Who We Are

Our Core Focus

“What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.”

― Kurt Vonnegut

Read about the one question that lead us to this thesis:

“Tell me about a time in your life that you felt truly alive.”

This is the question that Bbg’s founder, David Bradley, has posed to his coaching clients and employees over the years. He noticed a trend: every response had some relation to a community.

Whether it was love of a media brand, a shared hobby, a sport, or a unique adventure, every answer was returned in the context of a shared experience with others.

It is in fact connection we all strive for, and we find it in communities.
