Mission Statement

Progress Theory is an organization built with the mission of helping as many people as possible create positive change in their lives. I believe through education, community reinforcement, and systematic refinement over time, Progress Theory will become a resource that any person can use to create deliberate growth and increase the fulfillment they experience within their lives. By utilizing systems, community data, and consistent feedback, I believe that every member of Progress Theory can come together to create refined, proven strategies for creating positive human transformation.

Meet the Founder

My name is Garret Stevenson and I am the founder of Progress Theory. This organization and the mission behind it is a result of my experiences struggling with addiction, self-destruction, and depression. For many years, I had a clear image in my head of the person I wanted to be and the life I wanted to create for myself, yet I continuously allowed my impulses, weakness, and fear to derail my efforts, limit my growth, and widen the gap between who I was and who I wanted to become. After years of failure, I gave up entirely. My health and fitness plummeted, my finances collapsed, and my addictive behavior drove me to the brink of suicide. I spent more than a year feeling completely lost, broken, and hopeless, and felt completely powerless in my ability to turn my life around.

Over the last few years, I have devoted myself to the process of repairing my life and understanding the mechanics behind both human transformation and human wellbeing. I started as a man with horrible physical health who was drowning in debt and cyclically engaging in extremely destructive behavior, and have gradually built myself a solid foundation regarding my physiological health, financial resources, and behavioral consistency. In my attempts to turn my life around, I have come to believe that my experience with addiction, self-destruction, and mental illness can be analyzed and integrated in a way that allows me to help other people facing similar struggles. By no means do I have all the answers. This company and its systems/theories about human transformation and wellbeing are in their early stages, but I believe through continual refinement over time they can be universally valuable to any person seeking to create radical growth and transformation in his or her life.
