495. Filmmaker Jay Chandrasekhar: the Lessons He Learned from Steven Spielberg & Johnny Knoxville + The Daily Health Practice He Swears By

Today we chat with filmmaker, director, comedian and writer Jay Chandrasekhar about everything from his amazing new app Vouch Vault to lessons he learned on set with Steven Spielberg. After one of his films wasn’t received well by critics, but was by the public, Jay didn’t let that affect him, but instead channeled that energy into creating his latest project that places the power of review back into the hands of the people.

Jay also gives us an inside look into making a movie with Steven Spielberg plus what he learned from the movie legend. He also shares what really goes on behind the scenes when making a Hollywood movie. And as a bonus, Jay shares his simple daily routine that keeps his physical health and mental wellness in check. We hope you enjoy!
