Education is more than academics. Today's student-to-counselor ratio of 400:1 creates a critical guidance gap that disproportionately impacts underserved communities, limiting potential and widening opportunity divides. In our rapidly evolving world, students need more than just knowledge—they need the conative skills to transform that knowledge into purposeful action.

Research demonstrates that developing conation—the intentional component of mind that connects knowledge and emotions to action—can transform personal, academic, and professional trajectories. While schools recognize this need, most lack the resources to implement effective personal development at scale.

The Enjoyable Pain of Growth (EPOG) Academy exists to make personal development an essential part of education. Our mission is to provide effective, sustainable, and scalable interventions that measurably enhances student achievement and wellbeing through AI-powered coaching. By utilizing AI, we are able to increase accessibility to high quality coaching to underserved communities

Through our POWER Platform, we provide personalized, on-demand coaching that inspires and equips students to realize their Purpose, Ownership, Wisdom, Execution, and Resilience—empowering them to overcome obstacles, understand themselves, and take control of their futures.
