We thought to ourselves: “How can we ensure those who are talented but may not have a platform to showcase their talent or expertise gain exposure?” That is when “Pitch” was created. Pitch, at its inception, was the idea that there are many people in society who are talented but may never reach their full potential due to lack of access or opportunity to showcase their talent because they may never get through the front door.
Chase asked a simple question: “why is it that we don’t know each other’s best friends?” That simple question led to introductions of our two friend groups. Introductions occurred, and relationships were built that are still maintained to this day. As part of our development of Cohort, we individually interviewed six friends and asked them what their life’s purpose was. It was no surprise that each of them indicated they wanted to positively influence the lives of others. It was then that we knew Cohort could be special.
We created the Skill Tree™ and Professional Relationship Index™, then built out the infrastructure for various cohorts. Throughout the year, we began finding more opportunities to coach and develop our peers by supporting them in expanding their access to opportunities, enhancing their earning potential, and further aligning their passions into their daily lives.
We actively began integrating all of the Cohort tools and services into our everyday lives through:
Our mentors help us gain our initial footing by supporting students in high school and college through local programs that would cater to the student’s summer break and academic year. From the feedback and reflection sessions from the Cohort Group Internship Programs, we developed the Purpose Practicum from these lessons, which would now serve as the launch pad for new members to join Cohort. Shortly after, we had the privilege to launch The Cohort Group LLC to the public to begin impacting the lives of others on a greater scale and to welcome you to the Cohort.
