Conversations are how human beings share stories, and stories are how we co-create meaning and socially construct our reality. Our current world reflects the conversations that have already occurred, and the stories we “bought” into – with the currencies of our minds, our hearts, our time and our wallets, which have shaped our beliefs.
The Most Important Conversations is an organization focused on facilitating the conversations that shape the beliefs needed to support a thriving humanity that is in harmony with itself and with the life-world it is a part of. Our work is to activate your creative potential. Through intentional and artfully designed conversations, we help shape new beliefs that create new behaviors, possibilities and outcomes for you, your community and the wider world.
To achieve this we help unlock the creativity, innovation and self-mastery of our members; activating new possibilities for a new age. We accomplish this through our exclusive reProgramming, MIC Salons, DesignSummits, and through our podcast.
“Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying”
The Most Important Conversations podcast is a network of shows and hosts covering a variety of different topics germane to human thriving at this inflection point in human history. Featuring futurist thought leaders and luminaries, the podcast has shows that cover business, leadership and entrepreneurialism, wellness and regenerative medicine, sex and relationships, as well as our own unique body of work in the area of being, creativity, meaning-making and design. The intention of the podcast is to facilitate rich conversations, share stories and build bridges between differing worldviews to assist in new co-created meaning experiences that uplift and improve peoples’ lives.

MIC Salons are by-invitation-only TMIC events where we convene and curate luminaries, thought leaders, business leaders, investors, creators, artists, philosophers and elders to reimagine the systems and structures that define our reality. Think of them as a modern salon meets mastermind model; an incubator for the creation and activation of new ideas and the networking of people into collaborative communities.
Each event has a central theme, around which we holistically integrate ontology, design-thinking and creativity to artfully facilitate deep and meaningful conversations, imagine new stories, and co-create what’s possible.
Virtual MIC Salons occur bi-weekly, and are included in your monthly TMIC membership. Those attending are encouraged to invite at least two guests, allowing the guest to participate for no extra fee for the first month they attend. In 2026 we will continue our online Salons, but will also expand them into physical space, held once-a-month in cities around the world. Our in-person Salons will have an additional fee, discounted for TMIC members.
“Changed My Life”
“Working with Chad and TMIC changed my life. Everything changed - and I mean everything. As an Olympic Silver medalist and world champion at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic games, I should have been on top of the world. Instead, I was in an incredibly dark, deep depression with no light at the end of the tunnel. After working with Chad and TMIC consistently… I’m making significantly more money, and providing a positive impact on the people around me.”

“I’ve been a member of Whole Life Architecture, and it has been exceptional… a true turning point for me”
With the insight and support of Chad Lefevre and the supportive community, I’ve reached long-held goals, including the launch of my website and the deepening of my practice as a certified Neurosculpting® facilitator. I’ve now logged over 1,800 hours leading live guided meditations and creating an extensive library of offerings.
Much of this growth stemmed from one powerful reveal in class around my fears—and the way Chad and a fellow member met it with wisdom and generosity.

“Taught Me How to Fully and Unapologetically Embrace My Perceptions with Less Fear”
I've been committed to personal development for about the past 20 years. I don't engage in any personal development activities unless I have personally made a commitment to unbundle the teachings. TMIC has become part of something that's very important to me. It's taught me how to fully and unapologetically embrace my perceptions with less fear. It's scary to go into some of these dark holes,

“A Perfect Way for Me to Really Refine Where I'm Coming from in My Life and Really Think about Who I Want to Be”
TMIC has been a perfect way for me to really refine where I'm coming from in my life and really think about who I want to be, and who I am being, and is it really who I want to be? Am I really showing up within my full range of capabilities, with my full potential? It's led me to feel far more at ease in my life because of the kind of results that I'm experiencing through the suggested inquiries, within the workshops every week. I'm more able to line up with who I feel I really am,

“You Just Suddenly Realize Your World is So Much Bigger and Your VISTA is Huge”
TMIC is just first of all an awesome idea, and it's coming at the perfect time when so many people are feeling restless and want more, and don't know how to find it. It's perfect because it gives you something to work on week by week, and you just start slowly escalating, and escalating and escalating, and you just suddenly realize your world is so much bigger and your VISTA is huge. It's just completely different from what you had done before, and it's all pretty easily explained and presented.

“The Beginning of an Awakening, which has No End, No Certificate, No Box, No Boundaries”
I had no idea what was to occur, but I embraced the fear and excitement of the unknown and upcoming challenges. I am accustomed to facing fear head on having had a career in the Olympic sport of Bobsledding. This is the beginning of an awakening, which has no end, no certificate, no box, no boundaries. It is an ongoing process of being the best version of yourself, which is simply to be.

Chad's teaching style is natural and in the moment…discerns the underlying issue at hand.
The Whole Life Architecture program takes a deep dive into the matters that truly matter in this world. It is necessary to examine why we do what we do, how we make our decisions, and how we wish to focus our lives. Once you do this deep work of dissecting the self, you can build the best life you envision for yourself. Being in this class has helped bring the space and structure to a process I resonate with. This program has helped guide my path through the last few years of changes

Through each of these forums we convene, converse and collaborate creatively with luminaries, thought leaders, business leaders, investors, artists, makers, philosophers and elders. Each TMIC facilitated interaction serves as a container to co-create new stories, new meaning and to reimagine what’s possible in terms of the systems and structures that define and constitute our lived reality. You can think of us as a creativity incubator, assisting members with reCreating their entire life’ s story by-design.
The winds of change are blowing fiercely today – we all feel it. New conversations, new stories and new co-created meaning is required to meet this moment. Each conversation invites participants into new paradigms of possibility for how we live, learn, work, connect, and evolve. The power of stories is not in question. The only question is whether through our stories we are intentionally co-creating our reality and world by-design; and whether what is co-created is what’s truly possible to facilitate human thriving.
Our work occurs one conversation, one story, and one activated creator and story-teller at a time. We invite you to join our community; to collaborate in the creation and design of a new unfolding story of humanity, of which you are an instrumental part. We’re not just talking about transformation—we’re creating it. Will you empower yourself to meet this moment, and join us?
The nature, rate and complexity of this moment of change is dramatic and exponential; possibly existential, depending on our collective choices. At this moment innovation is not enough. On every level – individual, cultural, economic, political and environmental – we are in the midst of a global paradigm shift that demands new, creative solutions.
As AI takes over many of the “doing” tasks in organizations, creative thinking combined with mastery around the Art of Conversation will drive this new economy. People will be rewarded for their ability to create with each other, and with AI, to deliver new products, services, and solutions to our fast changing world. Humans will need to step back from our conditioning to be “doers”, and into our innate, yet forgotten power as creators. Whatever you want to create – whether products, services, art, or your very life – being a creator begins with your beliefs.
Paradigm shifts produce various conditions. To address these conditions we must creatively and collaboratively to seek the root problems manifesting them, and work together to create solutions instead of reacting to the conditions being experienced from change. This begins with addressing the level of our awareness, the nature and quality of our thinking, followed by the sharing of ideas through conversations in a way that produces solutions at the level of high art and design, such that our solutions are regenerative. This means our solutions produce alignment and aliveness in ourselves, in each other, and align with principles that regenerate and activate natures’ thriving.
