonstrate how business can help drive the evolution of consciousness and contribute to a better, more compassionate world for all.
