I made a new film. It's called Unstuck, The Five Steps to Change. It's a 20-minute film about my journey

and also the lessons that I've learned from some really amazing individuals over the past few years.

I graduated college with $97,000 in student loan debt in 2010 and did the smartest thing I could think of at the time.

I bought a brand new car.

And so with about $117,000 in debt, living in my parents' basement, I'm pretty miserable. I'm

not really happy with where my life is going. But I took a few steps that put me in the right

direction, that helped me on a journey to get out of debt,

to get some freedom, but not only that, to do meaningful work, to create work that I was

really passionate about and I really, really cared about.

As a part of that journey, I made a documentary called Minimalism with some really good friends and the journey of

making that documentary was so difficult and there were so many challenges throughout the entire

process but I got to speak with some and meet with some amazingly intelligent people who surprisingly enough had been through a lot

of the same struggles that I had been through. So there were a lot of elements of these interviews

that didn't make its way into the film, but I thought it would still be useful and helpful to people.

So what I did was,

I made this film called Unstuck, where I used some of the deleted interviews, the extended

interviews that didn't make it into minimalism, as well as interweaving that with my story to tell

a little bit about my background. So I think you guys are gonna like it.

This film is, if you wanna watch it,

it's exclusively for my newsletter subscribers.
