Reju and NSN Expand Partnership to Merge Behavioral Science With Mental Wellness Tech

The expanding partnership demonstrates how behavioral science, technology and education are shaping the future of human-centered success.

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, September 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — More than 30,000 entrepreneurs, investors, innovators and changemakers recently gathered in Atlanta, Georgia, for InvestFest 2026, one of the nation’s premier celebrations of entrepreneurship, wealth creation and economic empowerment. Against a backdrop of conversations about investing, artificial intelligence, business ownership and generational wealth, another theme emerged with growing urgency: sustainable success depends not only on financial capital, but on mental resilience, emotional wellbeing and the strength of the communities that support us.

That intersection between financial opportunity and human wellbeing is precisely where New Solutions Network (NSN) is building its future.
NSN Founder Natanya Wachtel attended InvestFest in support of strategic partner Reju, on whose advisory board she sits. Their presence at the event reflected a growing movement to place mental wellness alongside entrepreneurship as an essential pillar of long-term success. As thousands of attendees connected with industry leaders, investors and innovators—including Serena Williams, Steve Harvey, Nick Cannon, Troy Millings, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, 19Keys, Milan Harris, Jhalesa Seymour and Carl Michel—the partnership between NSN and Reju demonstrated how technology, behavioral science and education can work together to help individuals thrive both personally and professionally.

Founded from lived experience rather than theory alone by Aaron Warrick, Dante Wade and Greg Wilson, Reju was born from their belief that personal transformation begins with self-awareness, reflection and access to practical tools that empower individuals to become healthier versions of themselves. What started as simple weekly messages encouraging resilience and personal growth has evolved into a comprehensive wellness platform designed to make mental, emotional and physical wellbeing more accessible for people from every walk of life.

Today, Reju combines daily inspiration, peer-to-peer support, licensed therapy, interactive educational content, personalized wellness experiences powered by intelligent technology, self-improvement challenges and continuous progress tracking into a single ecosystem focused on helping people build healthier habits over time. Rather than treating mental wellness as something reserved for moments of crisis, Reju encourages users to view personal growth as a lifelong journey supported by reflection, community and intentional action.

That philosophy closely mirrors NSN’s mission.
New Solutions Network was founded on the belief that many of society’s greatest challenges—from rising rates of anxiety, burnout and loneliness to educational inequity, workforce disruption and community fragmentation—cannot be solved by addressing isolated problems. They require integrated solutions that recognize the whole person. By bringing together behavioral science, education, media, technology and strategic partnerships, NSN is creating an ecosystem designed to help individuals better understand themselves, strengthen resilience and unlock their fullest potential.
The collaboration with Reju represents a significant step toward that vision.

Beyond a shared commitment to improving mental health outcomes, the organizations are actively developing deeper technological integration between Reju’s platform and NSN’s evolving TrueYou™ behavioral intelligence ecosystem. Current collaborative work includes aligning wellness assessments, educational pathways and adaptive data models that will allow users to receive increasingly personalized insights, recommendations and learning experiences based on their own stories, goals and progress over time. By utilizing validated assessment tools alongside intelligent personalization, the partnership seeks to create a more responsive and individualized wellness journey for every participant.

“Invest Fest was an amazing opportunity to showcase the important and innovative work that Reju is doing in the technology industry. Our collaboration with New Solutions Network further strengthens our dynamic solutions backed by data science and a people first approach.” said Dante Wade, Co-founder of Reju.

Another exciting milestone in the collaboration is the planned integration of financial literacy programming developed by Abdul Tubman, NSN’s Head of Education & Sustainability, Grants, into Reju’s growing learning platform. Rather than treating financial education as separate from health, the partnership recognizes that financial stress is one of the most significant contributors to anxiety, relationship strain and reduced quality of life. By making practical financial education available alongside mental health resources, coaching and self-development tools, NSN and Reju are embracing a more holistic understanding of wellness—one that acknowledges financial confidence, emotional resilience and personal wellbeing as deeply interconnected.

“Invest Fest is genuinely one of my favorite experiences because it recognizes that success is multidimensional. I come to it as an entrepreneur, an executive, a builder, a leader and a mom, and I appreciate how intentionally they create an environment where access to people, information, resources and opportunity all intersect. Their laser focus on building wealth in Black and Brown communities is incredibly important, but what makes it even more powerful is the recognition that we also have to be well in order to build and sustain that wealth. Mental wellness is foundational to the growth of any community, and Invest Fest creates space for both.”

This whole-person approach reflects a broader shift taking place across business, healthcare and education. Increasingly, organizations are recognizing that innovation cannot flourish without healthy people to drive it. Entrepreneurs face unprecedented pressure, employees are navigating rapid technological change, and communities continue to experience rising mental health challenges. At the same time, social media algorithms, economic uncertainty and information overload make it increasingly difficult for individuals to disconnect from comparison, reflect on their own values and chart authentic paths forward.

Both NSN and Reju believe the answer lies not in offering another digital distraction, but in creating meaningful opportunities for reflection, education and connection. Together, they are working to normalize conversations around mental health, reduce stigma, and provide accessible tools that empower people to understand themselves more deeply, build healthier relationships and make more intentional decisions throughout every stage of life.

InvestFest 2026 demonstrated that conversations about wealth creation are evolving. Financial success, while important, is increasingly being viewed alongside purpose, emotional wellbeing, community impact and personal fulfillment. For NSN, that evolution represents an extraordinary opportunity to help shape the future of human-centered innovation by ensuring that behavioral science, wellness and education remain central to the conversation.
Whether you are an entrepreneur building the next generation of companies, an educator seeking new ways to engage learners, a healthcare professional looking to expand access to wellness resources, an investor supporting mission-driven innovation, or an organization committed to helping employees and communities flourish, NSN invites you to become part of this growing movement.

The conversations sparked at InvestFest are only the beginning. As NSN and Reju continue expanding their partnership through new educational content, personalized learning experiences, technology integration and community initiatives, they are laying the foundation for a future in which mental health, financial wellbeing and human potential are no longer treated as separate conversations—but as essential parts of the same journey.
This is more than a partnership. It is a shared commitment to redefining what success looks like in the twenty-first century.

And this is only the beginning.

Stay tuned as New Solutions Network and Reju unveil new initiatives designed to empower individuals, strengthen communities and unlock the extraordinary potential that emerges when innovation begins with the human experience.

About NSN
The New Solutions Network (NSN) is a company made of companies, built at the intersection of behavioral science, storytelling, and lived experience.

Founded in 2008 by Natanya Wachtel — Founder and Chief Network Alchemist — as New Solutions Factory, NSN grew from a single behavioral-science consultancy into a network of disciplines that rarely build together: enterprise, wellness, media, advocacy, and a partner economy, all running on one engine — behavioral science, the study of the distance between what we say and what’s true, and why we stay stuck.

NSN operates as a company made of companies, with coordinated divisions that turn insight into systems, content into commerce, and lived experience into measurable outcomes.

Operating through five coordinated divisions — NSN: Factory, NSN: Media, NSN: Wellness, NSN: EARN, and THRIVE — each turning insight into systems, story, and measurable change. The network is led by CEO Frank Saia and a leadership team built over two decades of work inside the industries where the truth gets hidden: pharma, medicine, media, recovery, and the enterprise.
