Pawns: Growth Media For The Mind
As a Growth Media, Pawns helps you grow by giving you clarity and support on your personal development journey.
What Is A Growth Media?
A Growth Media helps you grow your mind, stretch your limits, and discover your tribe.
It’s made up of two parts:
➤ The Needlestack:
Where we curate and share content from great thinkers, schools of thought, and everyday moments of insight—all chosen by members to help each other grow.
It could be a YouTube video that opened your eyes, a blog post that gave you directions, or a podcast that spoke to your struggle.
Everyone gets credit for their contribution.
➤ The Tribe:
A community of like-minded people who are growing.
Expect to meet fellow young people who are learning new skills for life, looking to level up in their careers and living life to the fullest.
This is where you feel seen, heard, and supported.

- Relational well-being – Connection, communication, belonging
- Emotional well-being – Awareness, healing, resilience
All these come together to bring success, happiness, and peace to you.
Pawns — the Growth Media — supports improvement across all five domains.
Our Five Working Tenets
We rate content based on how much they adhere to these tenets:
- Ideas should be practical and useful: ideas shouldn’t be abstract theories that don’t help members solve problems or gain something valuable.
- Ideas should be anchored in observable reality: ideas shouldn’t be based on speculation, unproven claims, or disconnected from science or personal experience.
- Ideas should be presented in an emotionally, intellectually, and verbally clear way: ideas shouldn’t be confusing, overly complex, or emotionally manipulative.
- Ideas should promote or protect human wellbeing: ideas shouldn’t undermine fairness, dignity, or safety.
- Ideas should be humble and considerate: ideas shouldn’t be condescending, dismissive, arrogant, or seem infallible.
