Elevate is where ideas become lived experience — through conversation, reflection, and practice, week after week.
Books. Podcasts. TED Talks.
Lauren Weinstein’s gift is translation. A Stanford instructor and executive coach to leaders at Google, Apple, Netflix, and more. She takes the research and makes it practical and immediately usable — through storytelling, coaching, and the kind of engagement that makes ideas stick.
Together they bring you something rare: the world's leading research on life's most important skills made vivid and immediately usable.
Sonja Lyubomirsky has spent 36 years at the forefront of research on how humans thrive. She knows this field — what's rigorous, what's meaningful, and what's actually worth your time. Every session draws on the best of that science in ways that meaningful change your life.
Grounded in the world's leading research. Brought to life every week.

The Membership
Elevate is a weekly space to learn and practice life's most important skills — the ones that shape how you feel, perform, and relate in every room you walk into.
Each session focuses on one science-backed skill you can start using immediately.
The insights compound over time — and so does the change.
Sessions are live on Fridays at 9:30am PT. Or listen to the recordings on your own time.
When you join live, you'll be part of a community of thoughtful, curious people who show up honestly and push each other to grow.
Memberships start at $47 / month. Month to month. Cancel anytime.

The aggregation of marginal gains shows how many small improvements, even just 1% at a time, compound into meaningful change over time. Improving by 1% each day doesn’t add up, it multiplies, leading to roughly 37× improvement over a year.
Small Changes, Big Results
How it works
Step 1: Join a live one-hour session every Friday at 9:30am PT — or listen to the recording on your own time.
Step 2: Engage with the week's skill in session, then take one concrete practice into your week.
Step 3: Return the following week to reflect, refine, and go deeper. Watch the insights compound over time.
Our goal for you is ease, simplicity, and high value. Leave each session with greater insight, powerful tools, and real support.
