Hi! Welcome to the Upgraded Us blog! We’re a small company that wants to impact personal development. Through this blog, we want to build and inspire a community that is as excited about growth and contribution as we are. We’ve never blogged before, but we’re committed to learning and improving. We’re excited to begin sharing our best thoughts about personal development with you and invite you to follow us on our journey to become better teachers and writers! Thanks for your patience as we work out the kinks, find our voice, and improve at providing value to our readers.

In this blog, we’ll share our insights about personal development with the hope that we can provide honest, relevant thoughts, stories, tips, and discussion points to help you to grow toward your ideal self.

Personal development provides deeply personal chances to reflect, learn, and grow. But sometimes, it can be difficult to know just how to approach it. We know because we’ve been there ourselves. Upgraded Us was founded by Sam and Decker, who were feeling a little lost after they graduated from college. Through reading, learning about self-development and goal-setting, and discussing what we wanted to do with our lives, we started a business built on helping others achieve their goals.

We at Upgraded Us work to provide thoughtful, practical products that help our customers make progress on their own paths of personal development. We believe that personal development can serve as a gateway to better connect yourself with your own goals but can also serve to inspire and connect with others. For years, we’ve been product designers and makers. Now, we will explore creating meaningful content that improves the lives of others.  

Here are our contributors:

Dylan

Hey, world. My name is Dylan. I am a student, meditator, traveler, and all-around-all-around guy. I aim to be a person who aims to serve everyone and believe every day gifts me a new opportunity to move towards this goal. I like big ideas and visions and hope that you reading this might receive some enjoyment or inspiration from these self-proclaimed big ideas.

Sam

I’m Sam, one of the co-founders of Upgraded Us, and I’m glad you’re here! With this blog (and everything we do), we aim to provide value to others and make life better. Because we’re all busy, I try to keep things actionable and to the point. I strive to be a better person and to contribute my best to the world around me. Through lots of reading and experiments, I’ve identified tools and ideas that work for me. I’ll be sharing them through this blog in the hopes that they work for you too.

Decker

Hi, I’m Decker, the other co-founder of Upgraded Us. I enjoy making products that help people grow and connect and hope to translate this into a meaningful blog. I like to learn new things and often get lost in the research side of what we do at Upgraded Us, so I’m looking forward to sharing what I learn with you too.

We hope that this first post finds you well and that this is the beginning of an epic new journey. Stay tuned for weekly posts about living better and being more. Thank you for being here!

Let’s grow together!
