“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” I think this beautiful quote by Mary Angelou is really consistent with our mission and purpose as a club.
-- NATE BOURG, CO-FOUNDER OF THE ACADEMY-SF
A New Beginning Nate Bourg, the co-founder of The Academy, shared his insights and defined the narrative of who they are and what they stand for. Before starting The Academy, Nate’s background was all music-related. At the time, he met his business partner, Paul Miller, while working at the San Francisco Symphony. One day at lunch, Paul mentioned he was looking at a property that had a fascinating history and potential. Once they walked inside and started thinking about it, the idea began to form, and about seven months later, the two founders opened The Academy.
