Jeff's Story Don’t Get Bitter - Get Better
Brightn wasn’t a company I planned to start. While managing my investment firm and a happy family, my life turned upside down when my oldest son, Seth, died from Fentanyl poisoning in 2016, followed by my wife Prudence’s battle with alcohol. My journey through grief led me to realize that the true enemy was the mental health crisis affecting millions.
20,000 Miles in 3 Months
Determined to make a difference, I wrote a book and embarked on the Living Undeterred tour with my remaining sons, spreading a message of resilience and transformation. However, I knew we needed a broader reach to truly impact young lives.
Brightn Your Mind
Inspired by the idea of “Build it, and they will come,” I created Brightn. A very common question asked to me is “what is your goal or what are you trying to accomplish with Brightn?” My answer is and has been “if what we were doing was working, I never would have started Brightn.” Our app focuses on mental wellness as a process, not a pill. With personalized life statements and AI-adjusted daily actions, we help users balance their health, wealth, and purpose.
You Can ALWAYS Change Your Story
Despite personal tragedies, I found beauty and connection in the world. Brightn aims to show the younger generation that they can be a ripple of positivity in their communities. It’s never too late to empower the next generation to shape a better world.
Finding A Lost Generation
My sons' generation is the most stressed in history, constantly bombarded by anxiety-inducing content. Society often pathologizes normal challenges, pushing kids towards drugs and technology for quick fixes. It’s time to harness technology as a force for good.
Done with Doom Scrolling
Brightn empowers young people to see the world positively. Our content is short, impactful, and authentic, helping users start their day with a brighter outlook. With the support of NBA pros Kris and Keegan Murray, we’re inspiring future Thrivers to turn their lives into slam dunks.
