- 📚 Speaking To Students | Pulse Of The Nation
When we first started Elevation Nation we had three goals.1) Figure out how to conquer the real world ourselves2) Help others figure out how to conquer the real world3) Speak publically about our journey
Recently, we had a chance to cross ✔️ number 3 off our list. As we've grown Elevation Nation, our mission to help elevate ourselves and others hasn't changed. From Elevators, fans of the podcast, and now to students across the US, our dream is to help young people feel seen, heard, and empowered throughout their journeys to conquer the real world. Thank you all for being part of this incredible journey. Here's to many more elevated young adults in the future!

Elevator Spotlight
Shining a light on accomplishments throughout Elevation Nation
Elevation Nation hit a huge milestone this month. We flew out to Chicago to work with some of the brightest young students at Prospect High School in partnership with their National Honor Society. Elevation Nation hosted two workshops for young people titled "Cement Your Legacy" & "Start Your Next Journey".We can't thank PHS administration and Elevator no. 20, John Camardella enough for this incredible opportunity. We absolutely loved working with and inspiring the next generation of Elevators. At the end of each workshop, we helped the students of PHS craft their very own Mental Mottos, helping spread the #mentalmotto movement to even more Elevators! Here's to many more speaking opportunities to come!
