About The Fio Bros
We’re entrepreneurs & creators best known as the brothers from the Emmy-winning TV show, The Amazing Race. Together, we’re on a mission to inspire a happiness revolution.
In 2016, we quit our 9-5 jobs and co-founded Blankets of Hope, an award-winning nonprofit that teaches kindness in schools across 46 states and 3 countries. Our social impact has been featured in Forbes, Fox, CBS — and even on millions of bags of Lays potato chips.
We’ve taken our message from the TED stage to companies like the NBA, Google, and Amazon. Today, our viral videos and daily podcast reach millions every month, teaching people how to master their minds — and their lives.
Our Story

In 2016, we had these “great” high-paying jobs in tech & finance — the kind that made our Italian-immigrant parents super proud. But underneath the surface, we were miserable.

So we decided to scare the crap out of our parents and take the entrepreneurial leap of faith. At first, it felt like the ultimate high… until it didn’t. We literally failed at everything we tried for 6 months straight. We ended up broke, and even more miserable than before. Stress and anxiety were at an all-time high, and dry-heaving over the toilet became our nightly routine.

But then, out of complete desperation, we did something crazy. We attended a 10-day silent meditation retreat where we meditated for 100 hours straight. Everyone thought we had lost our minds. But the truth was, we found a level of peace and clarity we had never felt before.
Almost like magic, once we got the inside right, the outside started falling into place. Like when we shared a simple video of us handing out blankets to people experiencing homelessness on the streets of NYC. Somehow, a top venture capitalist on the other side of the country saw it, and emailed us saying he wanted to help. Nine years later, that small act grew into a global nonprofit teaching kindness to kids in 46 states and 3 countries.
For years, we were running after success, money, recognition — only to realize the peace and happiness we were looking for was inside us the whole time. And once we tapped into it, our entire life changed. Now, we feel called to share what we’ve learned with you — so you can find the same peace and happiness — within yourself.
