THE EVERYTHING EXPERIMENT™
Step out of autopilot.
Step into life.
An ongoing documentary series following curiosity into real-world experiences: Exploring culture, presence, and the human experience.
The Everything Experiment explores what happens when you step out of autopilot and fully into your life.
A Philosophy That Changes Everything
For much of modern life, we move on autopilot: following routines, expectations, and obligations without fully experiencing the life we’re living.
The Everything Experiment begins with a simple realization:
Life is finite, but its potential is infinite.
When we become present, we regain our ability to choose, to engage instead of endure, to explore instead of repeat, to live deliberately rather than by default.
This philosophy isn’t about escaping life or searching for perfect answers.
It’s about showing up — honoring our limited time by following our curiosity and allowing real experience to shape what matters.
That lens informs everything here, and it comes to life through three guiding principles:
Three Pillars
Live in the Present
Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. Right here, right now—this is where life unfolds.
Follow Curiosity
Curiosity is a compass.
Follow what intrigues you, interests you, and pulls you toward deeper engagement with life.
Experiment Constantly
Try the thing. Go to the place.
Let experience be the teacher, and discover what becomes possible through engagement with life.
Some ideas are best explored together, in real time, through honest conversation and shared reflection.
Austen brings The Everything Experiment into rooms through talks that invite people to slow down, pay attention, and reconnect with their own sense of curiosity and presence.
These conversations aren’t about answers or prescriptions.
They’re about creating space — for reflection, perspective, and the kind of insight that only comes from lived experience.Whether with teams, leaders, or audiences navigating change, the goal is the same:
to help people step out of autopilot and engage more fully with their lives and work.
