Who is Paragon for?
Founders of founder-led firms in high-trust, high-stakes industries—luxury real estate, interior design, law, private client services, wealth management, and more. Whether you’re building a premium service, experience, or product, if you created the brand and carry the weight of both the vision and the results, Paragon is for you.
What is DRIVEN?
DRIVEN is a boutique advisory for high-performance founders with a distinct neurotype. Variants in dopamine receptor genes DRD2 and DRD4 correspond to elevated drive, reduced dopamine sensitivity, and a need for structured systems. DRIVEN designs lifestyle operating systems required to sustain top 2% performance in body, brand, and business.
What distinguishes each tier?
All Paragon tiers follow the same foundational structure. Each level adds greater access, personalization, and strategic pressure—culminating in Reserve, which includes all prior benefits plus full biometric integration and concierge-level support.
Can I choose my tier?
You may indicate a preference, but final placement is determined through your Paragon Performance Assessment, internal review, and interview with a DRIVEN Guide. Tiers are based on your stage of business, bandwidth, and advisory requirements.
What does my membership include?
Each tier grants access to DRIVEN frameworks, case studies, and performance sprints. Higher tiers include direct advising designed to accelerate clarity and execution, strategic brand audits, and personalized performance protocols. All members receive access to DRIVEN events, with tiered benefits ranging from curated sessions to closed-door gatherings and preferred seating at select experiences.
Is this confidential?
Yes, all engagements are covered under a mutual non-disclosure agreement (MNDA). Your data, diagnostics, and advising sessions remain strictly private.
What is the commitment?
Paragon is a yearlong performance partnership divided into four quarterly sprints—each aligned to DRIVEN’s seasonally-aligned cadence of key brand and business growth drivers. We do not offer short-term engagements or monthly memberships. The model is designed for founders who understand that performance compounds over time.
What does “Guide” mean in this context?
A DRIVEN Guide is a strategist, sounding board, and mirror—someone who brings structure, discernment, and accountability to high-performing individuals already in motion. We don’t motivate. We calibrate.
Can my team participate?
Paragon is designed specifically for founders who are the face of the brand and the force behind its performance. You are the culture carrier—the one who embodies a DRIVEN high-performance lifestyle and sets the standard for the brand’s team and clientele. For team advising inquiries, please submit a request via the Contact page.
How do I apply?
The application process begins by joining the Paragon Waitlist. Based on your responses, we’ll evaluate fit and invite qualified founders to a private interview to determine tier placement and next steps.
