This Week:
Join us to hear from Jeffery Johnston, Founder & CEO of Brightn, an app designed to empower individuals to improve their mental wellness through optimizing the intersections of health, wealth and purpose. “We are an ai -powered mental wellness planning app launched in 2023. The passion was born from the loss of my son, Seth to fentanyl in 2016 at the age of 23 and five years later my wife, Prudence from alcohol (grief). Three weeks after Seth passed his daughter was born. Her name is Brighton. This is my why.”
The three takeaways our attendees will walk away with:
1) A deeper understanding of how one person struggling in a family can impact the entire family
2) Ways to empower and inspire changes in behavior, with ai, to have positive outcomes in daily life
3) Being in service of others will help improve meaning and purpose and I will show you how and why

About 1 Million Cups Cedar Rapids
The Kauffman Foundation developed 1 Million Cups (1MC) on the notion that entrepreneurs discover solutions and network over a million cups of coffee. We welcome early-stage businesses and established companies facing interesting challenges to present their companies. Typically, one or several representatives present before a panel of experts. They seek advice and then engage the audience in a question-and-answer session to encourage collaborative and honest conversations. We also feature expert speakers, founder fireside interviews, and explorations of business failures and the lessons learned!
