Filmmaker Max Joseph on Failure, Happiness, & Finding Your Creative Voice

Max Joseph is a filmmaker, digital content creator, and former co-host of MTV’s Catfish.

This conversation explores Max’s journey through the evolving media landscape and his search for creative fulfillment and happiness. We discuss his experience directing a Hollywood feature, the aftermath of a high-profile box office disappointment, and his new YouTube series on the science of well-being. He shares insights on straddling traditional and new media, creative struggles, the neuroscience of happiness, and the importance of connection.

Max is a thoughtful, vulnerable storyteller. And this conversation is a reflection of resilience and creative reinvention. Enjoy!
