You may wonder why “Paradox” Nation,
That’s a great a question and you may guess by yourself reading until the end,
But we you’ll give you the answer
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 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.

we change people’s lives, shift their mindset,
and help them achieve their goals faster.

That we are greater than what we think
That we deserve to have an amazing life
Everything we do is to make people proud of themselves at the end of their life.
A great workplace combines
exceptional colleagues and inspiring challenges.
Our version of the great workplace is a team of people
who are extraordinary at what they do
in pursuit of ambitious common goals.
It is on such a team that you learn the most, perform your best work,
improve the fastest, and have the most fun
A lot of people just go to work waiting for the end of the week
We want you to be fulfilled
and have the feeling of doing something meaningful
Because you are contributing to something much bigger than yourself
Because you do what you love and do it great.
It’s more than a job it’s about…

Remote collective cohesion
Once a month everyone stops and confronts the werewolf
or challenge each other to do sports or mediation together.
Will you be able to impress us (without cheating) ?
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 moment together
Laughing, clarifying the vision, sharing our new goals
that’s why we organise an…
Amazing Annual Retreat
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 understand now 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 prefers 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

Marc Simoncini
Founder of Meetic
We are so thankful for the time they all have given us
we learned so much…
but we faced a problem
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 leaded 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 to make it part of our DNA
And we didn’t expect what would happened in doing
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 about how people changed their lives
Our Dreams were realised but…
Deeply we knew there were something greater to do
It was time to explore something new
We sat and discussed (not just once but for 1 year)
We ask ourselves if the dream was about doing just the same but bigger…
But it was not…
2019
We decided to create new brands
That go behond David ( our founder )
Our 3 new brands
PARADOXNATION

self Mastery
It’s a movement
An app in order to HACK how to make people
crush their weekly goals. And as a consequence create for
themselves the life that truly inspires them
It’s a community of people making progress together

Maybe a last word of someone who
live the Paradox Nation culture
So finally Why Paradox Nation ?
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 statuquo 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 usual personal development industry messages of Wouh Wouh and Happy World, and not much grounded.
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 statuquo and pursue what they are truly inspired by and not what seem 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
