It’s Time for Change. And historically, real change happens when individuals, communities and entire cities become empowered to live the change they want to see. There are many great causes, initiatives and organizations in LA that can benefit hundreds of thousands of people in need and the future of the city.
Yet, the majority of them are struggling to gain the support of the people… simply because they aren’t reaching them. We’re going to help them do it.
Everything we do, we believe in challenging the status quo. Creating change doesn’t have to be heavy, stale or wearing…it can and should be lite and creative. When it comes to helping others in LA, we believe in pushing the limits, having fun and feeling good about it - producing projects and initiatives that are beautifully designed, viral and something people want to be a part of.
Our mission is to have fun making LA a little bit better.

In his words: The night after returning from a once in a lifetime soul journey into Bosnia in the Summer of 2006, I remember walking out onto a moonlit fishing dock in Croatia, peering up into the vast while intuitively hearing a voice echo, "write write write..." At the time, I figured that the call meant for me to write a novel based on my pilgrimage in Bosnia, little did I know that it was just the beginning of an educational, spiritual & entrepreneurial voyage which would ultimately lead me back to the 'City of Angels' with a calling to gather people together in order to build a more balanced and sustainable Los Angeles.
Growing up in LA, I realized the awesome potential 'Hollywood' had to inspire love, goodness and genuinity in the world. And without taking away from the countless successful efforts which met and further lifted the potential, I felt that a grand movement driven by true and genuine spirit, creativity & love has yet to be sen...and then it hit me!
