Founders Note

I'm not here by choice. I'm here because I need to be.

I've always lived between two sides of myself. One that wants to do the best work of my life; the other just wants to have fun and take the edge off. Keeping those two in balance has been a journey and I've lost it and clawed it back more times than I'd like to admit.

Looking at me from the outside you'd probably see someone with their life together. I've lived in every corner of the US. I've been self-employed in consumer product design for nearly a decade, with a few notable projects. Given that so much of life had gone my way I was shocked after I realized my habits had taken over. I'm not one to let a problem go unaddressed, I realized I needed to find a solution.

What finally clicked wasn't trying harder. Resisting something near you constantly depletes willpower, and forces your brain to work harder causing decision fatigue. I realized that I needed a system to enhance my willpower and manage my Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde tendencies.

Pace was imagined as a company dedicated to creating a system that manages compulsion. We want to create a constant in people's lives when they need it in their darkest moments. That's why we're here, to help everyone overcome unruly habits and live according to their best intentions.
