BRAINTRUST
A sanctuary for those ready to transcend conventional thinking and step into their fullest expression.
What is Agape Braintrust?
"Agape Braintrust brings together extraordinary minds in a container of unconditional love (ἀγάπη). Neither coaching nor course, but a deliberate ecosystem where wisdom emerges from genuine connection.
We create the conditions for transformation through collective intelligence and shared devotion to what matters most. A sanctuary for those ready to transcend conventional thinking and step into their fullest expression."

Not another coaching cohort. This is a sanctuary for the extraordinary.
We're creating a different kind of gathering space—one where wisdom flows across generations, deep connections form naturally, and transformation happens without force.
This is for the seekers. The visioners. The ones who know there's more.
WHO WE ARE
HOPE and JULIAN here.
We're not gurus or coaches with trademarked methodologies. We're curators of uncommon experiences and architects of spaces where magic emerges from the collective.
Our gift? Creating playgrounds for shedding normalcy. For breaking bread with strangers who quickly become allies. For conversations that echo in your mind for months afterward.
Step into the Braintrust.
This is not another networking group. It’s a living, breathing force—a space where bold thinkers and deep feelers gather to stretch the edges of what’s possible.
Hope and Julian are social architects of connection, weaving a room where ideas ignite, collaborations spark, and transformation feels inevitable. This is for those who are done circling the edge—ready to move, create, and evolve in a room that truly sees them.
Watch the video. Feel it. If it stirs something in you, you’re in the right place.
