To kick off this new version of an old thing, I'm once again talking to documentary filmmaker Clay Tweel. In this episode Clay talks about why he decided to take a break from social media and how seeing a constant scroll of your contemporaries on sets and at award shows can cause you to make unhealthy and more times than not unfair comparisons to your own life and career. We also talk about what it's really like to be a working doc filmmaker with a growing family and some of the decisions he's made, the missteps he's overcome, and the lessons he's learned along the way.

Of course, we also discuss some of his incredible films, including Finder's, keepers, the Wild Story of two men's Legal Battle Over a severed Leg, and Gleason, the Doc about former NFL Player Steve Gleason and his family's experience as he battles ALS. As always, I had a ton of fun talking to Clay. He's a great guy, and I think this episode is doing exactly what I want this podcast to be. It's honest, it's informative, and I hope you find it entertaining.
