The FINANCIAL — American Express kicked off a new program designed to enable, inspire and encourage people to pursue their passion projects. The PassionProject brings together leading experts, how-to advice, personal profiles and a monthly contest to inspire consumers to pursue the projects that are important and meaningful to their lives, according to American Express Company.
The program reflects the findings of the recent American Express LifeTwist study, revealing that Americans now believe success is no longer rooted in a sense of arrival, but defined primarily by the experiences they accumulate, detours they embrace and passions they pursue throughout their lifetime.
The LifeTwist study also found that ‘passion projects,’ defined as the pursuit of an interest or hobby, are considered an important ingredient to living a fulfilled and successful life by the vast majority of Americans (75%).
To bring these findings to life, the new program, launching on YouTube, shines a light on Members of the PassionProject through profile and how-to “do-torial” videos of people who are making an impact in large and small ways. Each feature is designed to motivate, educate and inspire consumers to pursue their own passion projects, according to American Express Company.
In the coming weeks, American Express will also launch a new Tumblr community to share inspirational stories, advice from psychologists and industry experts, interesting research and videos to encourage consumers to uncover and kick-start their own passion projects.
