ABOUT us

The Origin of a Global Compass

Welcome, LIVE Pathfinder.

This is more than our story. This is the story of a choice—a choice to confront the shadows of the world with a relentless and practical light. It is the story of LIVE Pathfinders Limited.

Our Name, Our Mission

LIVE Pathfinders is built on a simple, profound belief: that every one of us is on a journey, and the most important journey is the one inward—toward purpose, compassion, and impact.

Our name defines our dual calling:

To L.I.V.E. is to consciously choose a life of Love, Inspiration, Value, and Education over the shadows of Loathing, Inhibition, Vilification, and Exploitation.

To be LIVE Pathfinder is to be a guide—for ourselves and for others—scouting a trail toward a more conscious and connected world.

Vision: To be a global leader in purpose-driven education, maximizing humanitarian contributions.

Mission: To build a world where every individual and organization operates from a place of Love, Inspiration, Value, and Education.

The Birth of a Philosophy: From Personal Journey to Universal Framework

LIVE Pathfinders was not founded in a boardroom. It was forged in the quiet crucible of human experience.

Our Founder, Ola Akinwe, spent over two decades observing the root patterns of human suffering and societal division—in workplaces, communities, and the quiet struggles of the human heart. He saw that the same toxic cycles repeated everywhere, and that well-meaning solutions often only addressed the symptoms, not the source.

From this deep observation and a quest for a unifying truth, the L.I.V.E. philosophy was born. It began not as a business plan, but as a personal blueprint for living. It was a framework so simple, yet so deep, that it could be applied to healing a broken heart, bridging a political divide, or transforming a toxic corporate culture.

It became clear that this was not a personal tool, but a universal gift. And so, LIVE Pathfinders Limited was launched to share this blueprint with the world.

our Unique Model: A Self-Sustaining Ecosystem of Impact

We are a for-profit social enterprise, and this is a deliberate choice. We believe the most sustainable way to fund healing is to build a powerful engine for it.

Our business model is a virtuous cycle:
  1. We create transformative content and services that help individuals and organizations thrive.
  2. The revenue from this work fuels our operational growth and, crucially, funds our humanitarian mission.
  3. A significant portion of our profits is dedicated to the Boys Mentoring Advocacy Network (BMAN), empowering the next generation of young men through mentorship—breaking cycles of E.V.I.L. before they begin.

This means that every purchase, every partnership, and every LIVE Pathfinder who joins our community directly contributes to a chain reaction of positive change.

Meet Our Founder: Ola Akinwe

Ola Akinwe is the visionary and Chief Purpose Officer of LIVE Pathfinders. He is the author of the foundational texts of the L.I.V.E. philosophy and the host of “The L.I.V.E. Experience” podcast.

As a modern philosopher-practitioner, Ola’s authority does not come from a traditional academic pedigree, but from the earned wisdom of lived experience and the powerful, practical results of his framework, which has been used to heal community divisions, guide individuals through profound loss, and reshape organizational cultures. He is a living testament to the philosophy he teaches—that Value is an inherent birthright and Education is a lifelong vow.

His unwavering belief is that a more purposeful, peaceful world is not a utopian dream, but a practical choice available to us all, right now.
