What We Believe...
1. In the Power of a "Sound Mind"
We believe that even when a brain is navigating a "foggy season," the heart and spirit remain whole. Grounded in 2 Timothy 1:7, our work is dedicated to replacing fear with a spirit of power, love, and mental resilience.
2. That Children are "Legacy Architects"
We believe the 1.3 million youth caregivers in America shouldn't be "invisible." We believe in equipping the next generation with the "Kid-Logic" and empathy they need to stay connected to their elders, turning a difficult diagnosis into a season of deeper family bonding.
3.That Science and Storytelling Belong Together
We believe that clinical research—like the U.S. POINTERS study—is only as effective as its ability to be understood. We believe in translating the 4 Pillars of Brain Health into joyful, intergenerational experiences that seniors and children can actually enjoy together.
4. In the "Bridge" Between Generations
We believe that seniors provide the "roots" of wisdom and children provide the "sunshine" of hope. When we bridge these two generations through Boss Frog™ and Ms. Z, we create a community where no one has to face cognitive decline alone.
5. In Integrity-Driven Entrepreneurship
Through the Boss Frog Academy, we believe in nurturing young leaders who are rooted in business excellence and community service, ensuring the future is led by those who value people over profits.
