the brand’s renewed dynamism and vibrancy.

There is a new movement growing in many major cities today. More and more people are redefining successful, meaningful lives beyond material wealth, big titles, and other traditional social dictates. Across different demographics, people are becoming more innovative, open, and purposeful in the way they live, work, and play. They are starting unique businesses, consuming consciously and mindfully, and finding ways to lead positive changes in their respective communities. They are showing that so much more can be accomplished and enjoyed when the right collective of people merge enterprise with a sense of personal mission, when there are opportunities for passion and purpose to co-exist, when merging personal ambitions and joys is possible. The old chase for work-life balance has given way to the practice of work-life integration, and it has given us a new lens through which we can appreciate, curate, and enrich our lives.
