In this episode, Nourish founder Jon Bregel sits down with filmmaker Jake Viramontez, founder of SOWN, a nonprofit storytelling organization, for a conversation about purpose, storytelling, and building a career that serves something bigger than yourself.
After years directing commercial and branded content for companies like Sony, Chevrolet, Pepsi, American Airlines, and the United Nations, Jake found himself wrestling with what he describes as a “gaping hole” within himself. Rather than ignoring that feeling, he followed it. That journey ultimately led him to create SOWN, a nonprofit dedicated to producing films for organizations creating meaningful change around the world.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
• Why many filmmakers eventually begin searching for deeper purpose in their work
• How storytelling can become an act of service rather than self-promotion
• Why success and fulfillment aren’t always the same thing
• The role curiosity plays in becoming a better storyteller
• How purpose often emerges through paying attention to what won’t leave you alone
• Why the stories we tell shape both our audiences and ourselves
• What it looks like to build a career around contribution, generosity, and impact
This episode is ultimately about more than filmmaking. It’s about paying attention to the quiet invitations that call us toward a life and career that feel more aligned with who we are and what we value.
