Our mission

Transforming 1,000,000 lives by 2036.

Here’s what it looks like so far, in the words of the Risers who have played the game.

    This video won't change your life. Your Monday will.

    Meet Maya. 54 seconds, sound on.

    Your Monday is coming.

    Monday, January 4, 2027

    Wake Up. Rise. Sync.

    Declarations don't.

    Every weekday is worth 10. Every week is worth 100. The only opponent is who you were yesterday.

    How the game works

    The Forest. Every tree is a Riser.

    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."

    JC Gonzalez, Founder

    The founder

    JC Gonzalez

    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.

    Questions

    Before you join.

    All questions
    Is Rise an app or coaching?

    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.

    What if I miss a day?

    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.

    Who can see what I write?

    Only you. If your company brings Rise to your team, leadership sees nothing personal: not a journal line, not an individual number.

    iPhone or Android?

    Both. The app launches on the App Store and Google Play on November 15, 2026.

    How much does it cost?

    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.

    How Rise works.

    The daily score

    10/10 + 1

    Every weekday is worth 10 points, like ten pins with one roll a day. Your ONE THINGThe single priority of your day, with a hard deadline. is the head pin, worth 2. 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.

    Destiny Journal, Morning Journal, Night Journal and the Weekly Sync.

    The daily game

    Your ONE THING with a deadline, a habit per life area, your weekly GTO and The Poke.

    Your score

    Daily, weekly and cycle scores, so you always know where you stand.

    Seedie, in Premium

    Your AI coach, with notifications through the day. Belief and structure at the start, momentum checks in the middle, and a straight conversation at the end if your Target isn't moving.

    A quote a day

    Curated lines and originals from JC at the top of your day.

    Meet Seedie.

    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.

    Rise for teams and companies.

    Pods that mix departments. Coaches provided by Rise. Leadership sees nothing personal.

    Mix the room.

    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.

    The promise to your people

    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.

    What happens at a Monthly Sync.

    Sound bath

    Start quiet. Arrive in the room before you arrive in the conversation.

    Networking

    People who wake up with a plan. Good people to know.

    Declarations

    Stand up and say what you'll do this month. Out loud, in front of people who'll ask about it next time.

    Seven years. More than 500 alumni. One morning at a 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.

    JC Gonzalez, founder of Rise Sync, in a black t-shirt with his arms crossed

    The founder

    JC Gonzalez

    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.

    JC Gonzalez signatureJC GonzalezFounder, Rise Sync

    Not content. Not motivation.

    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.

    What we stand on.

    The seed and the soil

    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 sun

    A coach who shows up every single day, unconditionally.

    The referee

    Coaches are referees, not friends. Integrity is a metal detector for excuses.

    In JC's words.

    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.

    JC Gonzalez

    You don't find the time. You create the time, ahead of time.

    JC Gonzalez

    Information without application is meaningless.

    JC Gonzalez

    Plant a seed in the right soil, give it sun and water every day, and it will be impossible for it not to grow.

    JC Gonzalez

    Read the standard we hold ourselves to.

    Five values and ten principles. The Rise Sync Standard.

    Read The Rise Sync Standard

    The Rise Sync Standard.

    Our vision, values and working principles. Direct, demanding, and with a sense of humor.

    Five values.

    Character: who we hire, keep and promote.

    Integrity

    You declare and you deliver, or you say out loud that you didn't and what you'll do about it. No silent edits.

    Courage

    You say the hard thing to the person paying you to be nice. Comfort is the most expensive thing in coaching.

    Consistency

    Anyone can have a great Monday. We show up on an ordinary Thursday, at the same time, with the same standard.

    Curiosity

    You want to know how it works: the person, the system, the tool. You ask the second question.

    Joy

    Serious work done by people who enjoy it. Joy is part of the discipline, not the prize at the end.

    Ten principles.

    Behavior: how we work, every day.

    1. 01

      Rise. Do not clock in.

      We live the system before we ask anyone to buy it.

    2. 02

      Hold a vision bigger than yourself and bigger than this job.

      If your five-year vision doesn't stretch you, it's too small.

    3. 03

      Be the dog we pull back, not the dog we push.

      Initiative over permission. Hunger over talent. Consistency over both.

    4. 04

      Communicate clearly, calmly, and never in panic.

      A mind like water. Calm is contagious.

    5. 05

      Declare it out loud, then go get it.

      A Target without a number and a date isn't a target. It's a wish.

    6. 06

      Keep a sense of humor.

      A light room, a high standard.

    7. 07

      Guard the journal.

      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.

    8. 08

      Information without application is meaningless.

    How a Rise coach is made.

    Coaches earn certification by playing the game for about nine months: one cycle as a Riser in a group, one as a Captain, and one in 1:1.

    • Cycle one: play as a Riser
    • Cycle two: lead as a Captain
    • Cycle three: play one-on-one

    Stories.

    Risers, in their own words. Filmed with their permission.

      1–5 of 33 stories

      More stories arrive after launch, including App Store reviews from the first Risers.

      The Forest

      The Forest. Every tree is a Riser.

      Every Riser who has played Rise grows a tree here, from the seed they declare on day 1 to the tree they stand under on day 90. More than 500 so far. Tap a named tree to watch that Riser's story.

      "Plant a seed in the right soil, give it sun and water every day, and it will be impossible for it not to grow."

      What is Rise Sync?

      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.

      Is Rise an app or coaching?

      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.

      When does the app launch?

      November 15, 2026, on the App Store and Google Play. The New Year Cohort starts playing on Monday, January 4, 2027.

      Is there a free trial?

      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.

      Why does it always start on a Monday?

      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.

      How does scoring work?

      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.

      What is the GTO?

      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.

      What is The Poke?

      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.

      Who can see my journal?

      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.

      What is Seedie?

      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.

      What happens after day 90?

      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.

      How do payments work?

      All payments are processed by Stripe on the web, not through the App Store. Group spots are held with a deposit.

      How long are the calls?

      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.

      Is Rise available in Spanish?

      Yes. The app works in English and Spanish, and Rise runs a Spanish-language version of the program.

      Do you have a referral program?

      Yes. When you Rise, so do others: refer two people and get a month free.

      Can I give Rise as a gift?

      Yes. Gift of Rise codes (90 days or one year of Premium) are available from December 1 to December 23, with a printable gift card. Codes arrive December 25, ready for the New Year Cohort.

      Forest

      Every morning you declare your focus hours and by what time. Each tree is time you stayed concentrated. No Forest? Any focus tracker works: what matters is declaring it and tracking it.

      The Poke

      Message someone beyond your usual five: an old mentor, a neighbor, someone you admire. Small reach, big ripple.

      What's the one thing you can do today that makes everything else easier, or unnecessary? Name it, give it a time, and do it first.
