The eighth day belongs to you.
248 is named for the 248 bones in the human body — every one of them built to move, create, and pursue.
A platform for people who pursue.
248 Collective is a community platform and editorial publication for creators, athletes, builders, and anyone who refuses to let their craft be a side note.
We build two things: a place to connect with others who share your pursuit, and a publication that tells those stories with the depth and design they deserve.
The community is free. The stories are real. The standard is high.
The eighth day belongs to you.
Six days to work. One day to rest. That's the week as most people live it.
But creators, builders, and athletes know there's an eighth day — the one you carve out yourself. The early morning session. The late-night project. The Saturday that doesn't feel like a day off because you're doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing.
That day belongs to no one but you. And 248 is where it lives.
Stories told the right way.
248 Editorial is our publication — cover stories, series features, and long-form pieces about the people who pursue. Athletes. Entrepreneurs. Artists. Coaches. People building something real.
We don't do puff pieces. We build narrative, design around the story, and give creators the platform their work deserves.
Read the Stories →19+ editorial series. One community.
From flagship programs like the 24 Under 24 and Pursuit Leaders to Watch, to category-specific series on gear, nutrition, yoga, and craft — there's a place for every pursuit.
Built in Chicago. Built for everywhere.
248 Collective was founded in Chicago — a city that doesn't celebrate quiet. It's built by Alex Tomalski and 248 LLC, with a mission to surface stories and connect communities that most platforms overlook.
