Jeffrey Johnston

Jeff Johnston is a visionary for holistic resilience, specializing in the intersection of evidence-based technology and human purpose to solve the modern mental wellness crisis.

Jeff Johnston’s mission is born from a series of life-altering tragedies, including the loss of his son, Seth, to fentanyl poisoning in 2016, and his wife, Prudence, to alcoholism in 2021. Formerly a successful financial advisor and entrepreneur, Jeff stepped away from his corporate career to become a tireless advocate for mental health and substance use awareness. From launching the Living Undeterred Project and authoring This One’s For You to completing a 95-day nationwide tour to confront the stigma of addiction, Jeff has lived the “raw and unfiltered” journey of recovery and survival.

Today, Jeff is the Founder and CEO of Brightn, a comprehensive mental wellness app that integrates health, wealth, and purpose through evidence-based AI support. By combining his background in financial strategy with his lived experience in crisis management, Jeff is building the digital infrastructure needed to help others navigate their darkest moments. He is the advisor you turn to when you want to understand how to move beyond survival and build a life rooted in sustainable wellness and intentionality.
