Ep. 48: Get Out Of Your Own Way - Damon Gameau

Filmmaker Damon Gameau’s documentary films have inspired millions, from students learning about sustainability to farmers embracing regenerative agriculture. His vision for a thriving future is not just a dream—it's a movement.

Best known for That Sugar Film, 2040, and Regenerating Australia, Damon opens up about the moment he realized storytelling was his true calling. He discusses the personal struggles he had to overcome, the importance of surrendering to purpose, and how his films are making a lasting impact on climate solutions and regenerative practices.

“The magic happens when you surrender. If you strive too much, you might not find it.” - Damon Gameau

🌱 Highlights from the Conversation:

• 🌀 Overcoming self-doubt and imposter syndrome
• 🌍 How stories create movements
• 🔥 The role of surrender and trust in discovering purpose
• 🌿 Insights into his latest project, Regenerate Australia 2030

“We live in a society obsessed with control, but true purpose comes when you let go and stay open.” - Damon Gameau

Gameau was recently nominated for NSW Australian of the Year for his work in 'the Regeneration' movement. His '2040' documentary included an extensive impact campaign that has seen 1.5 million students be taught the curriculum materials, hundreds of farmers receive assistance to switch to regenerative practices plus the building of the first seaweed platform in Tasmania.

His current film is called Regenerate Australia 2030 and is a vision for Australia in 2030 based on interviews with a variety of Australians from differing backgrounds.
