Offering free business training to individuals who feel marginalized by society, seek assistance, and aspire to improve their lives.

The Path is to The Person

Our commitment

We empower individuals in need by teaching positive and servant leadership principles. Our focus is on facilitating a unique formal process to foster meaningful connections and forge unlikely friendships, nurturing a loving community. Additionally, we are committed to constructing a new modern campus with inclusive facilities to provide comprehensive and humane support for people in need.

Ride The Wave Foundation (RTW) was established in 2023. We offer free business training to individuals who feel marginalized by society, seek assistance, and aspire to improve their lives.

We strive to bridge the gap between education and government programs, utilizing the skills of everyday individuals eager to teach and make a difference. With the surge of homelessness, RTW acknowledges that genuine power and transformation stem from personal connections and empathy from the inside out.

Here is a glimpse of some of the training we provide:

  • The Power of Positivity
  • Fueling Encouragement
  • Finding Purpose
  • How to Be a Go Giver
  • Goal Setting
  • One-on-One Mentorship
  • And Much More!

The Podcast

We believe everyone can learn from each other and that everyone has a voice, a unique point of view, and that there should be a safe, judgment-free space for people to share their personal journey with the world, no matter who they are or what they believe. To facilitate this, the Wave Podcast Show has been launched, providing a platform for individuals of all walks of life to share their diverse life stories. Interested in being a guest on the show?

How Was RTW Formed?

RTW’s founder, Jeff Fisher, was profoundly influenced by the unlikely relationships he formed. These connections led to the creation of RTW.

1st Interaction:

While walking down South Street in Morristown, NJ, Jeff encountered Lorenzo, who was selling splash paintings on the sidewalk. Lorenzo invited Jeff to view his artwork, sparking an engaging conversation. Jeff was inspired by Lorenzo’s energy and determination despite the challenges he faced.

2nd Interaction:

During a café meeting with Lorenzo to discuss potential collaboration, Jeff met Marc Robinson. Jeff noticed the numerous pens on the table, and Marc proudly shared one of his drawings. Despite their different backgrounds and appearances, Jeff and Marc built trust and formed a valuable friendship, realizing they had more in common than they thought.

3rd Interaction:

The catalyst for Wave occurred when Jeff encountered Darryl Zilinskis near his parents’ home. Jeff offered help to Darryl, who shared his story, leaving a lasting impact on both of them. Months later, Jeff saw significant improvement in Darryl’s life, marking a turning point for their friendship and the inception of the Wave concept.
Listen to Episode 1 of the Wave Podcast to hear Jeff and Darryl passionately exchange their stories.

4th Interaction:

Jeff’s last encounter was with Hal in a café. Despite Hal’s rudeness toward the staff, Jeff approached him with an open demeanor. To Jeff’s surprise, Hal responded positively, and they bonded over a shared interest in a book they admired. Their conversation shifted toward positivity and spirituality, creating a positive energy. Jeff discovered the importance of approaching others with genuine intentions to get to know them.
