"Hans is a thorough and kind mentor and business coach. He gave me guidance last year while I was working on a book as well as growing my new business. He goes above and beyond to make sure you feel confident on your path. Hans also educated me about trends in the business world with changing technology so I could better prepare for my future. The whole time he was incredibly passionate and genuine. I could tell he genuinely loves his work and cares about the people he coaches. I highly recommend working with him!”

"Today, I'm celebrating a significant milestone - one year of pursuing my dreams full-time. This journey wouldn't have been possible without the unwavering support and guidance of my extraordinary mentor, Hans Hageman

Our paths crossed in February 2022, when I shared my vision of addressing the education gap for minority youth, emphasizing the importance of holistic life skills to build emotional resilience in a world often designed to perpetuate pain.

One of the first things Hans made explicitly clear was, "You can't do your 9-5 and run this company. You just can't. What's your exit strategy?" That initial shock and doubt fueled my determination to make my dreams a physical part of reality.

Through our partnership, I've discovered that a great mentor not only provides a safe accessible space for asking tough questions but also, excels at elegantly delivering hard truths as opportunities. And, they open doors, you didn't see coming.

Hans is more than a mentor; he's a trailblazer in leadership, unafraid to break the rules and never sugar-coat the truth🐐

As the Founder and Executive Director of Higher Ground for Humanity, I've secured four grants, funded a summer camp, and an after-school program, and created a nutritional wellness festival for low to no-income families living in one of the most expensive cities in the United States- my hometown Los Angeles. For the first time in my life, I find profound fulfillment in my everyday work.

Thank you, Hans, for consistently embodying authenticity and integrity. You not only inspire me, but, everyone fortunate enough to be in your presence. It's an honor to have you as a pillar of support in my journey."
