Dive into high-impact experiences designed to challenge, provoke, and inspire your growth. You'll continuously sculpt your evolving future through live Wake-Up Calls, real-time Hot Seats, Expert Circles, Elevate mastermind groups, and thought-provoking Collections.
Get Provoked
Wake-Up Calls
Wake-Up Calls are energetic, live group sessions built to provoke your thinking. Each session focuses on one core idea, stripped to its essence and delivered in a concise, powerful format.

Hot Seats
The Hot Seat isn’t about being judged — it’s about being provoked and sharing your journey to provoke others. You’ll leave with unfiltered insights and become a learning partner for others.

Expert Circle
Intimate and engaging conversations with mindful thought leaders and experts. Gain insight into how ideas take shape and are put into action. Learn from the real journeys of others—through failure, courage, commitment, satisfaction, leadership, and beyond.

Conversational Collections
Your evolution is not a destination — it’s a mindset. Through short videos organized in a series of conversational collections, explore provoking ideas across the entrepreneurial spectrum: courage, commitment, resilience, uncertainty, innovation, satisfaction, prosperity, and more.
Be Engaged
Lean In. Show Up. Ignite Change.
Step into a dynamic stream of insight designed to spark connection and momentum. Through curated snippets, rich resources, standout podcasts, and an active community of peers stay deeply engaged in your growth.
