About Cortex Evolution

Why We're "Self-improving, Together"

Our History

Cortex Evolution, LLC began in late 2019 when I became one of the first Certified Learning and Memory Coaches through Superhuman Academy. After that, I became a brain coach and helped many growth-minded professionals increase their cognitive and behavioral skills. But in the past couple of years, I’ve become painfully aware of the problems caused by digital “brain rot” and have begun building a team and a movement to reclaim our digital and mental freedom.

The Problems We Solve

Even for psychologists, positive behavior change is hard. Slow progression, no progression, and regression often lead to deep pain and frustration, as you’ve probably experienced. People consistently fail to change their behavior for the better, especially when they try to do it all alone or when they follow bloated self-help advice not founded on sound scientific research showing what actually works.

Our Mission

Our mission is to educate, empower, and connect one million growth-minded people in order to cultivate greater personal and societal growth, success, and happiness. I strive to positively impact the world by changing individuals through neuroscience-based coaching and behavioral change programs and through a community where people passionate about self-improvement learn from an expert and from each other how to better learn, think, and act. As our slogan states, we’re “self-improving, together!”
