The documentary film ‘Confessions of a CEO: My Life in an Out of Balance World’ is garnering significant attention for its unvarnished examination of corporate leadership and personal transformation. Directed by six-time Emmy Award nominee Eric Gardner and distributed by Virgil Films, the documentary chronicles the journey of Tom Gegax, a former executive who transitioned from a profits-focused leader to a proponent of ethical business practices.
The film features insights from notable figures including Deepak Chopra, Dan Buettner, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., highlighting Gegax’s evolution and critique of contemporary corporate culture. Critics have praised the documentary’s compelling narrative, with reviews describing it as an ‘epically amazing documentary’ and a production that ‘plays like a thriller.’
Central to the documentary’s narrative is the dramatic shift in corporate compensation structures. Gegax illustrates how CEO-to-worker pay ratios have dramatically expanded from 20-1 in the 1970s to an unprecedented 350-1 today, symbolizing a significant disconnect in modern corporate environments.
As chairman of [The Gramercy Fund](https://www.gramercyfund.com/), Gegax has invested in over 100 companies committed to positive societal impact. The documentary explores his personal transformation and advocacy for conscious leadership, drawing from his experiences and published works like ‘Winning in the Game of Life’ and ‘The Big Book of Small Business.’
Released on platforms including Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV in February, ‘Confessions of a CEO’ has been profiled in publications such as [The San Diego Union-Tribune](https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/02/19/once-toxic-executive-shares-personal-journey-and-critiques-corporate-america-with-new-film/) and [Modern Tire Dealer](https://www.moderntiredealer.com/home/article/55266490/tom-gegax-focus-of-new-documentary), offering viewers an introspective look into corporate leadership’s potential for meaningful change.
