The Catalyst Project exists because personal development shouldn't require an army of coaches, therapists, and advisors. AI can be your personal Chief of Staff.
Like most engineers, I spent years optimizing systems at work while neglecting the most important system of all—myself. I had spreadsheets for everything except my own life.
The breaking point came when I realized I was crushing it professionally but barely functioning in every other dimension. Health declining. Relationships strained. No sense of purpose beyond the next deadline.
I started building tools to track everything—mood, sleep, relationships, finances, meaning. The data was eye-opening. But data alone wasn't enough. I needed something that could connect the dots, identify patterns, and tell me what to actually do.
That's when Claude came into the picture. Suddenly I had an AI that could read my journal, understand my goals, and give me personalized recommendations based on actual research—not generic productivity advice from some influencer.
The Catalyst is what I wish I had five years ago. It's the personal development system built by someone who actually needed it.
We believe lasting change comes from building systems, not relying on willpower. Engineer your environment for success.
Every recommendation is grounded in research. No woo-woo, no hype—just interventions that have been proven to work.
If it can be automated, it should be. We build tools that do the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters.
Mind, Body, Heart, Wealth, Spirit. True flourishing requires balance across all dimensions of life.
Information without action is useless. Every insight comes with a clear next step you can take right now.
We show our work. Open about our methods, honest about limitations, and clear about what we know vs. what we're testing.
