How W!CKED SAiNTS Studios Is Turning Gen Z Into Real-World Heroes—One Quest At A Time
World Reborn - Worlds' 1st adventure activisim game What if the points you scored in a game didn't just stay on-screen—but made the world a little better? That's the radical vision behind World Reborn, the flagship title from W!CKED SAiNTS Studios, a Black- and female-led gaming startup reimagining what it means to 'level up.' Co-founded by Emmy Award-winning storyteller and former peacebuilder Jessica Murrey, the company sits at the intersection of narrative design, behavioral science, and social impact—with the bold idea that games can make you stronger in real life. Murrey's story begins in Medford, Oregon. 'My mom was the blonde prom queen who went to college and came back to our small town to raise me—her little Black baby,' she shared. 'So I definitely knew what it was like growing up feeling different.' Despite the challenges, she found power in stories—and pursued a degree in journalism at UNLV. But she graduated into an industry in flux. 'I graduated in 2010, right when they said print was dead,' she recalled. She started her career producing awareness campaigns for a local TV station, telling stories of abuse and trauma after the fact. It felt reactive. She wondered, What if we could stop the bad things before they happen? That question took her to Washington, D.C., where she became Head of Communications at Search for Common Ground, the world's largest peacebuilding organization. There, she worked across conflict zones—Burundi, Nigeria, Myanmar—training youth activists, former extremists, and refugees in storytelling and 'common ground activism,' a practice centered around co-creating solutions even with those we disagree with.

'They deeply cared about issues, but few believed they could actually make a difference.' She and co-founder Alicia Clifton, a behavioral scientist, asked: What would it take for young people to believe in their power? The answer, they realized, was in games. From left to right: Jessica Murrey, CEO/Co-founder; Alicia Clifton, COO/Co-founder; Daphne ... More Larose-Molapo, CTO (founding team) 'Self-efficacy—your belief in your ability to accomplish a goal—is the biggest predictor of whether someone will take action,' Murrey explained. 'And games are built to give you mastery. You get better every time you play.' That insight became the foundation for World Reborn, a mobile story game designed to build confidence through action. Instead of paying for choices, players earn 'energy'—the game's core currency—by doing things that support their own wellbeing or help others in the real world. One mission might ask players to leave an anonymous note of encouragement for someone they know is being bullied. Another might reward them for checking the source of an article before sharing it. Every step reinforces that small, meaningful actions—taken together—can add up to something powerful. So far, players have taken over 25,000 real-world actions, and the emotional impact is already clear: 97% of players say the game makes them feel good, with many describing it as 'healing.' A standout partnership with Starlight Children's Foundation brought this idea to life in a deeply moving way. After hearing the story of Jade, a young patient who underwent a double lung transplant, players were invited to write uplifting notes to hospitalized kids. More than 7,000 players responded with custom messages. 'Being hospitalized can be a lonely and stressful experience for kids,' said Adam Garone, CEO of Starlight. 'Starlight believes healing begins with happiness, and support and encouragement are powerful tools in a child's medical journey. We are grateful to the thousands of gamers who have sent messages to deliver happiness through World Reborn, making a world of difference in the lives of many hospitalized kids.' Murrey describes the platform's philosophy in three stages: 'First you watch the hero. Then you play the hero. Now—you are the hero.' That shift in identity is at the heart of what makes World Reborn so resonant with Gen Z. 'They want to participate in shaping the world,' she said. 'They just need the tools to do it.' That belief is shared by Discord, one of the platform's early brand partners. Their collaboration during the teaser launch helped create real-world missions that supported mental wellness and connection—values deeply aligned with the Discord community. Savannah Badalich, Senior Director of Product Policy at Discord, emphasized the power of that alignment: 'In a world where genuine connection feels increasingly rare, gaming offers something profound—a space to discover who we are and find our community. Our partnership with Wicked Saints shows that games aren't just entertainment—they're sanctuaries. According to a sample of players that Wicked Saints surveyed, 97% of players reported feeling good after playing World Reborn—demonstrating that gaming can be a powerful force for positive mental health, well-being and social connection.' World Reborn is a real-world action platform with the experience of a story game. Fantasy narrative ... More gameplay meets real-life changemakers to provide bite-sized ways to improve your wellbeing, relationships, and the world around you. The studio's partnerships with brands like e.l.f. Beauty and Discord show how purpose-driven marketing can be immersive and authentic. Instead of interrupting the experience, brands become part of the narrative—offering rewards, recognition, or real-life perks tied to in-game impact. In World Reborn's teaser launch (which earned a 4.8-star rating), one in four players signed up for e.l.f. Beauty's loyalty program, and the platform achieved a 31% click-through rate—a staggering leap compared to the 0.1% industry average on platforms like Roblox. 'At e.l.f., we disrupt norms, shape culture, and connect communities through positivity, inclusivity, and accessibility,' said Patrick O'Keefe, Chief Integrated Marketing Officer at e.l.f. Beauty. 'We love seeing our community show up, have fun, and create meaningful impact. e.l.f.'s two real-world quests in World Reborn are designed to and boost their confidence—showing them that anything is possible.' Murrey added: 'What's fascinating is that players don't even see the brands as ads—they see them as part of the mission.' The studio's partnerships with brands like e.l.f. Beauty and Discord show how purpose-driven ... More marketing can be immersive and authentic. W!CKED SAiNTS Studios is led by an all-women, majority Black C-suite: Murrey, Clifton, and Daphne LaRose, their CTO and a former senior engineer on Pokémon GO. Backed by Riot Games, the studio is preparing for a grand launch in early 2026 and is currently raising a $10–15 million Series A. They're looking to partner with bold, purpose-driven brands that want to go beyond awareness—and help activate a generation. 'Our whole model is about aligning the incentives of players and brands to build a better world,' said Murrey. 'And we've already proven they will take action—if you give them the right story, and the right tools.' In an era of burnout and digital noise, World Reborn is quietly doing something extraordinary: helping young people feel powerful again. 'Our players are already strong, already amazing people,' said Murrey. 'Just giving them the tools so they can know their strengths and change the world—that's what makes it amazing.' Because sometimes, all it takes to believe in yourself is one quest, one kind act, and a reminder that the hero you've been waiting for… might just be you.

Wealth with aim: Purpose, Philanthropy, and Lasting Impact
Bradley Russell, head of Manchester and the North West at UBS Global Wealth Management, discusses how philanthropy, social impact, and legacy are transforming the future of wealth management and why clients are increasingly connecting capital with purpose. When Russell joined UBS Global Wealth Management, he was looking for more than a strong platform for financial advisory. He was seeking a firm where philanthropy wasn't treated as a footnote to wealth but as an essential part of it. 'One of the reasons I joined UBS is because philanthropy and social impact are embedded in how we work with clients from the very beginning,' says Russell. 'These are not side conversations. In fact, they often spark deeper reflections on legacy and purpose.' This approach is grounded in the belief that wealth should serve more than material ends. For Russell, it's about channelling financial success into meaningful, long-term change. 'To me, turning wealth into meaningful change means using capital intentionally, not just to achieve financial goals but to create a lasting, purpose-driven legacy,' he explains. 'That might involve investing in long-term solutions to systemic issues, supporting causes that reflect a client's values, or building something that benefits future generations.' UBS supports this vision by offering clients access to philanthropy specialists, global insights, and curated giving opportunities through its UBS Optimus Foundation, resources that make thoughtful giving both accessible and impactful. In the North West, Russell sees strong interest from clients in tackling inequality, especially in education, a sector where philanthropy can deliver measurable, transformative outcomes. 'The UBS Optimus Foundation's UK Education Collective Portfolio helps clients support organisations that are delivering meaningful and measurable improvements in education,' he says. He adds: 'The portfolio consists of partners that collectively are working to tackle educational disadvantage in the UK. It takes a holistic approach to dismantling barriers to education, both within and outside of school and across all stages of a child's education journey.' One such partner is OnSide Youth Zones, a national charity that creates high-quality youth centres in underserved areas. These spaces offer mentorship, community, and practical support for young people navigating some of the most difficult social circumstances. 'For example, we partner with OnSide Youth Zones... These centres offer young people a place to grow, connect with role models, and access opportunities that help them realise their full potential. It is a great example of how philanthropy and investment can work together to level the playing field.' The Education Collective focuses on three core areas: Early Childhood Development; Foundational Skills (such as literacy and numeracy); and Transitions, both between educational stages and from school to employment. This comprehensive strategy is designed to address root causes, not just symptoms. 'UBS also believes that place matters, that sustainable change requires social impact organisations to contextualise their work, and work in partnership with and learning from the communities they are looking to support,' says Russell. 'Particularly for the most disadvantaged communities, where a place-based change approach can be particularly impactful.' What sets UBS apart from its private banking peers, Russell argues, is the scale and structure of its philanthropic infrastructure. 'Philanthropy is no longer a side conversation in wealth management. It has become a core pillar of how today's families define purpose and legacy. Nowhere is that clearer than at UBS, where the UBS Optimus Foundation (UBS OF), its in-house foundation staffed with philanthropy experts, has turned client generosity into a global engine for impact,' he says. Founded in 1999, the UBS Optimus Foundation has raised nearly $2bn to date. But behind the numbers lies a deeper commitment: a dedicated network of nine local foundations and over 125 philanthropy professionals who actively manage a live pipeline of 370 programmes around the world. These include both grants and social finance investments across areas such as health, education, climate, and crisis response. 'For clients, this offers something few private-bank peers can match direct access to a pipeline of projects that have been vetted for impact and have reached over 44 million beneficiaries worldwide since 2014.' This model of embedded expertise and strategic giving allows clients to not only fund important causes, but to do so with confidence in the outcomes. 'It's purpose-built,' shares Russell. 'And it's making a measurable difference.' Looking to the future, Russell identifies several key trends that are redefining what wealth means, and what it's for. 'One of the most significant changes ahead is the great wealth transfer. Over the next 20 years, according to the recent UBS Global Wealth Report, around $83tn is expected to pass from older generations to their heirs. This shift is not just financial; it is already transforming the way people think about wealth and legacy,' he notes. Before this generational handover, an estimated $9tn will move between spouses often resulting in women becoming the primary wealth holders. This demographic shift is already influencing investment priorities. 'Because women are often outliving men, we are seeing more women becoming the primary wealth holder, which is bringing a renewed focus on values, long-term goals, and social impact.' Meanwhile, younger inheritors are carving out new paths. 'They are not always following in their parents' footsteps. Many are choosing to invest in ventures that align with their personal beliefs, from sustainability and social enterprise to purpose-led start-ups. Some are using their inheritance to back causes that matter deeply to them, rather than continuing with traditional business interests.' These shifts are forcing the wealth management industry to evolve. Clients no longer want to simply preserve and grow capital; they want to shape the world with it. 'Clients increasingly want their wealth to reflect who they are, not just what they own. Leaving a meaningful legacy is becoming central to how success is defined,' says Russell. 'At UBS, we help clients bring their purpose into focus, whether through tailored strategies or collective giving platforms like the UBS Optimus Foundation. It is about connecting capital with intention and building a legacy that has meaning far beyond numbers.'

‘Purpose over profit': Seattle tech leader urges UW CSE grads to create a better future for everyone
Trish Millines Dziko delivers her commencement speech to the graduating class at the University of Washington's Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering last weekend. (UW Photo / Matt Hagen) When she left her career in the tech industry to start the Seattle-based Technology Access Foundation, executive director Trish Millines Dziko did so with the intention of lifting up and providing greater opportunity to traditionally underserved students. In a commencement speech to the 2025 graduating class of the University of Washington's Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering, Millines Dziko urged the future entrepreneurs and tech workers to reflect upon the haves and have nots, the economic disparity in the U.S., and what the grads will do to combat society's most pressing problems. 'I believe you all instinctively know the world doesn't need more billionaires who just continue to build wealth,' Millines Dziko said. 'Our country, our world, needs more builders, more healers, more people who care enough to fix what's broken.' 'You can use your critical thinking, problem solving, ideation, creation and leadership skills to build solutions to some of the most pressing problems like homelessness, generational poverty, public education, the environment and healthcare,' Trish Millines Dziko said. (UW Photo / Matt Hagen) A former Microsoft program manager and senior diversity administrator, Millines Dziko has served for nearly 29 years as head of TAF, which offers an equity-driven STEM education program focused on critical thinking and project-based learning. In her speech (below), Millines Dziko told graduates that millions of people possess the same skills they do, and millions more will follow. Prioritizing relationships and building social capital will be a key to future success, especially if the students demonstrate the ability to be capable, reliable, honest, empathetic, and accountable in those relationships. 'I want you to understand that true impact doesn't come from what you accumulate, but from what you contribute,' she said. 'I hope you pursue purpose over profit, and let your values lead your vision.' Watch the speech (starting at 5:15 mark) and read the transcript in full: 'Over the last nearly seven decades of my life, the United States has been pushing the envelope on technology and engineering and for the most part leading the world. However, with the evolution of technology came the devolution of how we as humans carry ourselves – I'm speaking of how we view each other's value, and how we communicate. While we've developed some of the most amazing technologies and patted ourselves on the back for creating them, we seemed to ignore two pivotal outcomes that have changed us as a society: The gaps between the haves and the have nots has widened. And we no longer know how to effectively communicate face to face, with empathy and understanding. The top 10% of households control 60-70% of the nation's wealth, while the top 1% alone hold approximately 30-35%. And conversely, the bottom 50% of households hold less than 5% of the total wealth. And when I think about that, what that says to me is at least half of our citizens in this country are three bad months away from being homeless, and the trend doesn't seem to be changing for the better. When I look at our communication, we are so busy using technology as a proxy for engagement that we no longer listen — and I mean really listen to each other. Now obviously technology and our pursuit of it is not the sole cause of the ills of our society, but it's a major contributor. And when I look back, I believe that we could have and should have done better. We either didn't know to take the time to reflect, or we just didn't think it was important enough. So here we are. Graduates, you've studied through some interesting and challenging times, and you've seen firsthand the impact of our economic disparities. You see it every day just walking down the Ave or walking in the community around this university. With all the wealth we have in this nation, we could be better, but it seems we don't have the collective will. But I believe you all instinctively know the world doesn't need more billionaires who just continue to build wealth. Our country, our world, needs more builders, more healers, more people who care enough to fix what's broken. You can use your critical thinking, problem solving, ideation, creation and leadership skills to build solutions to some of the most pressing problems like homelessness, generational poverty, public education, the environment and healthcare. In the words of the late great writer, James Baldwin, 'Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.' Now to be clear, no matter what avenue you pursue, you must put in some serious work. As someone who has managed people and built and led three companies, I can confidently tell you that your technical skills are only going to take you but so far. There are literally millions of people with the same skills you have today, and there will be millions more to follow. All that hard work you put in to getting good grades and to be seen by prospective employers is just the beginning. Whether you pursue entrepreneurship or decide to work in a corporation, you need to prioritize relationships if you're going to grow. In other words, build social capital. You can use technology, engineering and social capital as the vehicle to creating a better future for everyone. I'm not talking about transactional relationships. I'm talking about relationships where there is a mutual benefit. Relationships where you are capable, reliable, honest, empathetic, and accountable: Show you are capable and knowledgeable in your field. Build trust by demonstrating your ability to handle situations and deliver results. and knowledgeable in your field.

Connect with people on a deeper level and build stronger relationships based on mutual respect and understanding. Be accountable by taking responsibility for your actions, both successes and failures. Show that you have integrity and are willing to learn from mistakes. As my friend Bill Spruill says, consider social capital like your credit score. You can't buy much with a sub-600 score, but when you raise it up through positive actions and interactions, you can get the things you need to build your future. But one late payment, or in the case of social capital, one damaged relationship, you likely will have to start over because bad actions spread faster than the good ones do. Personally, I have found that keeping healthy, working and growing social capital is easy if you take the time to know who you really are and stay true to your authentic self no matter what environment you find yourself in. Graduates, I want you to understand that true impact doesn't come from what you accumulate, but from what you contribute. I hope you pursue purpose over profit, and let your values lead your vision. Please, please create solutions that lift people up and improve communities. Because in the end, changing the world isn't about being remembered — it's about doing things worth remembering. Congratulations, Class of 2025. Go out and build a life that matters. Thank you.' — Trish Millines Dziko

Social Entrepreneurship & Hospitality: From Definition to Action
What if 'social' wasn't just a buzzword but a strategic redefinition of what businesses aim to achieve? In a world facing increasingly complex challenges, from social inequality to environmental challenges, social entrepreneurship is inspiring a shift in how entrepreneurs and organizations pursue positive social impact. Far from being limited to non-profits or grassroots movements, social entrepreneurship is now recognized as a driving force across sectors. It provides a powerful lens to rethink how industries like hospitality and tourism can generate positive social impact, not as a side effect, but as a core purpose. But what exactly is social entrepreneurship? How does it diverge from the more widespread model of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), and why might hospitality and tourism be uniquely positioned to lead this shift within their sector and channel broader business transformation? What is Social Entrepreneurship in Practice? Social entrepreneurship is the process of identifying and developing opportunities aimed at creating social value (Bacq & Kickul, 2022). It's uniqueness is that it blends entrepreneurial practices with the mission to address deeply embedded social problems. At its core, social entrepreneurship is about using business tools to for social value creation: inclusion, dignity, sustainability, access, opportunity, etc. Social entrepreneurship differs from CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) in one key way: it embeds purpose into the business model itself. It's not about giving back; it's about building differently from the start. Rooted in a long-standing call to move beyond short-term value capture, social entrepreneurship challenges us to reconsider what business tools are for and, more importantly, who they should serve. Social entrepreneurs measure success in terms like social return on investment, impact metrics, and community engagement, while ensuring economic viability. They aren't merely businesspeople with a conscience, they are system thinkers, often acting as institutional entrepreneurs who question norms and reshape social ecosystems. What makes a Social Entrepreneur? A social entrepreneur is someone who innovates with intention, weaving together profitability and purpose. Scholars such as Zahra et al. (2009) offer a helpful typology: The bricoleur, working resourcefully within constraints. The constructionist, designing new institutional models. The engineer, aiming for scalable, systemic change. These archetypes go beyond good intentions. They reflect the strategic mindset and resilience it takes to drive both social and business transformation. Hospitality and Tourism as Engines for Positive Impact The hospitality and tourism sectors are uniquely positioned to lead this change. They are inherently relational, grounded in people, place, and culture. They employ millions, impact local communities, shape global perceptions, and contribute significantly to GDPs. But they also face serious scrutiny: labor exploitation, environmental strain, cultural commodification. This duality makes the industry a fertile ground for social entrepreneurs. By rethinking value chains, from sourcing to staffing to guest experience, hospitality ventures can become catalysts for positive social impact. And some already are: Albergo Etico: Empowering workers with disabilities in hotel operations. Tablée des chefs: Bridging the gap between food surplus and food insecurity Reffetorio: Transforming surplus food into meals for those in need. These aren't fringe projects; they are blueprints for a more inclusive and regenerative industry. Characteristics of a Social Entrepreneur in Hospitality What distinguishes social entrepreneurs in our industry? They master customer experience, and they design with people inclusively. They embed cultural intelligence and local empowerment into their business models. They balance profitability with long-term impact metrics (i.e. economic, environmental, and human). They also often fly under the radar. Many impactful ventures remain underfunded or unseen by the wider public or policy ecosystem. That's why we've created the Social Entrepreneurship in Hospitality & Tourism Directory: a curated, living library of businesses, founders, and case studies that are transforming the role of hospitality in society. A Call for Engagement: Hospitality for Social Impact It is time to revisit how business is taught, practiced, and measured. While debates around corporate purpose have gained momentum, much of the dialogue remains theoretical or disconnected from practice. Yet, across the hospitality and tourism sectors, social entrepreneurs are already demonstrating what it means to generate both economic value and positive social impact, often with limited visibility or support. This article marks the launch of a new section on EHL Insights: 'Hospitality for Social Impact.' It's not just a category, it's a commitment. A space where we will regularly showcase individuals and organizations using hospitality to create positive social impact. A resource for educators, entrepreneurs, investors, students, and curious minds who want to explore what a purpose-driven hospitality industry might look like. So, what can you do? Explore our curated Directory Share initiatives from your community so others can learn from the Join the conversation: contribute ideas, stories, questions, or even challenges you are facing. May be these exchanges can grow into shared solutions. We believe hospitality can shape. And with the right tools and intent, it already is. Sources Bacq, S., & Kickul, J. R. (2022).
