Find A Better Playground For Your Creativity

Why did James move from San Francisco to Los Angeles?

  • James felt there were more creative individuals in LA than SF
  • SF was an engineering-focused space that was very financially driven
  • The relationships in SF tend to be more transactional than anything else
  • The culture in SF was a serious city that didn’t value humour in people
  • In SF, there are 200-300 investors for every great idea which lowers returns and makes it harder to get into a deal
  • James believes that in 5 years, LA will become the creative capital of the world
  • LA already has a lot of amazing companies such as Snapchat and Honey

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

samz905

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
