FOUND PURPOSE IS REMEMBERED.. Ty Tolbert. Tech Executive | Purpose Builder | Founder As a tech executive and social impact founder, my chapter reveals the power of aligning purpose with innovation. My story captures a journey from burnout to balance — and how leading with empathy and abundance inspired me to create pondHR, an AIpowered workforce intelligence platform and coaching/training solution designed to help people and organizations thrive through belonging, wellness, and purpose.

Executive to PurposeDriven Founder “ I’ve always been driven to create spaces where everyone feels they matter, they’re seen, and they belong“ The section I’m in, Leading with Abundance, it invites us to lead not from scarcity, but from a mindset of generosity, possibility, and shared growth. The leaders in this section model how abundance is cultivated—through empathy, collaboration, and the belief that there is enough for everyone to thrive. It’s a call to design organizations, relationships, and futures that reflect wholeness rather than competition. I walk through my journey of becoming — from growing up not always feeling like I belonged, to finding my voice and space in college, to navigating the fast-moving world of tech where purpose often meets pressure. Each chapter taught me that belonging isn’t something you find — it’s something you build. That realization led me to create spaces where others could do the same — spaces that merge wellness, data, and humanity. Today, through pondHR, I’m building tools and communities that empower people to thrive, lead with empathy, and live with purpose — at work and beyond. www.pondhr.ai
