Do you ever feel stuck?
I ask because I often feel stuck in some area of life. Sometimes creatively, other times relationally or professionally. Regardless of how I feel stuck, it leads me to a place of loneliness, frustration, depression, apathy and worst of all hopelessness.

When that happened to me a few years ago, I made a decision that forced me to live an entire life in 12 days…
I'm Marshall...
AKA The Tin Man, and over ten years ago I was stuck in a life that wasn’t me. I was a lawyer and had built the “successful” life society told me to—but I was miserable. So after years of prescribed medication and self-medication, I decided to try a new treatment: growth.
Taking heavy doses of personal growth every day enabled me to found my first tech company, speak on the TEDx stage, hit the Billboard charts, sell my first television concept, and direct an award-winning film. But it didn’t come easy.
It all started when life got unbearably painful and I decided to do something drastic…

What if you could live an entire life in 12 days?
When life gets hard, we typically either try to escape (distracting ourselves with all sorts of tempting vices) or make some major change like moving to another city or chopping our hair off—bangs are not a good look on me.
In 2014 when I was in that place, I decided to hike the Camino de Santiago in Northern Spain. Little did I know the profound impact that 12-day hike would have on my life. It was like living an entire life in 12 days, and it unlocked the storyteller inside me.
Since then I’ve been on a quest to share my stories through blogs, music, film and television.
Let's grow together!
If you resonate with my journey, I invite you to follow me as we explore the wilderness of life together. You can read a mixture of fictional and non-fictional stories on my blog, watch the films I make to experience the journeys of other fascinating characters, or listen to my music—a journal of my own pain and growth.
