​At Third Monkey Productions, we believe there’s always a way forward — even when the odds seem stacked against you. Our mission is to help individuals and organizations break through self-doubt, uncertainty, and fear, unlocking the confidence and resilience needed to thrive.

​

The spirit behind Third Monkey Productions comes from the personal journey of our founder, Gene Burke. Gene’s path wasn’t one of instant confidence or easy success. He started out shy, anxious, and unsure of his own potential. Over time, through hard work, personal growth, and a relentless refusal to give up — he transformed his life.

​

That transformation took him from struggling with self-doubt to becoming a bodybuilder, powerlifter, martial artist, manager, public speaker, and global podcast guest. Through those experiences, Gene discovered a core truth: no matter how stuck you feel, there’s always a solution, if you’re willing to fight for it.

​

That belief is at the heart of everything we do at Third Monkey Productions. Named after the legendary “third monkey” on the ramp to Noah’s Ark — the one who knows there’s only room for two, but fights like hell to survive — our work is all about resilience, creativity, and finding solutions where others see dead ends.

Whether we’re helping individuals' step into their strength or guiding teams through challenges, Third Monkey Productions exists to inspire action, foster confidence, and prove that even in the toughest situations, there’s always a way forward.
