Gabriel DeSanti got arrested filming inside an abandoned building. He'll tell you it's the best thing that ever happened to him.
Because getting locked up made him miss a trip, which left him free to be in New York the next day for the opportunity that changed his entire life.
In this episode, Jun and Gabriel trace the unlikely path that led him to becoming the creator building “the world's longest resume" and now founder of Staj. They talk about the grit, grind and work ethic it takes to becoming a creator, how Gabriel engineers a two-minute video from three hours of raw footage, the story arc he uses to make people actually feel something, and a first-ever Creator Unplugged exclusive: exactly how much he makes (and where it comes from).
This episode is for builders, creators and anyone who's ever been told they'd never make it.
