Cynthia Morrow

I call Wildfit a miracle and the gift that keeps on giving

Cynthia Morrow · Startup Founder · London, United Kingdom
For the next 4 months, I continued to drop weight and I lost more weight after the program than while I was on it. A total of 36 lbs. I found this astonishing, as I had gone back to enjoying my wine and occasional carbs.

"I’ve met collaborators, accountability partners, and lifelong friends. We’re already working on projects together, sharing tools, ideas, and support"

yasamin bahadorzadeh · Startup Founder · New York, United States
"From Lost to Laser-Focused: How Investing Mastery Reignited My Purpose" Before the Investing Mastery course, I felt like I was floating-trying different things but never truly landing. I had exited a luxury business I built with my sister and mother just before COVID. While it had financial success, I couldn't find…

With clearer skin, better sleep, steadier energy without afternoon crashes — came something I didn’t plan at all: I stopped smoking

Tomáš Filip · Startup Founder · Brno, Czech Republic
After years of believing that bread was simply a part of life (I grew up in a family of bakers for generations), I suddenly realized there is life without it... Alongside the physical changes - clearer skin, better sleep, steadier energy without afternoon crashes - came something I didn't plan at all: I stopped smoking. From one day to the next, simply because my emotional stability grew stronger and I no longer needed cigarettes as a crutch.

"This program didn’t just teach me how to grow a coaching business - it gave me the foundation to grow any business"

Nada Sleem-Szemer · Startup Founder · Clearwater, United States
Before this program… For 20 years, I sprinted up the corporate ladder, believing success meant working harder, proving myself, and achieving more. But instead of reaching the top, I was gasping for air-burnt out and disillusioned. So, I walked away. I turned to Classical Hatha Yoga and coaching, thinking I had found a…

"Silva Ultramind sparked an entire ecosystem of frameworks and IP"

Bo McCoy MBA DM · Startup Founder · Chillicothe, Ohio, United States
The practices of meditation, visualization, altered awareness, and intentional mental direction gave me a practical environment in which I could explore questions I had been carrying for years about identity, consciousness, the future self, and human potential... Since taking Silva Ultramind, I have created named frameworks, proprietary processes, trademarked concepts, courses, coaching methodologies, research models, manuscripts, visual models, and an expanding ecosystem of original intellectual property.
Xuan-Thu Lovell

Turned four separate projects into four clear pillars of one vision

Xuan-Thu Lovell · Startup Founder · Redding, United States
I had so many ideas for Breathe Wellness Boutique™. I could feel that they were connected, but I couldn't quite see the full picture... AI doesn't have to replace your creativity or your experience. It can help you organize what is already inside you, ask better questions, see patterns, and move ideas forward.
Adrian Bollard

This course didn’t just save me a quarter-million dollars — it gave me the power to bring my vision to life

Adrian Bollard · Startup Founder · Calgary, Canada
I was quoted $250K to build my AI app - I then saw a Mindvalley AI workshop and got an intuitive hit to sign up for the AI Mastery. By week 4 of the AI Mastery course, I had already created my Soulspace GPT, live and ready to guide people around the world.
Bea Ovalle

"I realized how deeply I had been rowing against the current, believing that effort alone would carry me forward"

Bea Ovalle · Startup Founder · Puebla, Mexico
My 7 Sacred States Journey Over these 7 days of the 7 Sacred States Challenge, something profound yet subtle happened within me. It wasn't about learning something new - it was about remembering. I had already completed Be Extraordinary, practiced the Six Phase Meditation, and immersed myself in programs with Regan…
Tomáš Filip

The 6 Phase Meditation turned years of intellectual understanding into daily practice and became the catalyst for a complete lifestyle redesign

Tomáš Filip · Startup Founder · Brno, Czech Republic
I spent years fascinated by the concepts of Joe Dispenza, understanding the science of change but failing to integrate it into my daily life... The 6 Phase Meditation didn't just teach me to meditate. It kickstarted a complete lifestyle redesign.
Sharon Prior

"Creating my video clone was ridiculously fun"

Sharon Prior · Startup Founder · London, United Kingdom
I've just completed the Mindvalley AI Accelerator Quest. The real breakthrough wasn't learning tools. It was designing capability. Yes, we explored: • Airtable - structured intelligence systems • Granola - frictionless meeting capture • Notebook LM - contextual knowledge synthesis • ChatGPT & Claude - agentic…
Maja Mazur

" I discovered that I can really make a beautiful difference for others"

Maja Mazur · Startup Founder · London, United Kingdom
Hello Mindvalley Family! I started this course, as I wanted to learn how to show up as the best version of myself on a regular basis for my family, friends, colleagues and people who work for me. I wanted to learn how to listen and give space, how to ask questions which help others open up and see their own magic, and…

I was a little lost before the start of the program

Keshav Sharma · Startup Founder · Gurgaon, India
I was a little lost before the start of the program. It helped me in finding out what is really important. More importantly, I stopped working with people who were draining my energies. I started a new content creation company during the course of the program, got my first big client and I also started an ambitious…
