We help people remix how the(ir) world works.
Only People is a network of experts designed
to help individuals and organizations change with personalized, project-based learning experiences.
Our work is inspired by the art of John Lennon and Yoko Ono and informed by the science and research of educators at Stanford University.
We use scientifically proven approaches
to help individuals and organizations move from moment to momentum.
From Moment
to Momentum
“Make no mistake
it's our future we're
making”
- John Lennon
We believe in the magic of making and we practice
the science and art of project-based learning experiences
in all of our work.
Because it’s not about the work we make; it’s about what the work makes us.
Only People was made from our work onboard The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus and the Stanford University.
Learn more about how The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus has worked to inspire people through the art and activism of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
Learn more about how the Stanford d.school approaches learning experience design and why the ability to “navigate ambiguity” is one of the most important things we can learn.
What does the work produce?
“Well, a million heads are better than one,
so come on”
The portfolio of work below represents projects completed by the people of Only People through the various roles and relationships they’ve had within and without Only People.

How might we help you?
Yes is the answer.
Or keep scrolling to learn more.
…
We help you see where you want to be.
What do you really, really want?
Yes. That is a lyric from the Spice Girls.
Because knowing what you want, what you really, really want, is hard.
But we can help you imagine the world you want to see and the person you want to be.
If you know what you want, then we might be a good fit.
But if you don’t know what you want, then we might be a really good fit.
…
We help you see who you need.
And we aren’t afraid to sing It Ain’t Me Babe in a meeting.
Our work is inspired by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, but maybe you’re not familiar with their work—or perhaps just not a fan.
We understand.
Maybe you need to hear something from ABBA, BTS or Nas.
Our working relationship—and the people involved—is no different.
We designed Only People to be a network of experts so you get the expert you need in any moment without losing any momentum.
…
We help you make the next step.
“I want to buy you something,
but I don’t have any money”
- The Drums
From JPMorgan to Zoo Labs, our working relationships spread across a very wide spectrum of “money”.
We make this happen by practicing Value(s) Based Pricing.
We negotiate working relationships leveraging all forms of capital, like social, network, material, and so on, not just “money”.
Then we find the format that works for you in this moment.
Formats
-
A spark. A jolt. A moment that shifts the way you see, think, and do.
Workshops are where ideas collide with action—whether it’s a half-day deep dive, a full-day sprint, a keynote that lingers, or a one-on-one session that rewires your perspective.
It’s learning in its most immediate, electric form. Fast, focused, and built to leave an impact.
-
Transformation takes time. A program is where workshops become a journey—a week, a month, a year of structured, intentional growth.
Led by expert facilitators, shaped by guest voices, and designed to build knowledge layer by layer.
More than an experience, it’s an ecosystem of learning that sticks, scales, and sustains.
-
No templates. No constraints. Just what you need, made just for you. The studio is where we craft bespoke learning experiences, designing not just moments but momentum.
From custom-built engagements to media that moves—films, music, artifacts that don’t just teach, but embed lessons into memory.
Learning isn’t just about what happens in the room. It’s about what stays with you after.
“Everything in the Universe is unfinished”
- Yoko Ono
Only People is becoming a world class, future proof & employee owned learning experience design studio serving our seventh generation by helping people remix how the(ir) world works today.*
*Only People is also a song by John Lennon featured on the album ‘Mind Games’ released in 1973. But it’s more than a song. It’s more than our name. It’s our melodic mantra.
