About
The inspiration for our nonprofit began with a profound question posed by Doniphan Stone, EPIC President: "How do I give my life away?" This question sparked the vision for creating an organization dedicated to having profound impact on individuals. It became the driving force behind our mission to empower individuals and communities through transformative experiences, fostering a legacy of giving and purpose-driven living. Doniphan’s inquiry laid the foundation for a nonprofit focused on uplifting others and making a lasting difference in the world and beyond.

Doniphan Stone
After battling cancer at the age of 15 years old in High School, I went on to receiving my black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do, and playing collegiate soccer. After school years I did mission work around the world, running a personal training company, creating the Fearless personal training app, Co-authoring EPIC Devotion, being awarded several patents within the fitness industry, co-founding and running Corefirst Pilates into a multi-million dollar company. I know what it is like to have a goal in front of me but I also know it is never achieving the goal itself that brings our greatest fulfillment. It is personal growth, people, and practice that allows us to set goals and be continually present and overflowing with contentment.
I am currently living in Aurora, Colorado with my beautiful, talented and supportive wife. In my free time I enjoy seeing people encounter freedom, spending time with my amazing wife and with quality friends, working out, working on my own internal development, playing pickleball and traveling.

When Doniphan invited me to co-author this book, I felt deeply honored, as we’ve both experienced tangible results through the practices we share here, which have strengthened our relationship. These practices, developed through years of experimentation, reflection, and learning, have been nurtured by the wisdom imparted to me by my parents and other mentors who served as father figures. My experiences as a minister starting home-based churches and later as a leadership coach, working with individuals globally, helped me refine these practices, which became core to the communities I served. Through my doctoral research and countless hours working with others, I've seen the transformative power of these practices firsthand, and they’ve become integrated into every facet of my life—from ministry to my roles as a yoga instructor, personal trainer, professor, and father. It is a privilege and joy to now share them with you.
