Elevate your journey inward.
Coaching, curriculum, and community that values human growth and connection.
The Philosophy
Actively striving to improve and grow your Self is to be InStrive.
What began as an idea, inspired a philosophy that now guides a coaching model, curriculum, and a diverse community of individuals striving to become their best selves and supporting one another in the process. Whether you have long been on a path of self-improvement, are just beginning to explore what your best self might look like, or don't know how to start, you have a place here. InStrive is inclusive of all.
The InStrive framework is designed to maximize individual human potential. In a world with more external noise and distraction than ever, InStrive aims to shift attention inward, to help build a strong sense of self, and to empower. The framework is based on five guiding principles that serve as the foundation of the InStrive philosophy:
SELF DISCOVERY
Raise awareness to discover your authentic self, uncover your purpose, nurture your individuality.
INTENTIONAL LIVING
Turn reflection into action, make deliberate choices, and cultivate a balanced life through living with intention.
MASTERING YOUR MIND
Overcome distractions, develop mental resilience, embrace positivity, and reclaim control over your thoughts.
LIFELONG LEARNING
Commit to continuous growth, ignite curiosity, and unlock your potential.
SEEKING CONNECTIONS
Cultivate meaningful relationships, discover the magic of connections, and flourish.
Hi, I’m Nathaniel Scott-Reichel.
I'm a Humanist, Coach, and Founder of InStrive.
Nate is based in Harlem, NYC and currently training to become a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC).
Nathaniel Scott-Reichel
Founder of InStrive.
By the age of five, I had been to 234 funerals. My grandfather, father, two aunts, and an uncle all work in the funeral home business and until the age of ten, I grew up in one of our family-run funeral homes. At the start of my life, I was constantly reminded of the end of life.
I learned many things from a childhood surrounded by death, but one thing I never forgot was the look and feel of regret on the faces of people who wished they had lived differently - avoided distractions, spent more quality time with loved ones, or shared what weighed on their hearts before it was too late. At an early age, I gained profound perspective on mortality and what truly matters in the end, which deeply influenced my worldview and approach to life.
My approach? To become obsessed with living. To maximize the life in each day so that I did not regret how I chose to live. For me, this was striving to maintain a strong sense of self, to remain as healthy and happy as possible, to continuously grow, and to serve the self in others. To this end, I have pushed the limits of my mind and body: running a marathon, finishing a century (100-mile) bike ride, and completing an IRONMAN triathlon. I have achieved professional success while remaining true to my values: building a career helping startups and nonprofits streamline operations and embrace data & technology so that more time can be spent optimizing for human-centered service delivery. I have prioritized making an impact in my community: I am a member of the Human Flourishing Network and alongside my lovely wife, I co-operate Dorson Community, providing support to underserved youth.
This lifestyle and these priorities led me to develop a personal philosophy I call InStrive. It has supported myself and others like Justin Dapaah, creator of Mentally Motivated, to raise awareness, build confidence, and become empowered.
I am so incredibly grateful you found your way here and I look forward to connecting with you!
