MC² is a global well-being network that began on 17 July 2025 from New Zealand.

Vision

There can be many networks in the world, and this one starts with me, “MC”.

MC² will contain the exponential energy of all I love and know.

MC² is a remote-first network that will have a physical presence of members around the world.

The Parihoa Network will be the NZ chapter of MC² and will initially anchor around Parihoa, my property, which will also be the global lodge of MC².

Goals

MC² has many aims, including:

Create an engaged well-being talent network capped at 1 million people.
Take a “whole human” approach to talent: career + life.
Be multi-generational, of all ages, walks of life, and locations.
Ensure everyone feels “always connected” and never alone.
Develop a private platform for the network.
Reduce reliance on conventional social media.

Talent

The philosophy of MC² is to create a global well-being network that helps to also create the future global well-being profession.

At the center, MC² Search will manage an ongoing pool of 500 Chief Wellbeing Officer candidates for new-age leaders who want well-being at the center of their creation.

The CWO space, in 2025, is still embryonic but will be high-growth toward 2050.

The creation of MC² will pioneer a whole-human approach to well-being talent management that takes into account not just what we do for our professional careers but also our lives.

Cadence

MC² started on 17 July 2025 and culminates with the beginning of my 50th year of life.

Each month, as I do this lap around the sun, I will do a monthly public update on the 17th of each month on the progress of MC².

Initial members of MC² are currently being added and invited around the world.

Simultaneously, the Parihoa Network is beginning as the NZ chapter of MC².

And the Edge of the World collective is commencing in the South Island of NZ.

Members of each network receive a private weekly update and are soon to be connected into daily streams to be “always connected.”

Remote

MC² is a remote network, recognizing in 2025 that with advances in technology and globalization, we can be connected anywhere.

Talent in the network, across the world, will converge in common locations where they live, work, or holiday.

New Zealand will be the country headquarters of well-being for MC².

MC² and the Parihoa Network will use my property, Parihoa, in New Zealand as the central lodge and retreat space for select numbers who will be invited.

Multi-generational

MC² will consist of members from all walks of life and all ages.

MC² will be inclusive in welcoming positive perspectives from all who contribute to the vision.

Ultimately, MC² will be a network of many professions, locations, and life skills.

While I will initially lead the network—since it’s kicked off by me—leadership will quickly decentralize across specialty groups and centers of expertise.

New-Age

MC² will represent a new-age collective of progressive thinkers who see that well-being is the most important talent area to focus on for the future.

A new-age perspective implies blue-sky thinking on:

How we will work
- More portfolio-based versus working for one company.
- Hybrid and remote working increasing.
- Greater well-being-centricity on how we balance work and life.
How we will connect
- Rapid rise in technology and AI.
- Globally dispersed but interconnected.
- More open-minded on multi-generational attributes.
The growth of the well-being profession
- A new specialization beyond HR and business roles covering well-being.
- Heightened awareness of the healing potential of well-being experts.
- More leaders and creators valuing well-being in new concepts.
