Team
Our story began in the dreams of people who imagined better in rural New Mexico, in Denver, Colorado, and in pre-war northern Korea. The possibility fueled by those dreams led the TRUEjourney team to build something with the power to transport us into new, more positive realities, both individually and collectively. We hope you will join us on this journey…
