We didn't have enough money to volunteer anymore...
The Early Years
Our founder Dana Friesen enjoyed life, the outdoors, and, more than anything, the opportunity to help good people. Unfortunately, he found, like most other socially conscious people, that he didn't have enough money to make an impact. Or at least the impact he desired.
Five years into traveling and volunteering full-time, he met the love of his life Julia. A fantastic, intelligent life partner who had been living overseas volunteering. Together in 2001, they founded Summit as an intentional Social Enterprise built to fund their giving.
In order to leave enough time to give to society, all companies they purchased and built together were engineered for the highest possible profit and the lowest possible time and energy investment.
Consulting Starts
Very soon, their work building millions in revenue part-time put them on the radar of several successful business people. Two of the world's most accomplished business minds decided to generously mentor, refine, and hone their abilities to create transformation in businesses, organizations, and non-profits. It was at this point some of the world's most respected leaders and brands started using Summit to Achieve their goals. As a small family-owned consultancy, they serviced everyone from Fortune 500 clients to major universities and hospitals.
A New Science Was Needed
It became clear to the Friesens that there was a gap in the current models of education and transformation. One that was severely limiting society's ability to grow and innovate. Julia, against all common sense, supported Dana in investing every penny they had worked for into scientific research to solve this gap. Tens of thousands of hours, 3600 textbooks, and countless papers later, the Summit Science System was completed. A simple, repeatable way to help people and organizations become the best versions of themselves.
Tomorrow's Solutions Today
Our clients have referred to the Summit Sciences System as an academic time machine, a system for finding tomorrow's solutions today! Our current focus is to use this system to help find and operationalize the trauma recovery, wellness, and economical solutions society needs in the new normal.
The Summit Sciences System
The Summit system took over 20 years, tens of thousands of hours, and millions invested in research to assemble. The key focus of this time and research is on how to give someone the benefit of another’s life experience. In effect, researching how to help people learn from society’s experiences and mistakes. We use this system to combine the experience of humanity and use it to help support the people who are changing the world.
