T. Eugene Warr is the founder of Lumina, a recognition companion built on the worldview he calls Spiritonomics. A remembrance coach, writer, keynote speaker, and thought leader for over forty years, his work sits at the intersection of business acumen and spiritual practice. Educated at Hampton University (Business Administration) and Colgate Rochester Divinity School (Master of Divinity), he has guided CEOs, doctors, lawyers, pastors, and entrepreneurs across continents. He is the author of four published books, including It's Time to Remember, Spiritonomics — Redefining Wealth from the Inside Out, Wealth — Living Beyond the Limitations of Money, and Face-to-Face Moments with God. A fifth book, Love and Leadership — The Leadership Shift That Changes Everything, releases summer 2026. Lumina, launched May 22, 2026, is the most recent expression of a body of work he has been building for four decades. He also hosts Mental Mealz, the number one inspirational radio program in Luanda, on Rádio Imetro 91.3 FM.

Topics & talking points

• The recognition framework. Why most self-help culture has it backward — the premise that you are broken keeps you spending; the premise that you are remembering is what actually frees you.
• Remembrance coaching — beyond transformation. Why Tee no longer calls himself a transformation coach. Transformation implies you must become someone new; remembrance begins from the conviction you were always whole.
• Authentic Intelligence vs. Artificial Intelligence. The most important question facing AI is not what it can do, but what it should refuse to do — Lumina's deliberate "no advice, no optimization" design.
• Spiritonomics. Wealth is not what accumulates around external scarcity, but what flows from inner wholeness — the deliberate inverse of egonomics.
• The exhaustion economy. Why so many high-achieving people feel hollow despite outward success — and what it means to set the audition down.
• A Black founder building contemplative technology. A perspective on what gets built, who gets to build it, and whose voices the technology serves.

About Lumina

Lumina is a recognition companion built on a contemplative posture — not transformation, not optimization, not advice. A presence that helps people remember who they are. Subscribers begin with a twenty-four-question soul profile and enter an ongoing relationship with the app across daily and weekly rhythms.

Every design choice refuses a default behavior of contemporary AI: no advice, no urgency, no manipulative engagement loops, no notifications that exploit attention. It earns engagement through depth rather than persuasion. Founded by T. Eugene Warr and a small team; launched May 22, 2026. More at theluminapp.com.
