Organization: Second Thoughts Intelligence (Publisher)
Location: Remote / International
[Commission Based Start-up Fase]
Mindfulness Magazine is an interdisciplinary editorial cooperative publication that explores the relationship between human awareness, scientific knowledge, and societal development. Rather than limiting mindfulness to meditation or wellbeing, our International Affiliate Writers/Journalists & Designers publishing in the magazine, apply mindful thinking as a framework for understanding psychology, health, economics, technology, international affairs, sustainability, and culture.
Every article encourages readers to move beyond immediate reactions, question assumptions, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their communities, and the rapidly changing world around them. Through this interdisciplinary approach, Mindfulness Magazine transforms mindfulness from a personal practice into a practical intelligence for modern life.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Things you should know about this amazing opportunity:
- The role you enter applies with a voluntary commission-based construction in at least the primary three months in which you get paid per physical printed edition. Example: 2500 copies per month pays you at least €4.175 per month.. minimum..
- The smallest established magazines that get bought by consumers are printing and selling 1.500 copies a month minimum.
After creating the document file & design for the first editions, our account managers/partnership advisors will be running campaigns for distribution and advertisements from and within the magazine through hotels, wellness centers, yoga studios, healthcare organizations, universities, and mindful businesses across Metropolitan Europe.
Copies are scheduled to be printed and distributed monthly and seasonally.
Our Google ads test campaign generated almost 20.000 views within 3 days and left a CTR of 2.8%, with an international average page surfage of 15 minutes. If only between 5 and 10% of all our online readers turn into print consumers, the business construction becomes very dominant, and the hospitality service becomes an ecosystem.
The platform got enhanced, and the several articles got published. Our next advertisement campaigns will consist out of links to local pick-up points for the physical prints with free access to the online library, and all the writers their digital articles, with which then the physical prints consist local and premium relevant brand and service discounts with coupon codes.
