The WHY
Our PURPOSE
By decoding the neurobiology of flow, we tackle two of the defining challenges of our time—mental health and human performance. Both addressed through the same biological mechanism.
FOUNDERS
STEVEN KOTLER
Steven is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, three-time Pulitzer Prize nominee, and pioneer of performance neuroscience. Steven's journey began in the 1990s in action sports journalism, where witnessing athletes achieve the seemingly impossible sparked a 30+ year obsession: decode the neuroscience behind extraordinary human performance. That obsession has fueled 17+ ventures in performance neuroscience, media, and conservation, all united by one mission: proving what humans are capable of when they access flow.
RIAN DORIS
As CEO, Rian grew Flow Research Collective from zero to $50M in cumulative revenue within five years. Rian was named to Forbes 30 Under 30. In parallel he built one of the largest public education platforms on flow state, with a YouTube series reaching over 20 million views and 400,000+ subscribers. Academically, Rian holds a Master’s degree in Neuroscience from King’s College London and an undergraduate degree in Philosophy from Trinity College Dublin. He is currently pursuing his PhD.
