Creating Our Modern Day Blue Zone

​We’re building a community of 1,000 highly competent people who are good from within—people who are not only amazing at what they do but are generous, curious, and always looking to grow.

At our Human Performance Hub in NYC, we regularly bring people together to learn, support one another, stay healthy, and take on the world’s toughest challenges  - what we call our Modern Day Blue Zone.

 

Our events are a key way we connect—an opportunity for you to get to know us, and for us to get to know you and others who might be part of the 1,000.

coThursdays - the routine of community

CoThursdays are our more intimate, community-driven in-person gatherings on the off-Thursdays. Think of them as “get to know the community” showcase, designed to help us build the routine of community.

Why We Host Events

BETTER ME + BETTER YOU = BETTER US

The most successful people in the world are Givers. ​

It’s actually how we became the number one learning organization in the world. ​

It’s in the research. The more we’ve given and helped others (organizations, leaders, people), the more we’ve learned and received insights, nuances in challenges…that helped us accumulate greater knowledge…which in turn allowed us to help others even more."

First Thursday Attendee

"I have tremendous respect for what founders Charlie Kim and Meghan Messenger have built. In a world where the word "community" is often used loosely, Next Jump seems to understand what it actually requires: intention, generosity, trust, consistency, and a willingness to invest deeply in people. They are creating an environment where people are encouraged to connect meaningfully, learn from one another, and become part of something larger than themselves."

Build on the Foundation

Many people ask us "how can I help?" We created our events to find “givers”—partners who want to collaborate in building a modern-day Blue Zone community. Next Jump provides the foundation: space, food, and staff (chefs, bartenders, DJs, instructors, etc.). We’re inviting others to create & add on top of this foundation (ie. teach, share). If you have ideas and would like to contribute, let us know how below!
