Each year in the fall we take a team retreat up to the North Shore of Lake Superior to reset, reflect and reconnect.

Some years we are well planned others have been impromptu. This year we saw a tiny gap in our crazy workload and we shot it.

Getting away from the grind makes you keenly aware that “work” is a funny thing. It is something you need to do it to pay the bills, but it also is something closely tied to your identity, purpose, relationships and is literally one of the things you will do most in your life from a time standpoint. So it is of utmost importance to be intentional with it.

This means to me that cultivating a strong team and running effectively with other humans you have the responsibility to make it more than just a transaction. Read that again.

There are seasons where work can just be work and that is fine, there is a lot to learn in the mundane, but it is important to clear your head and heart - get out in the grandness of raw nature with each other and realign.

Thanks to Starlink we were able to keep things moving in the background, but also disciplined ourselves to smack shut the laptops as soon as we could each morning.

Seasons are changing and the world feels a little crazy, so join us in this challenge: get outside. Get in nature. Contemplate the insane improbability of being alive. Take a deep breath. Now do it again. Move from a mindset of fear-based control to one real gratitude rooted in genuine surrender and trust.

As high achievers it may feel like letting your foot off the gas but the opposite is true, the closer you can get to a calm mind and your authentic self the more powerful/valuable you can be to others. You have permission to take care of yourself and those you love! :)

This Wednesday was the official launch of Legatum Foundations 4th collaborative philanthropic fund called Resilio Fund. It took place in Dubai at the breathtaking Museum of the Future. Because the future of crisis response is local.

This is why Honest Studios exists - to elevate ideas that are changing the world.

We have been working with Legatum for over a year and we had the honor of naming the fund, architecting the brand identity, producing their vision book, vision video, animation logic video, website, and all that went into their launch event in Dubai at Museum of the Future!

Legatum’s philanthropic work is world-class. Their previous funds are all pioneering global leaders in their respective areas. Now adding Resilio Fund to their portfolio of collaborative funds they have founded is an incredible next step.

It has been an honor to work closely with Legatum and we want to congratulate them on a beautiful, full event and securing well beyond their target in initial funding for the first year. All of this work goes to center local community leaders in times of disaster and crisis.

A more full case study coming soon! For now enjoy a couple photos from the launch event!

Last year when Legatum Foundation asked us if Honest Studios would partner with them in launching their 4th collaborative global humanitarian fund we were thrilled and honored! It is called the Resilio Fund.

Here is a note from Legatum Foundations President Guy Cave about Resilio Fund:

Legatum has long believed in the power of collaborative philanthropy and the importance of getting resources to communities while respecting their agency and dignity – the Resilio Fund is being set up to embody this in how the world responds to humanitarian crises.

Resilio Fund is the fourth collaborative Fund that Legatum has launched, and it builds on the success of the The END Fund, The Freedom Fund, and Luminos Fund. Resilio Fund’s approach channels grants to local NGOs, which in turn give trust-based micro-grants to grassroots community groups who are already taking action to help their community after a disaster. Resilio Fund champions trust, flexibility, and proximity, and acknowledges the capacity and courage of communities to respond to their own needs, and supports them with the resources to do so effectively.

We at Honest Studios are partnering with Legatum to bring Resilio Fund to market and have facilitated the naming of the fund, developed their core messaging, brand identity and style guide, prospectus book, vision video, animation video, pitch deck, and are supporting their launch at Museum of the Future in Dubai this fall.

More to come on this project soon.

This year has been a BLUR so much going on and we’ve been so bad about posting! Gonna try to change that.

Major shout out to this legend - David Nanda for his relentless work ethic and dedication.

We don’t glorify the grind for the sake of the grind around here, life is not about being a workaholic, but we know first hand the necessity of delivering with excellence and the drive that requires.

“Honesty”

“Honesty” to us is not a statement of true or false, of right or wrong. “Honesty” signals our commitment to transparency, and is a representation of who we seek to work with. “Honesty” is not a claim we hold over others; it is a declaration of our intention as we pursue doing great work.

You see, modern consumers are not fooled by sales hype or gimmicks – they are savvy, reflective and looking for an authentic story to be amplified. It is in this climate that we see an opportunity to disrupt how media and marketing is done. We believe that “honesty is the revolution.”

Let’s tell your Honest Story.
