Studio Think: helping you grow through mindset

There’s no shortage of mindfulness and mental health apps out there. But most are designed to help you cope with the moment you’re in – few give you the tools to grow beyond it. That’s the gap Paul O’Sullivan and Katie Leask spotted. Both former airline pilots who became mindset coaches, they wanted to create something that goes further: a way for people not just to survive, but to truly thrive.

The result is Studio Think – a personal development app packed with mindset training, expert-led audio and transformative tools. From guided meditations to bite-sized theory, it’s built to spark real, lasting change. And early users are calling it life-changing.

In this founder interview, Anthony Rose chats with Paul and Katie about how their own journey through grief and burnout inspired them to build a purpose-driven app. Expect real talk about personal growth, the power of audio learning, and how Studio Think is helping people reprogram their mindset – one 15-minute session at a time.
