I had the privilege of collaborating with the gentleman on my Conscious Creative Movement profile, the most humbling honor of the decade personally and professionally. Huge shout out to David & Goliath Chairman & Founder David Angelo for the introduction.

My cult classic mockumentary film, “Dill Scallion” is online for rent and I’m giving 100% of the gross money raised to St. Jude Children’s Hospital, in fact I’ll match it. Roger Ebert called it “The country music ‘This is Spinal Tap'” so that sums it up. All star cast and a great cause.

It’s our 300th episode! And there’s no better way to celebrate than with my good friend Executive Creative Director Chuck Meehan giving us the straight scoop on commercials and his process for selecting filmmakers. We talk about what makes a great ad, how the production process has been sped up to its detriment and much more. 

Our Chrysler Pacifica collaborations starring Kathryn Hahn remain a career high for me. 

I’m helping with a GoFundMe to get a new sustainable-fuel disaster response bus to help Veterans respond and rebuild America after hurricanes with Team Rubicon, please donate. Veterans Green Bus 2.0 is the name and the video explains more!

Thanks,

Jordan

Chuck Meehan hired me for my first real commercial directing gig (a spoof for Kia below), and we’ve been friends & collaborators ever since. We’ve racked up maybe over 75 tv spots together. Chuck coined the term, “The Brady Method”, referring to my patented approach to casting, and he has the most dashing smile in all of advertising. He cranks out funny spots consistently, and helps foster creativity around the world. Listen, share, rate us on iTunes.
