Three years ago, I attended a program at The Monroe Institute that genuinely changed my life.

I left with questions I couldn’t stop thinking about regarding consciousness, perception, transformation, and what people are truly capable of experiencing.

Since then, this project has quietly been growing in the background.

Today, after reviewing 600+ applications and watching more than 250 applicant videos, my team and I finalized the 24-person cast for our documentary, Instructions for Leaving, which begins filming this July.

This film is deeply personal to me because I know firsthand how powerful these experiences can be, and I’m incredibly excited to witness the journeys the other 23 participants are about to begin.

Feels good to finally share this publicly.

More soon.

I almost didn’t send this video.

It felt too personal. Too uncertain. Too risky.

But in 2022, after 2 years of trying to connect with The Monroe Institute about a documentary on consciousness… I finally hit send.

That one decision changed everything.

Since then:
– I experienced their Gateway Voyage
– Collaborated on multiple projects
– Explored ideas about consciousness that are hard to explain
– Built a team that turned into real friendships

And now… we’re filming the documentary this summer.

All from one 7-minute video.

If you’ve been holding back on something—this is your sign.

🎥 More about the film is at the end of the video.

I’m madly in love with this crazy troop 😍 and for the woman who continues to wow me each and every day, you are an incredible mother and the best life partner I could ever ask for. Happy Mother’s Day @ktbraue!

It is with great sadness that I have to say goodbye for now to my brother, Doug Tremell Peeples @4mypeeples. He passed away yesterday night from a long hard fight with cancer at the age of 40. Doug was an incredible human being who positively touched the lives of everyone he was around. He always set a good mood with his subtle swagger as he entered a room and then lit it up with that laugh and sense of humor that was so contagious. Doug was a friend you could lay it all on the table with and have meaningful conversations that went deep and left you a better person than when you started. Above all else, he was a true man of God that cared genuinely and always lifted others up. His passing is a reminder that there is nothing more important than the people that you can love right around you. Remember that these holidays. There is no pandemic, political matter, or breaking news topic that should ever get in the way of being present for your friends and family. You truly never know how much time you have left so treasure the moments of now, make intentional & lasting memories, and love unconditionally. Those are just a few of the lessons I’ll be taking with me for the rest of my life, and I owe that to you, My Brother. See you on the other side ✌🏼 & ❤️

I just watched the most important documentary/film for the current time we all find ourselves in and I believe everyone needs to see it. This doc highlights a systemic problem in how we are served information on platforms like this one I am typing on right now (oh, the irony). I have been an advocate of not pointing fingers at one another, but pointing fingers at the tech that is shaping our behaviors and dividing us without us even realizing it.

This doc doesn’t care what you’re political leaning is, what religion you believe, what you view as fact or fiction. This doc puts a spotlight on a systemic problem in how each of us are manipulated by the tech we use every day. We must wake up to this and we must change it by constantly being aware and making others aware of it.

Please watch and let’s change for the better together.

It is an honor to announce the release of ADAM, a film I was privileged to pick up with Joseph Talbot and release to the world. Adam Niskar, whose story the film is based upon, was such an inspiration to so many of us. I am thrilled that more people will now get to experience why. Massive shout out to so many of you who worked alongside us to make this happen. I am beyond blessed to be a part of this with you all. Please go watch it and enjoy!
