the ungated OS - the art of joyful creative business
the ungatedOS is set of principles for navigating the messy world of internet business.
it's for creatives who yearn to walk their own path. it's for those of us who look around at the loudest voices in the marketing space and think "ew, there's gotta be a better way than this."
my promise is that integrating this operating system into your digital life can lead you to...
have way more fucking fun on the internet than you previously believed possible
do the creative work nobody else but you could
market yourself in a way that feels easy, playful, and deeply respectful
iterate your way into a business model you enjoy
get out of your head, and out of your own way
lay the foundation for a meaningful, connected, flourishing life
this is not a get rich quick scheme. i will not tell you how to 10x anything or go viral. fuck all of that noise.
instead, this is about designing a long-term game you enjoy playing. it's about using the wild power of the internet to come alive creatively, find your people, and build something that matters.
more and more, i believe the creators who are truest to themselves, and who are having the most fun, will be the ones who are still flourishing in ten years.
so yeah, you are hereby formally invited to come learn the operating system and test it for yourself. it's made a world of difference for my enjoyment of life, and i suspect it'll do something similar for you.

but rob, will there be a recording?
fuck yeah. you get access to it for life.
who are you, and why should i trust you to teach me stuff?
name's rob hardy, and though i've been in and around the marketing world for 10 years, i am actively trying to unlearn everything i picked up there. the traditional way of marketing doesn't vibe with me anymore, and it doesn't fit in to how i want to live my life.
in other words, if you're looking for an Authoritative Expert Thought Leader™ to teach you Best Practices For 10xing Your Growth™ then i suggest looking elsewhere. that's not who i am, and that's not what this workshop is.
at this point, i'm just some random guy on the internet who's been searching for better ways. and i've found quite a few. so if you, like me, are deeply tired of the traditional advice, and want to be your own authority and make your own path, then i think you'll get a lot from this workshop. it's gonna be rad.
