Preston Kanak

Preston Kanak is a filmmaker, educator, and creative entrepreneur who is deeply passionate about building spaces rooted in authentic connection rather than surface-level networking. He believes in the power of shared purpose and the transformation that happens when people gather around what truly matters. His work and communities are shaped by the idea that life is meant to be lived with intention, curiosity, and heart. At his core, Preston is driven by wellness, creativity, and meaningful reflection. He comes alive when he’s exploring new ways to move his body, developing fresh ideas, or carving out quiet space to think and reconnect with himself. He thrives on variety and learning, while also valuing the stability that allows him to explore freely. Making a positive impact and seeing others resonate with his work is what keeps him energized and committed to his path. Preston is currently focused on The Living Year Project, an ongoing exploration of health, fitness, and sustainable habits designed to help people live each year with greater clarity, energy, and purpose. Through this work, he studies how small, consistent shifts can create powerful long-term change. His mission is to help others rediscover what lights them up and design lives that feel deeply aligned with who they are becoming.
