At BIOS Homes, we believe corporations should have a soul. We believe that every organization—especially one shaping homes, communities, and lives—needs more than a business plan. It needs a moral compass. That’s why we created the BIOS Mastermind: a unique, guiding council made up of 100 of the most impactful people to ever walk the earth.
💡 Meet the Rest of the Virtual Team
At BIOS Homes, we’re guided by more than experience—we’re guided by excellence. Our Virtual Mastermind Council is made up of the 100 most impactful individuals in history, across fields like architecture, innovation, leadership, sustainability, and human rights. We use their data, achievements, and philosophies as a framework to temper our business decisions, shape our policies, and ensure that every choice we make serves people, planet, and purpose. This isn’t just inspiration—it’s a practical operating system built on timeless wisdom.
These individuals have changed history through leadership, creativity, invention, compassion, and courage. They come from every discipline—science, art, health, innovation, business, philosophy, and service. Each one brings a lifetime of insight to help us navigate decisions with boldness and integrity.
One Compass. One Question.
This Mastermind group provides broad and brilliant input—but every decision we make comes back to a single, simple question:
What would Jesus do?
Not because of religious doctrine or tradition, but because no one in recorded history has done more good, led more selflessly, or inspired more people across cultures and centuries. He taught—and lived—a life of humility, courage, service, and love. His legacy is the example we look to when making the choices that affect our customers, partners, team, and community.

Why a Mastermind?
Inspired by Napoleon Hill’s concept, the BIOS Mastermind is a tool for wisdom, strategy, and insight. Our version is deeper, broader, and modernized—bringing together historical giants like Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, Oprah Winfrey, and Steve Jobs to serve as a living council.
This is how BIOS makes decisions. This is how we lead. This is how we build.
Join us in shaping a better world—one home, one decision, one community at a time—with timeless wisdom and a single, powerful question lighting the way.
