The 5 steps to change

Get my 27 minute documentary on how I discovered minimalism while living in my parents’ basement, what some really smart people taught me about success, and how you can steal what I learned to make big changes in your own life.

“I’ve always been fascinated by change. Why are some people able to turn their lives around, but others get stuck?”

Here’s the thing: my journey to minimalism started in an unexpected way.

In fact, it kind of sounds like one of those Mad Libs games you played on a road trip as a kid:

I discovered minimalism at 2am in my parents’ basement while watching Carson Daly interview the guy who directed Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

I wasn’t a minimalist yet. (In fact, I’d just made an ill-advised investment on a skintight leather jacket… oh, and was over $117K in debt.)

And I hadn’t found much success as a professional filmmaker, either.

So how did I get here*?

*Here: a filmmaker with 2 documentaries on Netflix, a YouTube channel with 3+ million subscribers, zero debt to my name, a lifestyle that lets me hang out with wallabies split my time between Australia and the U.S., and a bicep routine that people actually ask about.

Well that’s what

Unstuck

is all about

When I directed my first documentary Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things, I got to travel the U.S., interviewing some of the smartest writers, entrepreneurs and creatives in the world.

And as I listened to them discuss their own journeys towards living meaningful lives, a pattern emerged: almost everyone seemed to follow the same 5 steps as they made big changes to their lives.

So I made UNSTUCK to shed a light on that whole process, share insights I got from people who are wayyyy smarter than me, and help you get… well, the title of the film kinda says it all, doesn’t it?
