Nicholas Kusmich

Nicholas Kusmich began preaching at seventeen. He was ordained at nineteen and left the pulpit at twenty-nine.

He had been building a marketing practice for five of those years already. It paid the bills that preaching did not.

It became H2H Media Group, and for the next two decades it served the personal development industry — bestselling authors, and names you would recognise from the business of self-improvement.

Forbes and CNBC both profiled him, in 2016 and 2017. Both stories were about how much money he was making.

Twenty-seven years, in two vocabularies, inside the work of telling people they could be better than they were. Close enough to watch what that delivered, and what it did not.

He stopped believing it. Not because the people were dishonest — most of them were not. Because the premise was wrong. A person is not a project, and the project cannot be completed.

What replaced it is not a better method for improving people. It is the opposite question: what is left when the improving stops.

He began that work in 2020. The marketing practice ended in 2026.
