Being poor costs a lot of money. So does missing opportunities. But the biggest cost you pay is the price of “virtual” validation—over-eating, over-entertaining, and over-spending on material goods. And yet, none of those satisfy. Instead, they leave us empty, overweight, poor, and drained.
Are people that set boundaries happier? Are happy people better at setting boundaries? Both are true. If you spend more time putting out fires than the time you invest in activities that make you stronger and happier, then time is passing you by.
You don’t get a do-over with time.
How do we get more done and have more enjoyment in life? We need to influence and develop people around us to row in the same direction. It’s best then to align ourselves with people who want to go to the same destination. The key then is to find the right boat and influence the right people.
To reach your PIQ (/pēk/), sometimes you have to get out on The Edge. Sometimes you have to get uncomfortable to break unhealthy routines and habits so that you can then live with and enjoy greater comfort.
Join this unique email series from our founder, Dave Darby, and you’ll read and hear weekly lessons of how he overcame poverty, abuse, and insecurities to build a thriving life, family, and community legacy. He’ll leave you with breadcrumbs of how you can do the same in your life. This weekly email is FREE!
Our influences are rooted in the traditional social sciences of philosophy, psychology, sociology, and even economics. From the minds of Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, Alfred Adler, Abraham Maslow, Aristotle, BF Skinner, John Maynard Keynes, John Locke, Marcus Aurelius, and John Nash, our founder Dave Darby is adding new models that connect the workings (and trappings) of the human mind and neurotransmitters with socialized, regulated outcomes and game theory.
While rather academic in study and research, the delivery and lessons themselves are successful for one reason: a simplified delivery that anybody from any walk of life can relate to, understand, and execute.
Besides more time, money, and influence listed above, the families and individuals living high PIQ lifestyles also enjoy the following rewards:

“Dave is an incredible mentor, with skills in different scenarios of difficulties I was facing. His approach was extremely welcoming and made me open up and his mentoring style helped me figure out the best way forward for me. To date, Dave and I communicate regularly… I did not just discover an incredible soul, Dave is now part of my family. I recommend him to anyone out there seeking guidance or personal growth in their lives.”
“I have known Dave for at least seven years now and I can’t thank him enough for the impact he has made in my life and family. One of my biggest fears was to be stuck in a toxic relationship as I knew that would drain all my energy and happiness. My goal then was to build a happy, fulfilling and peaceful life, but I had no clue how to achieve it. I didn’t even know people who had that kind of life. At the time I thought I might be delusional. Then I met Dave and he spent a lot of time to help me work towards the life I needed, especially letting go all of the unnecessary baggage I had carried around with me for years. Dave helped me to recognize noise and taking steps to achieve the life that I dreamt of. Sometimes it feels that it’s too good to be true, even to me but trust me it’s very real—I now live it. There’s a reason why I call him “Master.”
“Dave came into our lives for just softball, for our oldest or so we thought. Little did we know just what an impact he was going to have on all of our lives outside of softball. He has helped all of us to learn to communicate with each other, block out the noise in everyday life. We thought we had tried everything, but he’s given all of us so many more tools for our toolbox. We’re forever grateful for how he’s helped us to live a fuller more rewarding life.”
“Dave Darby is a giant in the helping world—he has the ability to look at a situation and foresee problems before they happen..he understands people and sees them from a unique angle. He’s always made me feel more comfortable in my own skin and helped me to get the best out of myself. Dave has taught me a lot about love, validation, identity, gaps, needs, communication, and much more. I feel like his tools in life works and they can help people maneuver much better in life. It’s as if he is a magician of words and solutions.”
The timeless, classic lessons over 22 years have inspired thousands around the world, with golden nuggets to help them find and reach their PIQ (/pēk/).
