Each year in the fall we take a team retreat up to the North Shore of Lake Superior to reset, reflect and reconnect. Some years we are well planned others have been impromptu. This year we saw a tiny gap in our crazy workload and we shot it. Getting away from the grind makes you keenly aware that “work” is a funny thing. It is something you need to do it to pay the bills, but it also is something closely tied to your identity, purpose, relationships and is literally one of the things you will do most in your life from a time standpoint. This means to me that cultivating a strong team and running effectively with other humans you have the responsibility to make it more than just a transaction. There are seasons where work can just be work and that is fine, there is a lot to learn in the mundane, but it is important to clear your head and heart - get out in the grandness of raw nature with each other and realign. Thanks to Starlink we were able to keep things moving in the background, but also disciplined ourselves to smack shut the laptops as soon as we could each morning. #livehonest by @honest.studios
This Wednesday was the official launch of Legatum Foundations 4th collaborative philanthropic fund called Resilio Fund. It took place in Dubai at the breathtaking Museum of the Future. Because the future of crisis response is local. This is why Honest Studios exists - to elevate ideas that are changing the world. We have been working with Legatum for over a year and we had the honor of naming the fund, architecting the brand identity, producing their vision book, vision video, animation logic video, website, and all that went into their launch event in Dubai at Museum of the Future! Legatum’s philanthropic work is world-class. Their previous funds @the_endfund @the_freedom_fund @luminosfund are all pioneering global leaders in their respective areas. Now adding Resilio Fund to their portfolio of collaborative funds they have founded is an incredible next step. It has been an honor to work closely with Legatum and we want to congratulate them on a beautiful, full event and securing well beyond their target in initial funding for the first year. All of this work goes to center local community leaders in times of disaster and crisis. A more full case study coming soon! For now enjoy a couple photos from the launch event!

Relationships matter.  If you are being inundated with content on your social media about getting rich quick, missing out on the next crypto rally, or whatever other pie-in-the-sky fantasy culture is trying to hook your attention with remember this: It is actually the people closest to you who are your greatest treasure and how you treat them over the long haul is one of your predictors of success. Business in many ways is out of your control. You cannot control markets, pandemics, inflation, your staff, the weather, your health, your competition, and on and on. What you CAN control is how you commit to your core values come hell or high water, how you take care of yourself, and how you show up for your people. #relationshipsmatter #honeststudios by @honest.studios
Big congratulations to our long time friends and partners @pulse.evangelism and @nickhallpulse on their successful @amplifyfestar event!

Last year when Legatum Foundation asked us if Honest Studios would partner with them in launching their 4th collaborative global humanitarian fund we were thrilled and honored! It is called the Resilio Fund. Here is a note from Legatum Foundations President Guy Cave about Resilio Fund: Legatum has long believed in the power of collaborative philanthropy and the importance of getting resources to communities while respecting their agency and dignity – the Resilio Fund is being set up to embody this in how the world responds to humanitarian crises. Resilio Fund is the fourth collaborative Fund that Legatum has launched, and it builds on the success of the The END Fund, The Freedom Fund, and Luminos Fund. Resilio Fund’s approach channels grants to local NGOs, which in turn give trust-based micro-grants to grassroots community groups who are already taking action to help their community after a disaster. Resilio Fund champions trust, flexibility, and proximity, and acknowledges the capacity and courage of communities to respond to their own needs, and supports them with the resources to do so effectively. We at Honest Studios are partnering with Legatum to bring Resilio Fund to market and have facilitated the naming of the fund, developed their core messaging, brand identity and style guide, prospectus book, vision video, animation video, pitch deck, and are supporting their launch at Museum of the Future in Dubai this fall. More to come on this project soon. #honeststudios #resiliofund #legatum #comingsoon by @honest.studios
This year has been a BLUR so much going on and we’ve been so bad about posting! Gonna try to change that. Major shout out to this legend - David Nanda for his relentless work ethic and dedication. We don’t glorify the grind for the sake of the grind around here, life is not about being a workaholic, but we know first hand the necessity of delivering with excellence and the drive that requires. #brandsthatwork #strategicpartners #livehonest #honeststudios #northloopmpls by @honest.studios

We are excited to announce David Nanda as our new Creative Director at Honest Studios! 🙌🏼🔥 David has been a pillar on our team and going into 2025 we are thrilled to have his creative leadership in full force! “I have personally been working with David since 2014 and have seen in him the character, tenacity, passion, commitment, taste and discernment necessary to represent Honest Studios and serve as our Creative Director.” - Jeremy Bardwell, Co-Founder & CEO Here are some words from David about this new season for him: Creative direction has become my life’s fascination. I could argue creativity is one of the most underestimated and undervalued aspects of life—not just in business, or branding, but as a part of the human experience. Becoming a Creative Director was a dream of mine since I first fell in love with branding almost 10 years ago. I’ve only become more and more fascinated by the influence of creativity each year since. I’ve studied it officially and have built my career around it, but my love for creativity is deepend most of all when I’m not supposed to be working. Occupying my mind daily—constantly critiquing, constantly inspired, screen-shotting and concepting—whether film or fashion—music, photography, color, typography, poetry, strategy, beauty, emotion, balance—the fusion, collision and harmony of artforms of all kinds I am hooked on the endlessness of what’s possible. I believe a part of my purpose is to explore this endlessness. To better understand and capture its power and influence, and to use it to activate and inspire. I believe art and creativity is God’s gift to humanity as a means to change the world. Honored to be a part of the incredible story of Honest Studios. I’ve been shaped by this community. The past 5 years Honest has allowed me to live out my calling to create, build brands, support and activate those who are changing the world. It truly feels like the start of a new season, I can’t wait to see what we get to create. Join us in celebrating David and this new season for Honest! by @honest.studios
