Judd Apatow: "Never Stop Learning and Never Stop Growing"
Manage episode 477309755 series 1313033
What does it take to stay emotionally grounded in an industry built on ego?
This week, we sit down with Judd Apatow—the legendary director, producer, and comedy mastermind behind some of the most influential films and TV shows of the past three decades. From "Freaks and Geeks" to "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," Judd has not only created cultural touchstones but has become known as one of Hollywood's greatest talent spotters and mentors.
This conversation with Judd explores the inner workings of a master of craft—how empathy, vulnerability, relentless curiosity, and a deep respect for people have shaped his creative process, and how he stays grounded through it all. From Judd's early days obsessing over comedy as a form of connection, to his transformative experience with Steve Martin as a twelve-year-old fan, to leading with emotional intelligence on set, Judd reveals what it really takes to build greatness—not just in the work, but in the people around you.
Whether you're a comedy fan, a creative leader, or someone interested in the human side of success, this conversation with Judd offers wisdom about craft, relationships, and finding meaning in service to others.
I hope you enjoy this conversation with the incredible Judd Apatow.
