Intent.com aims to be the most trusted and comprehensive wellness site and social network devoted to supporting people’s intentions and helping them achieve their goals. Founded by Mallika Chopra and former Yahoo! executive Sal Taylor Kydd, Intent.com features videos, blogs and articles from well-known luminaries such as Deepak Chopra, Larry Dossey, Olivia Newton John, Ed Begley Jr., Debbie Ford, Fran Drescher, Don Miguel Ruiz, Joan Borysenko, Laura Day, Russell Simmons and Project (Red) Founder Tamsin Smith. Topics on the site include health, relationships, causes, planet, balance, success and spirit.
Mallika Chopra explains her hope for the site, “As the daughter of Deepak Chopra, I’ve been fortunate to interact with inspiring leaders, thinkers, celebrities and individuals who are devoted to a healthy, humane society and planet…My hope is that Intent - by bringing these voices together for a larger community — can be a socially conscious business that brings together a global community to inspire, educate and connect.”
Intent.com stands out because of the nature of its highly supportive community. Members of the social network can post their intentions in an online profile which allows users to connect with and support other people who are taking on similar projects or who have the same aspirations. The site also allows members to post video clips of their intents. For example, below is a short clip of Tim Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Workweek, talking about his intent–to double the number of math and science majors in the US.
