Jared Angaza is a visionary entrepreneur, strategist, and transformation catalyst who has spent 25 years building bridges between ancient wisdom, conscious activism, and modern innovation. As a co-founder of Passage, he's helping pioneer an ecosystem for human development that synthesizes Indigenous wisdom traditions with contemporary science and transformational practices.

A seasoned business strategist and brand architect, Jared has built and scaled organizations across the United States, Rwanda, Kenya, Nigeria, and Costa Rica, with particular expertise in sustainable business development, human rights, and social impact ventures.

Jared lived in East Africa for a decade, where he successfully launched and led multiple enterprises and initiatives, including co-authoring a bill on women's rights in Rwanda (ratified into law) and creating one of Kenya's most influential creative agencies serving multinational clients and training local Kenyan creatives.

Jared's unique value proposition lies in his ability to navigate seamlessly between worlds – from advising governments and international NGOs to studying with Indigenous Elders and Wisdom Keepers, to training Blue Origin astronauts in cognitive optimization, to helping global brands discover their authentic voice. This rich tapestry of experience informs Passage's innovative approach to human development and transformation.

Jared's deep connection to Costa Rica, where two of his children were born, and his studies of regenerative living and intentional communities there, uniquely positions him to establish Passage's transformational ecosystem in this cultural and biodiversity-rich location. His vision combines regenerative business practices with ancient and modern wisdom to create a new paradigm for human development and ecological harmony.

A devoted father of four, published author, and lifelong activist for Indigenous rights and environmental preservation, Jared brings both the strategic acumen and spiritual depth needed to scale Passage's mission of expanding human capacity for transformation and sustained vitality.

Through Passage, Jared is realizing his life's work of creating spaces where ancient wisdom meets modern innovation, where individual transformation catalyzes collective evolution, and where the principles of regenerative business serve as a model for conscious enterprise and planetary harmony in the 21st century.
