The 525 Collective presents
The talk ends. The story doesn't.
A storytelling movement and magazine for the people who build long after the lights go down.
525,600
There are 525,600 minutes in a year. Whether you are on stage for five minutes or three hours, more than 525,000 minutes remain. That is where the real building happens: the companies, the classrooms, the communities, and the lives you shape. The 525 Collective exists to tell that story.
The Magazine
Your talk, your idea, and what it felt like to deliver it.
The work you lead and the difference it makes every day.
The roots, values, and motivation behind both.
Every featured member has the option to be on the cover.
Published in collaboration with AcknowledgeMINT Magazine and MODEx Studio.
Our Publishing Partner
Beyond the Stage is published with AcknowledgeMINT Magazine. These are some of the covers that have come before yours.
Our members are business owners, entrepreneurs, and executives. Beyond the Stage gives you something a business card or a link never will: a high-definition, professionally produced print magazine with you on the cover and your story inside.
The option to be the face of the issue, in full high-definition print.
A professionally written and photographed page that tells your story on the stage, beyond the stage, and who you are.
Place your brand right beside your story, in the same issue that features you.
A premium piece for your lobby, waiting room, front desk, or conference table. Clients and visitors see your story before they ever meet you.
Hand it to prospects, partners, funders, and media. Nothing opens a door like a magazine with your face on the cover.
Every member's reach lifts the entire founding class. When one of us is seen, all of us are seen.
This isn't a mention. It's a magazine with your name on it.

The founding issue costs $2,500 to produce. That covers design and the printing of 200 copies for our founding class. Feature pages and covers are free to every member, so the issue is funded through ad placements. We ask every member to help promote ad space to the businesses in their network. When the ads are filled, the issue is fully funded, and every member's story goes to print.
Founding Class
Our founding issue features the TEDxBuckheadAve speakers from the September 19 and October 3, 2026 events. These are the first voices of a movement that begins in Atlanta, grows nationally, and goes global. Beyond the Stage is built for every kind of stage: speakers, trainers, performers, and leaders.
