Rewiring The Game

The "See No Stranger" Play with Erin Preston


Listen Later

In this episode of Rewiring the Game, host Jade flips the script. While sitting down with video producer and documentary filmmaker Erin Preston, Jade shares their raw experiences that shaped their own journey, from the rugged cliffs of a Greek island to the slow-moving villages of post-genocide Cambodia. Together, they explore how seeking out these high-intensity "edge" experiences can redefine a person's nervous system and their entire approach to storytelling.

This conversation is a deep dive into the "Transformational Trampoline", the idea that hitting rock bottom or jumping off a metaphorical cliff is often the only way to reach a new plane of existence. Erin discusses her current documentary project, Breaking Ground, which follows the journey of affordable housing in Boulder, and how she navigates the ego-driven world of business while staying true to a "slower is better" philosophy. Whether you’re feeling the itch for something more or struggling to find your center in a high-vibration world, Erin’s "Off Trail" perspective offers a refreshing blueprint for authentic success.
