“I was like Malcolm Butler, I came out of nowhere and I won the Super Bowl of movies… then I went on a 15 year run.”On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the legendary Kris Meyer. Kris is an Emmy-nominated film producer behind some of the most iconic comedy films of all time, including Me, Myself, & Irene, Something About Mary, Shallow Hal, Fever Pitch, Super Troopers, and many others. He’s also a Boston native and media entrepreneur, most recently working on a podcast network startup called MuddHouse Media. We talk about Kris’s upbringing coming from a family of Boston Firefighters, why he chose to move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in film, the many challenges he faced trying to find his way in LA, how he serendipitously connected with the Farrelly Brothers, the most talented actor he’s worked with, what advice he has for people starting out in the film industry, how his health journey has evolved over the years, what he recommends to entrepreneurs when pitching a business or film, why he’s starting MuddHouse Media, and more. Kris has a beautiful life story of hardship, hustle, and going all in.Show NotesKris’s IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0583243MuddHouse Media: http://muddhousemedia.comKris’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/krismeyer?lang=en/
