How DARE reached a global audience
DARE started as a book. Today it's a global platform — with apps, coaching, and a community helping hundreds of thousands of people overcome anxiety worldwide. BMD Publishing is the company that built it.

From book to global platform
Barry McDonagh's DARE method began as a book — and proved so effective that people wanted more. BMD Publishing built the technology to deliver it: apps, a coaching academy, daily audio programmes, and a community used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.
Technology didn't create DARE's success — it scaled it.
About BMD PublishingOur businesses

How we work
We take ideas and build the digital businesses to make them reach the world.
Ideas first
We start with an idea or a proven concept — not a technology. The product is shaped around what the user needs, not what is easiest to build.
Built to scale
DARE went from a self-published book to a global subscription platform. We build with growth in mind from day one — apps, infrastructure, and business models designed to expand.
We own what we build
We don't work on contract. We invest in and operate the products we create — which means we are accountable for results long after launch.
15 years of delivery
Since 2009, we have taken multiple ideas from concept to live product to global audience. That track record is the best evidence of what we do.
