Why we started
- 1. We noticed that beneath our many human desires for career, family, achievement, and more, we all have one shared, powerful longing for a healed and peaceful world. But it seems impossible.
- 2. We realized that global media offers a powerful way to tell a different story about what's possible for impossible problems.
- 3. We saw there are people already tackling the impossible, locally, regionally, internationally. We wondered, "What would happen if we shifted media consumption even by 5% to stories of possibility?"
- 4. We decided to be the change we want to see: We decided to create media around our shared human intention to heal the world.
