The story
Meet Maya. 54 seconds, sound on.
Every weekday is worth 10. Every week is worth 100. The only opponent is who you were yesterday.
Rise Points 10 a day
Sync Points Weekly Sync
It starts with one Riser. Then three. Then hundreds. Every Riser who has played Rise is a tree here, more than 500 so far.
"Plant a seed in the right soil, give it sun and water every day, and it will be impossible for it not to grow."
The founder
Founder and head coach, Houston, Texas
“You don't find the time. You create the time, ahead of time.”
JC designed the Rise method and has run it for seven years with more than 500 alumni. He coaches High Rise one-on-one and closes every cycle himself in the Final Sync.

Both. The app is the game you play every weekday morning. If you want more, add a group with a certified coach, daily 1:1, or High Rise with JC.
You don't start over. You lose that day's points, say it out loud in your Night Journal, and play again tomorrow. That's integrity: you declare, or you say you didn't and what you'll do next.
Only you. If your company brings Rise to your team, leadership sees nothing personal: not a journal line, not an individual number.
Both. The app launches on the App Store and Google Play on November 15, 2026.
App Basic is $30 per 90-day cycle, $10 a month, with two weeks free. App Premium is $90 per cycle. Launch offers, like the Founding Annual at $149 for your first year, run from November 15 to December 23.

Willpower alone gets you through the comfort zone. The Morning Journal, the Rise Call and your ONE THING lift you into high performance, and the Night Journal closes the day.
The daily score

Then one point for each of your five life areas, one for being on time to your call, one for your focus tracker, and one for your journals: half for the morning, half for the night.
The Poke is the eleventh point. A bonus on top of the 10 for going 110%: reaching outside yourself to someone new, every day.
Your focus tracker: we recommend Forest. Post a screenshot of your focus time. Other trackers work too.
Every week is worth 100: 50 Rise Points from the daily game, and 50 Sync Points from your Weekly Sync.

Included in App Premium
Seedie is your AI companion in the app. It texts you at least five times a day, at slightly different times so it feels human: before and after your Morning Journal, reminders for your ONE THING and The Poke, your Night Journal, and lines pulled from your own vision and your Big NO.
You choose its personality: humor, bluntness, rigor, warmth, edge, brevity. Seedie is an original character, never based on a celebrity or a real person.

See the Squad PackPods that mix departments. Coaches provided by Rise. Leadership sees nothing personal.
Rise works best when a pod crosses the org chart. Picture a group of six from an NFL team: the quarterback, the massage therapist and the kicker, declaring out loud to each other every weekday morning. Same standard, same 15 minutes.
We run packages for 50 to 200 people. Rise provides every coach, one for every 45 people, and every Riser gets App Premium.
If your company buys Rise for your team, leadership sees nothing personal. Not a journal line. Not an individual number. That is what makes the journals honest, and the results real.
Teams and partners already playing Rise.
Every month, Risers from around the country meet on Zoom to declare the month ahead, out loud. In Houston, we also meet in person on a rooftop.
Next Monthly Sync
Live on Zoom, from anywhere. In person in Houston, on the rooftop.
Risers from around the country, one call, one month declared out loud. Registering includes free access to the app.
Start quiet. Arrive in the room before you arrive in the conversation.
People who wake up with a plan. Good people to know.
Stand up and say what you'll do this month. Out loud, in front of people who'll ask about it next time.
Rise Sync was founded by JC Gonzalez in Houston, Texas. The method is simple and hard: declare it out loud, then go get it.
The founder
Founder and head coach, Houston, Texas
JC designed the Rise method and has run it for seven years with more than 500 alumni. He coaches High Rise one-on-one and closes every cycle himself in the Final Sync.
Every January, I watched smart people make the same promise and lose it by February. Not because they were lazy. Because nobody asked them the next morning.
Rise is the next morning. For seven years and more than 500 Risers, it has been the same simple thing: say it out loud, show up at 5:45, and let a team hold you to it.
You don't find the time. You create the time, ahead of time.
Nobody changed their life by watching a video. People change when they say something out loud and follow through, morning after morning.
Rise sells transformation, not change: an evolution that starts with a conscious choice. It is a high-performance system, not a support group. Accountability on its own is Monopoly money. Support exists to produce results.
And every life that moves, moves the ten around it.
The vision
1,000,000 lives by 2036.
One morning at a time.
Plant a seed in the right soil, give it sun and water every day, and it will be impossible for it not to grow.
A coach who shows up every single day, unconditionally.
Coaches are referees, not friends. Integrity is a metal detector for excuses.
You're not responsible for the first thought that comes to your mind, but you are responsible for the second, and for acting on it.
You don't find the time. You create the time, ahead of time.
Information without application is meaningless.
Plant a seed in the right soil, give it sun and water every day, and it will be impossible for it not to grow.
Five values and ten principles. The Rise Sync Standard.
Read The Rise Sync StandardOur vision, values and working principles. Direct, demanding, and with a sense of humor.
Character: who we hire, keep and promote.
You declare and you deliver, or you say out loud that you didn't and what you'll do about it. No silent edits.
You say the hard thing to the person paying you to be nice. Comfort is the most expensive thing in coaching.
Anyone can have a great Monday. We show up on an ordinary Thursday, at the same time, with the same standard.
You want to know how it works: the person, the system, the tool. You ask the second question.
Serious work done by people who enjoy it. Joy is part of the discipline, not the prize at the end.
Behavior: how we work, every day.
We live the system before we ask anyone to buy it.
If your five-year vision doesn't stretch you, it's too small.
Initiative over permission. Hunger over talent. Consistency over both.
A mind like water. Calm is contagious.
A Target without a number and a date isn't a target. It's a wish.
A light room, a high standard.
What a Riser writes at 5:45 a.m. is the most honest thing they say all day. Confidentiality is not a policy: it is the product.
Learning is not the result. Changed behavior is.
Click Until Something Happens.
A million lives don't fit in anyone's calendar. They happen through the people we hand it to.

A daily high-performance system for entrepreneurs, professionals and teams, played in 90-day cycles. You declare out loud what you will achieve, in front of people who won't let you off the hook, and you do it again every weekday morning. It is a system and a game, not content and not motivation.
Both, as a ladder. The app with Seedie is the way in. Group coaching adds a certified coach and a team. 1:1 coaching and High Rise with JC sit at the top. Every coaching plan includes App Premium.
November 15, 2026, on the App Store and Google Play. The New Year Cohort starts playing on Monday, January 4, 2027.
Yes. Two weeks free in the app. You can start mid-week with your Destiny Journal and Morning Journals; the game and the score start the Monday after your Visions and Destinations are complete.
A cycle starts with a conscious choice. You pick your Monday, and everyone in the game plays the same 13 weeks from the same starting line.
Every weekday is worth 10 Rise Points: 2 for your ONE THING, one for each of your five life areas, one for being on time, one for your focus tracker, and one for your journals (half morning, half night). The Poke adds a bonus point. Five weekdays make 50 Rise Points. Your Weekly Sync adds 50 Sync Points: 25 for your life-area declarations and 25 for your GTO. That makes 100 a week. A season is 13 weeks: week 1 is a practice week, and your best 10 of the other 12 count, for a maximum of 1,000 points.
Three goals you set every week, and every month, each scored on its own: Guaranteed (an easy win), Target (a real challenge) and Outrageous (110% effort, and not unrealistic). Together they are worth 25 points a week.
Reaching out to someone outside your usual circle, every day. It is the bonus point: an eleventh point on top of your daily 10, for going 110% outside yourself.
Nobody but you. If your company brings Rise to your team, leadership sees nothing personal: not a journal line, not an individual number. Confidentiality is not a policy. It is the product.
Your AI coach in the app, included in App Premium. Seedie sends notifications through the day, around your journals, your ONE THING and The Poke, and you choose its personality. Seedie is original, never based on a celebrity or a real person.
Your journals stay open until the Final Sync with JC, which closes the cycle and starts a new one. If you played on the app alone, the Final Sync is also your invitation to join a group.
All payments are processed by Stripe on the web, not through the App Store. Group spots are held with a deposit.
Calls happen in the first 30 to 90 minutes after you wake up. Groups meet for 15 minutes a day, 1:1 coaching is 10 minutes a day, and every Riser has a weekly one-on-one sync.
Yes. The app works in English and Spanish, and Rise runs a Spanish-language version of the program.
Yes. When you Rise, so do others: refer two people and get a month free.
