The World's First Research and Training Centre Dedicated to Flow States. "We're drowning in information, but starving for motivation!" The Flow Dojo is our flagship physical space and community of practice so we can map the source code of intrinsic motivation. An engaging place to play, learn and gather data on the genome--or essential building blocks--of the peak performance state known as Flow.

2. The Big Idea in 140 Words.
And if you’re reading this, we’d like to ask you one question…
We have partnered with the brightest minds in science,
legendary adventure athletes, and jaw-dropping digital
artists to unlock the source code of human performance.
Currently, we are seeking funding for the Flow Dojo —
the world’s first research & training center dedicated
to Flow science and performance. ($2.5M, Spring 2015)
Our goal is to reinvent popular fitness and conduct the
world’s largest citizen science project on optimal living.
We will source and coordinate academic research
(via incentive prizes), create a thriving membership
community (both physical and virtual) and aggregate
biometric data that can then be deployed in education,
healthcare and medicine.
We are looking for a select group of visionary individuals
and organizations whose mission and brand identity align
with that goal, to join this outstanding team in long-term
investment, sponsorship and co-creation.
3. How big do you want to play?
If your life’s work can be accomplished in your lifetime,
you’re not thinking big enough.
Dr. Wes Jackson, MacArthur Fellow
“ “
4. $2.1 Trillion Dollars spent on
healthcare in 2012 went to treatment
for chronic diseases. 1:3 Americans are
obese or morbidly obese. $200 Billion
lost workplace productivity
Lifetime Fitness the $1.25 Billion leader
in “Healthy Way of Life” companies, still
experiences attrition approaching 75%
Harvard study determined that when facing
physician-mandated lifestyle changes to address
fatal chronic diseases, only 12.5% effected
the changes
We’re drowning in information,
but starving for motivation.
5. If we had
to change
or die, how
many of us
would still
be here?
(1 out of 8)
6. For those who risk their lives for a living, like Navy SEALS
and the extreme athletes of RedBull--they can’t afford
anything less than instant, near perfect decision
making and accelerated learning curves.
Working in secret with Ivy League academics
and some of the most disruptive companies
in the smart health industry, this exclusive
cadre has discovered something that
almost everyone else has
overlooked.
In the last ten years, there’s been an
underground revolution in how we
train elite performers.
8. So most of us are starving for motivation
but drowning in information, while some of
us are overflowing with motivation but
sitting on information...
What if we could turn that upside down?
9. Flow creates powerful intrinsic motivation—
by releasing the most addictive neurochemicals
in our bodies
Flow cuts the path to Mastery (aka 10K Hours)
in half and accelerates performance up to 500%
People with the most Flow in their lives are the
happiest people on earth3

Three Things You Need to Know About Flow
16. What’s with the Jungle Gyms?
In researching the Rise of Superman
we interviewed over 200 extreme
athletes to find out what got them
into Flow fastest.
Flow Dojo’s Gravity Dome
Until now, if you weren’t a freakishly talented and courageous professional athlete,
it’s been foolhardy to chase these sensations—gravity hurts!
So we scoured the world for the best kinetic equipment that lets the rest of us
safely experience those daredevil sensations when we train, and we’ve connected them to light,
sound and biometrics so we can learn as we play…
Hands down, they answered
three key experiences
0G
Weightlessness (off the lips, big
hucks, three point shots and
Hail Mary’s) where body and mind
hang in suspended possibility
Multiple G’s
Weightedness (bottom turns, railed
corners, banks and swoops) where
muscle bones and organs all feel the
compression of many times gravity
Poly-axial
rotation
(flips, twists and spins) where the
only remaining reference point is
one’s center, and earth and sky spin
round and round before you stomp
that landing
17. We’re taking the work out of working out, and
replacing it with something much more appealing.
18. And creating an evolving open-source platform for
participatory research and iFlow App development.
iFlow app helps anyone, anywhere access Flow states with
smartphone biofeedback--applying those findings across disciplines.
19. Brands that create experiential
engagement are already defining markets.
RedBull Media created the highest engagement
marketing campaign of 2012 with Project Stratos
with over 36M views on Youtube
Cirque du Soleil has created a $1B + brand selling
the aspiration of physical mastery, taking circus
ticket pricing from the peanut gallery to luxury
Crossfit, Toughmudder, and Zumba have all created
high-growth $200M companies by providing intense
physical experiences and cathartic community
Zozi and Sky Zone have just made list of
most promising companies for 2014 further demon-
strating the market opportunities for innovators
20. We’ve brought together the brightest
minds in performance neuroscience...

launch to date.
Steven Kotler has done for the deep
science of human performance
what Malcolm Gladwell did for
viral trends and decision-making.
23. We’ve done the research, we’ve built the team,
we’re telling the story—now we’re finding the
right partners to take up the cause.
24. We’re looking to do for health and wellness
what Cirque du Soleil did for the circus.
If you’re out there trying to make your dreams become a reality…
if you create something really special, you get the best people
wanting to work with you to try to make it all happen.
