From private equity boardrooms to sacred mountain summits — Jackson Strong has walked both worlds and refused to choose between them.
He spent his first decade in the high-tech world — private equity and enterprise software, sales and marketing roles inside companies valued north of $300 million. By every metric that world keeps score with, he was winning. By the one that mattered, he was vanishing: a buttoned-up executive in the boardroom, a closet mystic everywhere else, quietly surrounded by the healers, teachers, and artists his colleagues never knew existed.
In 2016 the two worlds collided — a nervous breakdown, a divorce, the end of a life built to be admired. He walked away carrying a broken-open heart and the hard-won craft of building real businesses, and turned it toward the people he'd always belonged to. He became a coach to purpose-driven entrepreneurs.
Ever since, mindset and marketing for this world have been his life's work — more than a decade of it. He's helped tantra teachers, trauma-informed coaches, plant-medicine guides, and visionary leaders across the globe turn their gifts into thriving businesses, studying their wisdom as deeply as he sharpened their strategy. Few people understand both the soul and the business of conscious leadership the way he does.
In July 2022, he founded AUREA — the culmination of all of it: a company that fuses precision with mysticism, and a home for the leaders he'd spent his life serving. He's devoted to one thing above all — assembling a dream team of world-changers. You can see it already in the speakers who take AUREA's stages and the community gathering around them.
That is the whole intention behind AUREA: a community and a coaching system for the gifted — the coaches, healers, and leaders who've done the deep inner work and are ready to turn it into a message, an offer, and a movement. Jackson is here to shortcut the harrowing road he walked, so you can uncover your true gift, give it a voice the world can feel, and build it in real rooms, beside the people you love and trust. Not a tool you log into alone — a community you rise with, and a new Golden Age built on authenticity and service to something far larger than yourself.
