Awaken. Create. Lead.
About
INITIATE ACADEMY
Academy (noun):
A place or community dedicated to study, training, or advancement in a particular field of knowledge, art, or discipline.
​
Originates from “AkadÄ“meia”,Plato 387 BC… awakening higher understanding and training leaders of thought.
​
Initiate Academy is a sanctuary for soul-led leaders, coaches, and creators answering the call to live, lead, and serve from truth.
​
Here, business becomes a ceremony. Leadership becomes devotion. And success begins within.
​
This is not just education — it’s initiation.
A journey from confusion to clarity, from effort to embodiment, from strategy to soul.
​​​
Welcome to Initiate Academy, the next evolution of purpose-driven leadership
There comes a time when the old ways of building, leading, and succeeding stop working — when your ambition has outgrown your alignment, and your soul begins whispering,
​
“There’s more. You were made for more.”
​
Initiate Academy was born for that moment — the sacred turning point when you remember who you are and why you’re here.
​
Founded by David Pineo, Initiate Academy merges ancient initiatory wisdom, trauma-informed coaching, and conscious business mastery.
It’s where the inner journey of awakening meets the outer path of creation — guiding you to lead with depth, clarity, and integrity.
​
Here, we just don’t teach formulas.
We initiate you into embodied wisdom.
You don’t just learn what to do — you become who you were meant to be.
