A morning read and a weekly hour for founders. Join the waitlist. Become an Impact Maker.
Become an Impact Maker ➜Open a feed of founders and the offers start to match. The same tools. The same trend. A little more speed each week.
Two habits keep that going. Waiting for a lightning idea. Copying the leader and calling the speed a plan. Both habits start from the same inputs as the rest of the field.
There is a practice that gives you a different option. Take an idea from philosophy, from an older system, or from the way a city or a culture was built. Set it against the problem on your desk.

Pat Villaceran mentors Fortune 5000 CEOs and global founders. In her words: “In my programmes, we grow companies up to 3,000%.” Founders apply, the cohort is selective, and the first step is a 15-minute screening call.
Innovation Philosophie trains that practice on a schedule. You read it first thing. Each read names one pattern in your field, brings in one idea from outside it, and ends with one move you can build that day.
Build work that still matters after the trend moves on. Build work that leaves people better off than you found them.
The founders who keep this practice are Impact Makers.
One sitting, before the feed.
EVERY
MORNING.
The First Thing runs the same three moves in the morning read and in the weekly hour.
The default move in your field, written down so you can see it.
One idea from philosophy, from a system, or from history, set against your problem.
Something you can build with today. Each read adds one piece to the method.
Join the waitlist. When membership opens, Impact Makers receive the publication below. The waitlist is free.
The morning read. One pattern, one outside idea, one move, in your inbox before the feed.
The hour. One entry from the sequence, taken apart for a recorded hour.
What has been published. The reads and hours released so far, available when you join.
A note on the objects. Cards and a notebook are in the making. The waitlist hears when a piece is ready.

Nathan Reardon, co-founder of Innovation Philosophie, and Pat Villaceran hold The Innovation Philosophie Podcast: conversations with founders, investors and Impact Makers building scalable ventures in new high-growth industries. It is one part of that network. The waitlist is still the way in. See the podcast.
The waitlist for Innovation Philosophie. We email you when The First Thing opens for members, and when Embody pieces are ready. The podcast is a separate page, and this form does not play it. This form does not take payment.
A morning read, a weekly hour, and the archive of pieces that have been published. The morning read is one sitting. The weekly hour is one recorded hour on a single entry.
The publication. It is a numbered sequence. Each entry stands alone. In order, the entries build one method. Read how The First Thing works.
Objects that keep the method in your hands. Cards for a hard decision, and a notebook you think in. Nothing is for sale yet. See Embody.
Founders who are building companies. We call them Impact Makers. You can start without a background in philosophy. The reads are in plain language.
