About
The 8 Foundations of Wade8
​
1. Believe in Yourself.
Self-belief is essential. YOU ARE ENOUGH, and recognizing this is not only the first step to unlocking your potential, but to living a life you’re proud to remember.
2. Knowledge is Power.
Learn from those who are different from you and from individuals who inspire you. Chief introduced us to thought leaders like Eric Thomas, Ph.D., whose wisdom has guided me for years.
3. Help with Purpose.
Offer assistance that genuinely benefits others. True help is about understanding and meeting the real needs of others.
4. Take Initiative.
Be proactive in all areas of life—health, relationships, work, and play. Chief’s morning walks symbolize the importance of taking charge of your day.
5. Balance is Dynamic.
Life's balance is about more than work. It's about ensuring joy and relaxation are integral parts of your routine.
Even if it’s simply getting Peach Cobbler Ice Cream after a long day of work.
6. Embrace Life's Opportunities.
People often regret what they didn't do more than what they did. Pursue your dreams with courage; fear usually means it truly matters.
7. Be Willing.
Be open to failure, change, and curiosity. These are the keys to growth and innovation. Fail forward.
8. Create Your Own Opportunities.
If you're not invited to the table, create your own. You have the power to influence the world by being authentically you.
Wade8 is dedicated to fostering personal growth and resilience. Life can be challenging, and we believe the world would be a better place if more people were blessed with a mentor and instructor like Chief! Therefore, we aim to inspire you to live a life enriched by the principles of Chief Wade Dues… You’re welcome, in advance.
Why Wade8?
Our Founder, Caitlyn Taylor, wanted to create a brand that you can feel in your bones when you hear it. A name that evokes inspiration and perseverance.
According to Google, the definition of “Wade” is to “walk with effort through water or another liquid or viscous substance.” More than merely the Chief's name, to wade through water is to be resilient.
Someone’s life can look so easy and pleasant from the outside, and feel scary and lonely from the inside. At Wade8, we are here to help you get through it all, whether the water is gentle and refreshing on a hot sunny day, or like waves crashing down in a storm… you can be sure you have a community who supports you, and wants to see you truly thrive!
8 is a number that seems to pop-up in our Founder’s life through some of the greatest life lessons, and she believes it is a reminder that everything is about to work out.
According to Cosmopolitan, in numerology, the number 8 is "associated with the infinity symbol, representing continuous balance and karmic relief: Everything serves a purpose in the greater spiritual meaning of life." At Wade8, we live with the idea that we are here to serve a purpose.
Join us in this journey, and together, we can make a meaningful difference.
