Are you ready to overcome burnout and creative stagnation?


My name is Jon Bregel, and I've had a nearly 20-year career directing award-winning commercials. When I was in my 20's, my friends and I built a successful production company (Variable) that produced multimillion-dollar ad campaigns.But my biggest challenge was overcoming a loss of meaning and creative fulfillment. And now I want to share those hard-won lessons with you.

  • Reclaim Your Purpose

  • Protect Your Creativity

  • Find Balance and Sustainability

“I highly recommend getting coached by Jon. No matter where you are in your creative journey, Jon has been there and can give you great advice from real-world experience. One of the most challenging things in this business is that few self-help and business books were written for filmmakers. So, getting advice on everything from treatments to managing stress to battling those imposter syndrome thoughts has been invaluable.”-Guy Bauer, Founder/Creative Director, Umault
