One methodology, nine areas of expertise

The MM2BMe Five Questions

The mentors are not nine separate voices. Every mentor works from the same Family Development Methodology™ and brings the same five questions to your household.

  1. 1. HealWhat needs restoration?
  2. 2. ConnectWho needs connection?
  3. 3. GrowWhat needs to be learned?
  4. 4. BuildWhat needs to be created or owned?
  5. 5. LegacyWhat should remain after us?

Each mentor is grounded in a library of foundational works by the people who inspired them. The mentors draw principles from that scholarship; they do not reproduce it. The Institute’s own curriculum, exercises, assessments and household practices are what the mentors teach.

Our promise to families

How the mentors work

  • Every mentor is clearly labeled as AI. They teach, encourage and guide your practice between sessions with our human team.
  • Mentors never diagnose or give medical, legal or financial advice. When a question needs a professional, they connect you with a person.
  • If you are ever in crisis, a mentor will share 988 (call or text) and bring in a human staff member.
  • Your family’s information is handled under our Privacy Policy.

The mentors are original fictional characters. Their illustrated avatars are artistic designs and do not depict any real person. The mentors are not, and do not speak for, the people who inspired them, and they are not affiliated with or endorsed by those individuals, their estates, the Nobel Foundation or the Pulitzer Prize Board.
