Haydn Hasty

Haydn Hasty is President of MindSpring™, Inc. He started MindSpring™ in 1994 in Asheville, NC with a 2MB Mac Classic computer and a dream. He holds a B.A. in French, a M.A. in French, an Educational Specialist degree in curriculum and instruction, and a Ph.D. in psychology. He was a dedicated student of leadership and behavioral development at a major behavioral science firm, Farr Associates, for over 10 years. He also studied at the Faculté des Lettres in Avignon and Dijon, France and was a former finalist for NC Teacher of the Year, having taught at the secondary level for 20 years. Haydn is the author of "Mind, Intention and Outcomes," “Courageous Choice: Transforming your Fixed-Tape-Loop,” “The 12 Invitations: Spirituality and Meaning in Daily Life,” “Training the Lower Mind,” “The Savitri Audio Files,” “The 21 Day Spirituality Challenge,” and is the principal designer of MindSpring’s impressive workbooks and materials in leadership development. He is also the author of “The Fathers of St. A,” a coming-of-age novel.

Terry Hasty, his wife, best friend and business partner, joined MindSpring™ in 1996. Haydn and Terry Hasty have been the principal designers of MindSpring’s Center for Integrated Leadership curriculum.  In 2016, Haydn and Terry expanded the Asheville campus with the addition of WellSpring Wellness Center in 2016, a pioneering effort that focuses on the increase of wellness in daily life.  In 2023, following 12 years of study and preparation, they launched the private, online project, “Becoming You Journey,” an innovative project focuses on the individual’s movement and growth from self-awareness to consciousness.

Interesting note: Haydn played baseball in college and was one of 30 teachers selected nationwide for a full scholarship of summer study in Avignon, France, at the Faculte des Lettres. Haydn and Terry served as summer baseball coaches for their East Asheville recreational league for 11 years.


Terry Hasty

Terry Hasty is Vice-President of MindSpring™, Inc.  She holds a B.A. degree from UNC-Chapel Hill and an M.S. degree in human resource development from Western Carolina University. She studied human resource development abroad in London, England, and has facilitated leadership and educational workshops across the United States and in Europe. She develops and facilitates programs for women in leadership, teams, education faculties, and corporate groups. She also serves as a facilitator and coach.

Terry is a primary teacher in both MindSpring™’s leadership services and TruthSpring™’s cutting edge online curriculum, the Becoming You Journey, now in its 3rd year. Terry and Haydn do not consider themselves trainers but as true teachers, with a vast background in public education that would lead to the creation of MindSpring™, Inc, in 1994. As Terry has said many times, “It’s not what we know, it’s how much we can cause others to know that is the worth of our services.”

Interesting note: Terry played tennis in college, and in her first career as a high school teacher, also coached tennis. Terry and Haydn are avid cyclists. Terry enjoys hiking on the Blue Ridge Parkway, paddle boarding, and playing with her 5 grandchildren.
