Dear Dr. Steve,

Four years ago, we left our stable careers to start a gratitude movement. What began as a physical Gratitude Wall in Tel Aviv and a cross country Grateful Bus trip across the U.S. to sell digital art evolved into something we never imagined—150+ Evenings of Gratitude across 6 cities, 400+ physical experiences, 15,000 attendees, and a curated community of 1,000 Grateful Giraffes.

We've hiked mountains at sunrise, hosted biohacking safaris, thrown sober dance parties, and sat in ceremony under the stars. We've laughed, cried, and watched incredible friendships and partnerships form. Through it all, one truth became crystal clear: human connection is not just nice to have—it's essential for our survival and flourishing.

The Oasis is our answer to that truth. It's a home for this community—a place where the magic we've co-created together can grow, deepen, and scale. With Gigi, our AI companion, we're building something unprecedented: a gratitude-centered community that combines the warmth of human connection with the intelligence of technology.

Everything we build together—every practice, every connection, every insight—can now be shared with the world. This is bigger than any one of us. It's a movement toward a more grateful, connected, and flourishing humanity.

We're so grateful you're here.

With love and gratitude,
Max & Julian
