Humanity Unites Brilliance with Michael Beckwith and Agape
Monday, May 12th, 2008Humanity Unites Brilliance (HUB) is a for-profit company that uses personal development training as an economic engine to generate an ongoing humanitarian impact. Being a HUB member means that monthly contributions feed three, educate three, provide clean water for ten and fund pooled micro loans. In return HUB provides members with personal, business and humanitarian training. Additionally, members have access to HUB’s social networking site. One feature of HUB’s social networking site is that it matches people based on similar passions to create mastermind groups called a Circle of Brilliance where people can network with others for their business, personal and humanitarian projects.
HUB’s mission is to transition the world from a state of basic survival to one of self empowerment and sustained abundance. Its goal is to attract 400,000 members within 2 years which will mean $40 million per month in addition to income from live events that will go towards humanitarian purposes. Its official launch date is June 21st 2008. One aspect of HUB is network marketing. HUB utilizes network marketing in order to generate sustainable and exponential funds for their humanitarian goals and non-profit partners such as Feed the Children, Nourish the Children, The Micro Credit Summit and Raincatcher.
Additionally, HUB partners with people like Rev. Michael Beckwith, Mark Victor Hanson, Barbara De Angelis, Jean Houston, Marie Diamond, Marci Shimoff, and Barbara Marx Hubbard to provide personal empowerment and humanitarian training. For example, HUB recently partnered with Michael Beckwith and Agape to do an extreme life makeover for five families in Los Angeles providing them with everything on their wish list from bikes, computers, job opportunities, educational scholarships, business training, counseling, cash donations and food. Rev. Beckwith said HUB leaders are no airy fairy dreamers, but are taking practical actions based on a BIG vision to heal the planet.
Charlie Gay is one of the founders of HUB. Charlie has served as a rock and roll promoter and event producer for clients such as Pink Floyd, Pavarotti, Madonna and Fleetwood Mac, as well as the UK government of Margaret Thatcher. He is the former Executive Director of The Mineseeker Foundation and Sole of Africa Campaign, whose patrons include Nelson Mandela, Graca Machel, Sir Richard Branson, Brad Pitt, Queen Noor of Jordan and John Paul deJoria. The Mineseeker Foundation’s mission is to eliminate land mines throughout Africa. Mohammed Yunis, Nobel Prize winner for his Grameen Bank micro loan program, has met with Charlie Gay and supports HUB’s work as a perfect example of this new model of corporate philanthropy. He said that for profit companies should get involved in helping fund social programs rather than leaving that task solely to non-profits.
