Because Why started in a philosophy classroom.
A professor would share an unconventional idea, pause, and then ask, “Because why?” It wasn’t a request for quick answers. It was an invitation to slow down and examine the assumptions shaping our thinking.
That spirit carries into this work.
Because Why operates from the belief that most people want their work to matter. They need the confidence, skills, and coworkers to succeed in the face of challenges. And when they’re empowered collaborate and act decisively, they derive meaning from moving work forward without constant oversight.
Our careers are opportunities not only to achieve, but to connect. Not only to produce, but to develop. In a time when nearly half of core workplace skills are expected to shift over the next decade, the ability to stay curious and learn together is foundational.
This approach builds leaders we want to follow because they are strategically and relationally competent. It creates jobs that people are proud of and organizations that grow and adapt in the face of change.
Because Why isn't about having all the answers. It's an invitation to lean into the human side of work. To take new perspectives. To embody curiosity. To hold better questions and to keep learning. Together.
Businesses flourish when the people behind the brand are flourishing.

Meet Pancho
I’m an ICF-credentialed coach with a foundation in economics, philosophy, and positive psychology. I’ve built and supported growth-stage startups, worked in the outdoor industry, and guided people through literal and metaphorical ropes courses.
My work lives at the intersection of self-awareness and performance. I help professionals and teams develop the relational intelligence, clarity, and judgment that allow them to navigate complexity without losing themselves in the process.
I’m as comfortable in a hard conversation as I am halfway up a granite wall in the Sierra Nevada. Both demand presence, trust, and a willingness to lean into difficult questions.
As your coach, I’ll bring curiosity, directness, and humor. I’ll challenge you. I’ll laugh with you. And I’ll expect you to show up fully.
