Do you have a sense that something is rumbling in your soul, trying to get out?\n\nDo you feel confused about who you are professionally?\n\nAnd are you waiting until you feel ready, or are you building the world you want to live in?\n\nPhilosopher and CEO, Brian Johnson is back. This time he\u2019s set his sights on an ambitious goal to create a company that will change the world. The Heroic Public Benefit Corporation is a platform that will provide the tools for optimal living as well as an online community that will become the answer to The Social Dilemma.\n\nAt the time of this recording, Brian\u2019s raising $11 million to get the ball rolling, and Heroic stands to be the first company in history to raise $5 million through crowdfunding. There\u2019s so much more to his grand vision, and you can learn more by visiting wefunder.com/heroic. \n\nNow if you\u2019re like most of us, you may have a sense that there\u2019s something calling you to the next level of your life.
