The Gfulness App origin story came from a personal struggle with depression.  Collin, our founder who art in Chicago, tried many traditional mindfulness apps and found himself getting even more frustrated or down on himself after listening .  He had a strong desire to be more mindful and present but wanted to laugh and make the journey more fun.  “What if a meditation/mindfulness app was funny?” Collin asked himself. “Who do I know that could create funny and mindful content?” he continued, “And… why are my thoughts forming actual word bubbles above my head?” Collin ignored the final question and instead reached out to a buddy from his growing up yesteryears named Andrew who was working in the Chicago comedy scene. As he explained this meditation/mindfulness meets comedy app idea, Andrew’s third eye began to tingle since this was right in sync with his personal and professional life journey. He rounded up a hilarious, talented and mindful team to make funny and relaxing audio content for the people of earth. And on this day in early December of 2019, Gfulness took its first baby step… and fell immediately to the ground with a THWACK on the pavement. But little G got right back up… and… THWACK-POP! Right back down again… and repeated this fall down bit… for all of eternity…
