Developing Emotional Intelligence with Jalen Gildersleeve

Published: Oct. 22, 2018, 10 a.m.

Suffering doesn\u2019t make you weak, it only makes you stronger. That\u2019s what Jalen Gildersleeve, founder and CEO Of MindHak, learned. MindHak is an AI-based application that teaches people emotional intelligence, self-compassion and emotional resilience. Having been born in Flint, Michigan, Jalen grew up surrounded by the belief that struggle, drugs and violence were the only obvious options for survival. After his mom moved the family to Atlanta, Georgia while in college, he was able to begin to witness and create new obvious options through self-compassion and emotional intelligence. It is these key tenets that led to the creation of Mindhak during Goodie Nation\u2019s Hack the Violence event. Goodie Nation charged him with reducing the world\u2019s emotional violence by 40% by 2020. Mindhak works by providing resources to its users, especially those underserved by today\u2019s society. Jalen shares his journey to creating MindHak, the Emergence Phenomenon, the power of self-actualization, and the wall of suffering.
