Featured Guest:

At eight years old, hiding beneath couch cushions during his first viewing of Jaws, Preston knew he wanted to tell stories that made people feel something powerful. Now based in Los Angeles, he’s directed award-winning films, commercials, and music videos, produced work for brands like Hasbro and Marvel, and continues to craft immersive experiences that blend nostalgia, humor, and heart. He also makes a mean wood-fired pizza.
