Creating Our Modern Day Blue Zone

We’re building a community of 1,000 highly competent people who are good from within—people who are not only amazing at what they do but are generous, curious, and always looking to grow.

At our Human Performance Hub in NYC, we regularly bring people together to learn, support one another, stay healthy, and take on the world’s toughest challenges - what we call our Modern Day Blue Zone.

Our events are a key way we connect—an opportunity for you to get to know us, and for us to get to know you and others who might be part of the 1,000.

Past Next Jump Events

Build on the Foundation

Many people ask us "how can I help?" We created our events to find “givers”—partners who want to collaborate in building a modern-day Blue Zone community. Next Jump provides the foundation: space, food, and staff (chefs, bartenders, DJs, instructors, etc.). We’re inviting others to create & add on top of this foundation (ie. teach, share). If you have ideas and would like to contribute, let us know how below!

Why We Host Events

BETTER ME + BETTER YOU = BETTER US

The most successful people in the world are Givers.

It’s actually how we became the number one learning organization in the world.

It’s in the research. The more we’ve given and helped others (organizations, leaders, people), the more we’ve learned and received insights, nuances in challenges…that helped us accumulate greater knowledge…which in turn allowed us to help others even more."
