'Breakfast with Champions'
Breakfast With Champions is a community-driven movement
that unites athletes, leaders, and everyday achievers around ONE MISSION:
to champion mental health, build performance resilience, and inspire meaningful impact in the world.
We believe that champions are not defined by winning — they are defined by how they rise, lead, and lift others.
Through live events, keynote storytelling, mentorship, and community support, Breakfast With Champions delivers:
- Real conversations about mental health
- Practical tools for emotional + physical resilience
- A supportive network that believes “You Matter”
- A culture where strength and vulnerability can coexist
All profits help fund mental wellness resources and accessible support through the YouMattyr Foundation.
“We build a community of champions who lead with strength, compassion, and purpose — supporting mental health and performance for all.”
