We don't just have ideas. We build them.

Cole Strange

Builder · Systems Thinker · Behavior-Change Obsessed

Cole spent years in emergency medicine watching people struggle with problems that rarely started in the emergency room. That experience pushed him toward a bigger question: how do we build tools that help people notice patterns earlier, make better decisions, and live with more intention? Now he builds at the intersection of behavior, health, and everyday life — including launching Steadi, a menopause support brand, and developing tools like Sazio. Dad. Entrepreneur. Recovering overthinker.

Weston Strange

Game Developer · YouTuber · Future Legend

Weston is the kind of kid who gets an idea and wants to see if he can make it real. Right now that means building games, making YouTube videos, and finding his own way into science, math, art, and language. He learns by making things, experimenting, and figuring out what works. Strange Innovations is a place for him to keep doing exactly that.

Tools for People Trying to
Live More Intentionally

I spent years working in emergency medicine, usually meeting people after a problem had already become a problem. Over time, I became more interested in what happened before that point: the habits, decisions, environments, and everyday forces that shape our health long before we end up in a hospital.

That curiosity eventually pulled me out of medicine and into building. Most of what I work on now lives somewhere around health, behavior, and everyday life. I like taking ideas that feel complicated or overlooked and turning them into something people can actually use.

Michelle Strange

Michelle builds differently.

Michelle has spent her career teaching future PAs and thinking about how people learn medicine. She's especially interested in what happens when good teaching meets better tools.

Some of what she's working on right now isn't ready to be public. That's intentional. The ideas are real, the work is underway, and we'll share more when we can.

Teaching & Mentorship

Years spent working with PA students and applicants have shaped how Michelle thinks about education, preparation, and what good mentorship actually looks like.

Why We Build Things

01

We chose alignment over autopilot.

After years in environments that slowly drained the joy from work, we made a decision — not to quit and figure it out later, but to build the alternative while we still could. Leaving wasn't the end. It was the beginning.

02

We want to model it, not just say it.

We tell our kids to pursue meaningful work. To follow curiosity. To not settle. But children don't hear what you say — they watch what you do. This is us doing it.

03

Building beats consuming.

There's something that happens when you stop watching things and start making them. You get better at thinking. You get better at failing. You get better at trying again. We build because building changes you.

04

Entrepreneurship is identity work.

Creating something isn't just about money. It's about proving to yourself that you can bring something from nothing — that your ideas have value, that your work matters, and that you don't have to fit someone else's mold to succeed.

"If you want your children to pursue meaningful work,
you have to be willing to pursue it yourself."

The Japan Mission 🇯🇵

We made a deal. If our apps, games, and projects collectively hit $30,000 in revenue, the whole family goes to Japan. The twist? We each picked Japan independently.
The destination chose us.

Why Japan?

We each independently chose Japan as our dream destination. The universe wasn't subtle about it. We're listening.

🎯

The Rules

$30,000 in combined revenue from apps, games, tools, and creative projects. No shortcuts. Just shipping things people love.

The Bigger Point

This trip is proof that creativity and entrepreneurship can pay for the life you actually want — not just the one you settled for.
