Our Mission

In 1903, a pair of unknown bicycle mechanics from Millville, Indiana left their shop one morning with a strange invention and became the first humans in history to take flight. You know their names and their story, but at the time no one else did. Their story wasn’t headline news that day, nor the day after. In fact, it was years before anyone would see the Wright Brothers’ name in print.

At Freethink, our mission is to ensure that you don’t have to wait years to hear about the Wright Brothers of our time – the pioneers who are hard at work all around us, quietly changing the world. We hope their stories will inspire you to make a difference in your own way.

Freethink: Move the World

At Freethink we tell stories about our changing world, for people who want to have a hand in changing it. Each week, we release videos and articles featuring passionate innovators who are solving humanity’s biggest challenges by thinking differently.

From aerospace engineers in the Mojave Desert to entrepreneurs in South America’s biggest slum, our videos give you an intimate look at not only what they’re doing but also why they’re doing it, the obstacles they face, and what motivates them to keep driving forward. We hope that after you watch these stories, you’ll come away with insights and inspiration you can use to move the world in your own way.
