The Ungated Code of Conduct

On the next page, you’ll be able to apply to become a member of the Ungated Collective.


Before we get to that, however, you'll need to agree to the community “code of conduct.”


It's pretty simple, but super important for the cohesion and success of the group.


So just read everything below, and if you agree to abide by this code, there will be specific instructions down there for what to do next.


The Mission


Make no mistake, we're all on a mission. The specifics of our individual journeys may differ, but we're all held together by a drive to take control of our lives and make a living with our films.


So here’s your new mission, should you choose to accept it:


We congregate in the Collective to build creative businesses. To turn the theory of 1,000 True Fans into our daily reality. And to do meaningful work in the world.


But we're also committed to building each other up. To learning by doing, then passing those learnings on to the next generation.


The Ungated Values


Every great community is underpinned by a set of values. They determine how we show up for each other, and how we show up in our lives more generally.


Here are the values that drive the Ungated Collective.


Curiosity: We’re all here to learn and grow and build better lives for ourselves and our families. In order to do that, we must remain open, curious, and ready to adapt. The world is constantly changing, and by remaining curious, we can maximize our chances of living a great life.


Action: The mark of an Ungated creator is that they don’t overthink every situation to death. Sure, they gather information and plan. But then they get out there, make things, run experiments, try and fail until they find what works. Without action, there is no learning or growth.


Honesty: Be honest about what’s working for you, what’s not working for you, and the results you’re getting. Be honest about the support you’re seeking and the feedback you’re looking for. And lastly, be honest when you don't know something or aren't sure.


Open Generosity: There are no “trade secrets” here. If something’s working for you, you’re expected to share it so that we can all benefit. We’re not competitors, seeking to grow our slice of a limited pie. Instead, we’re allies, seeking to make the pie bigger for everyone who wants a slice.


Freedom: Freedom means something a little different to all of us. But at the end of the day, we’re all here to make an honest living from the films we care about. Keep that in mind when things get tough. Fighting for your freedom is never easy, but it’s always worth it.


What We Expect From You as a Member


At this point, you know what to expect from the Collective. Now, I just want to take a moment to share what we expect from you.


Don’t worry, it’s nothing to crazy or demanding. But it’s important nonetheless that you try to follow through on this stuff.


Live the mission


Look at the mission and values up above. They're not just fluffy feel-good ideas, but useful guidelines for how to live your life.


So if you want to be a true Ungated Creator, here's what to do. Get out there and make creative work you care about. Think outside the box and experiment. Lean into the discomfort of growth. Get back up after you’ve been knocked down. Never compromise in your pursuit of a great life.


I can’t stress this enough. The best way to serve this community (and yourself) is by fearlessly pursuing the life you want. So get after it.


Give a shit about the wellbeing of other members


This one is pretty self-explanatory, and we’ve covered it quite a bit already. But it's non-negotiable.


Suffice it to say, we’re all in this thing together, and the more we help each other, the more we’re all more likely to succeed.


Show up and contribute


I don’t expect (or want) you to live in this community 24/7. You should be out there living your life and making things happen.


But a few times a week, it’d be great if you could pop in and contribute to this place in some way, even if just for 10 minutes.


Here are a few ideas for how to do that.


  • Ask questions based on what you’re working on, or just things you’re curious about.
  • Get feedback on a project, a marketing campaign, or anything else.
  • Share your experiences and the lessons learned.
  • Cheer other members on in ways large and small.


If you agree to these guidelines, I’m looking forward to having you be the next member of the Ungated Collective.
