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!  More about Jay: Jay Chandrasekhar is a director, writer, comedian and actor best known for his work with the sketch comedy group Broken Lizard and for directing and starring in the films Super Troopers, Club Dread and Beerfest.

Happy Regular Guy Friday people! How the obstacle is the way. How words cast spells. How suffering does less to affect the senses than anticipation of suffering. How toxic situations are not real. How #BruceLee and #StarTrek have lessons left to teach. + RGF Bonus Square Dancing in gym class ?!
