What is F.U.N.

FUN stands for Finding Unity Naturally — a movement to help people connect and navigate differences.

It’s a message rooted in family, faith, and the belief that unity isn’t just idealistic — it’s essential. It's a way to stop the blame, the hate, and the division.

It’s a strategy for all of us — for our partners, kids, and future generations. And we call it FUN because that’s the spirit we want to infuse into it.

Unfortunately, the world is very chaotic right now.

But we believe unity is still possible.

If you believe that too, help spread the message of FUN.

What is F.U.N.

The world feels chaotic—and division is growing.

But most people aren’t looking for a fight. They’re looking for a way to connect, even when they don’t agree.

That’s where FUN comes in.

FUN stands for Finding Unity Naturally—a movement that helps people bridge divides, navigate differences, and build stronger relationships.

Rooted in timeless values like family, hope, and personal responsibility, FUN is a strategy for real life: for raising kids, leading teams, and creating a better future.

Because if we don’t take action, the division only deepens—and the next generation inherits the fallout.

We call it FUN because that’s the spirit we want to bring back—connection, kindness, and optimism.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Hey, It's me, Darren Nielson!

Over the last five years, I’ve been quietly processing everything happening in the world—and honestly, it’s been overwhelming.

To cope, I started developing personal strategies and frameworks—tools that helped me stay grounded and navigate the challenges. I quickly realized I wasn’t alone in my struggle. And when I began sharing what I was working on, others found it helpful too.

That’s what led to this passion project.
A movement—or more accurately, an experiment.

One some of you may have already heard about.
One rooted in kindness, personal accountability, and second chances.

It’s a heartfelt invitation to pause, reflect, and try again—together.

I believe in one simple idea:
Unity isn’t just possible. It’s essential.

FUNFest 2025 is an event I’ve been planning to bring these ideas to life. It's my greatest wish that everyone can experience what it feels like to be part of a family—or a community—rooted in respect, resilience, charity, and love.

That’s FUN.
