The Story Behind Off Center
What happens when a seasoned executive advisor and endurance athlete decides to challenge conventional wisdom in personal development? You get Off Center : Out of the Box – a brand born from the understanding that growth often happens outside our comfort zone.
Founded by Bret Magpiong, Off Center : Out of the Box emerged from three decades of observations working with some of the world's most successful individuals. As a trusted advisor to Fortune 500 executives, professional athletes, and entrepreneurs, Bret noticed a common thread: breakthrough moments rarely occurred in the safety of the center. They happened when people dared to step off their familiar path.
The concept crystallized during one particularly challenging GoRuck event. As Bret pushed through the physical and mental demands of the course, he realized that the principles that drove high performers in business mirrored those that pushed athletes beyond their perceived limits. Whether in the boardroom or on the marathon course, true transformation happens when we embrace discomfort and uncertainty.
This insight, combined with his experience as a C-Level executive and founder of the Rudius Strategies Group, led to the creation of our distinctive design philosophy. Each piece in our collection is more than just inspiration – it's a reminder that growth lives in the spaces where we dare to be different.
Our designs draw inspiration from the intersection of professional excellence and physical endeavor. As a finisher of the New York Marathon, GoRuck Tough, and Hermosa Beach Triathlon, Bret infuses each creation with the spirit of endurance and the wisdom gained from guiding countless individuals through their own transformative journeys.
Off Center : Out of the Box isn't just about looking different – it's about thinking different. It's for those redefining leadership, pushing boundaries, and ready to step away from the ordinary to find their extraordinary. Our pieces are conversation starters, wearing the stories of those who understand that the most interesting paths often begin where the familiar ends.
We believe in the power of stepping off center – not just in how we think, but in how we live, lead, and grow.
