Defy the status quo
You may wonder why “Paradox” ?
That’s a great question and you may guess by yourself reading until the end,
To give you a glimpse it’s a lot more than just a cool name
Paradox aims to make education, psychology and coaching
as attractive as watching Netflix or going to Tomorrowland
through mobile apps, e-learning, events and a strong presence on social networks.
We deliver inspiring and educational storytelling and experiences
to our audience of smart, curious, ambitious people.
We believe that many people don’t have the life they could have.
Often due to a lack of strategies or a tendency to conform to the social norm.
But first let’s talk about YOU
You strive for excellence ?
But you are also Friendly and a critical thinker ? Let’s talk.
We don’t want your “best” day to be Friday
Wake up each morning with meaning
Paradox is built around one belief
That we are greater than what we think
That we deserve to have an amazing life
Our mission

And live the life that truly inspire them

That’s why we provide those who dare dream big with the strategies, the tools and the
inspiration to live their ambition and somehow shape the world in doing so.
Our VISION How we want to see the world tomorrow

OUR VIBE The way we want to realize our vision
At Paradox, we create Awe for people
We start by pondering on what is the next crazy thing to accomplish
Then we rely on one obsession : create wonder, astonishment,
And make people say “wow” by giving them what they have never seen before.
That’s why you’ll hear often “that’s not badass enough yet”

We want to create masterpieces
And shake the common ways in our industry

We hope to one day serve billions of people.
It’s not a job for us, it’s about…

We believe fun is part of making extraordinary things.
But it’s not for everyone….

Our Story…
From nothing… to a good beginning
(Yes because it’s just the beginning!
That’s why we may need you)
At first they laughed at us and that was hard
in a way, we now understand that we needed to work and improve
We did it and it payed off…
That was fun…
We challenged ourselves to book the prestigious
Theatre Espace Pierre Cardin
At Champ-Elysees Paris
2014 The huge milestone
Pasino Aix En Provence
For us renting and filling a venue that big
for 2 hours was a huge milestone
But It was a mess…
4 people to register everyone was a struggle,
we were 45 minutes late to start the show
(We realised we wanted to grow a little bit too fast
That was challenging but we made it together).
200 entrepreneurs came to grow their businesses
2015 We dreamt of renting the Eiffel Tower
It seemed Impossible, but we did it
2018 we did it again but for a 3-day event
This time we nailed it !
It was smooth
This time we nailed it !
It was smooth
The TEAM VIDEO DOING HIS MAGIC 😉
Events are for us a great and important moment
We are together and build something together,
We meet our clients, and do everything to make them Smile
We challenge ourselves, and finish exhausted but we like that!
Maybe because we celebrate together
with a good Pizza at the end
Vegetarian or fruit juices for some 😉
Others prefer champagne 😉
Meanwhile we realised…
We were fed-up of all the non-sense theories that discredit our industry
(Not grounded, fantasies, get rich quick, 0 effort theories…)
That is why…
We wanted to learn from the best
and share their strategies

Gary Vee
Highly respected entrepreneur
We are so thankful for the time they have all given us
we learned so much…
but we faced a problem
in the process of sharing what we learned
because we were accepting a wrong and too common assumption
the more knowledge you share, the better
the more complex and abstract it is, the prouder you feel
But the only metric we should care about is
how much people change
It led us to study what research says about pedagogy
and discovered that our brain is wired to learn only through
practice, group work, and stories
From that day we became obsessed with making it part of our DNA
And we didn’t expect what would happen in doing so
our Ted Talk became the most viewed French Ted Talk in the world
With more than 2,500,000 views
2,500,000 views
But you know what ?
Numbers are not our most important accomplishments
As you know now, what matters the most for us
is how people changed their lives
Our Dreams were realised but…
Deep down, we knew there was something greater to do
It was time to explore something new
We sat and discussed (not just once but for 1 year)
We asked ourselves if the dream was about doing just the same but bigger…
But it was not…
We decided to create new brands
That go beyond David ( our founder )
2019
We decided to create new brands

Remote by design
We are Remote Hackers
For us remote is not something that was imposed on us because of quarantine
but it was part of our culture by design from day 1.
So we always experiment new ways to make our remote life smoother and more fulfilling.
Some share together virtual social events and game nights.
Others challenge themselves in practicing sport or meditation.
To work from anywhere in the world is incredible, but we still need to share real moments together

a culture of performance and ambition is not for everyone

If so we prefer to save their time and the trouble of applying.

Maybe a last word of someone who
live the Paradox Nation culture
So finally Why Paradox ?
Paradox :
Para (Greek) : distinct from
Dox (Latin) : Opinion
Para dox : contrary to the accepted opinion
We believe mastery lies in paradox, in having the courage to challenge the status quo and finding your own way
We believe that doing what everybody agree on lead to mediocrity
Paradoxically doing the counter-intuitive things is often strategic
We challenge the status quo of the common messages of our personal development’s industry, which aren’t enough grounded and too “Woo Woo” or delusionnal for us.
We believe that Excellence become only possible in the mastery of the opposites
Ambition and Gratitude
Perseverance and Letting go
Challenge and support
Optimism and critical thinking…
We inspire people to take care of themselves, dare to challenge the status quo and pursue what they are truly inspired by and not what seams a great life.
We give the tools and everything people need to BE themselves and appreciate their past, their parents and their life.
We don’t give fantasies to our community but what truly change their life and they love us for that.
Paradox Nation is a lot more than a brand, it’s a movement
We are the people…who thrive for mastery and excellence
We are the people…who dare to pursue their ambition and appreciate their life along the way
We are the people…who aspire to be proud of themselves, to leave a mark and improve the world
We are Paradox Nation
