#68 - Michael Medoway - Directing, Long-Term Collaborators & Self-Belief
from The Creative Gap · host Gian Carlo Stigliano
In this episode, Michael Medoway opens up about his late start in directing, his winding journey through Japan, and how fatherhood shapes his worldview. He shares the struggles of freelancing, investing his own money into early projects, and the emotional toll of balancing career ambition with family life. Michael emphasizes the importance of long-term collaborators, emotional awareness on set, and surrounding yourself with people who genuinely believe in you. He reflects on directing not just as a technical craft but a deeply relational role—one that requires leadership, clarity of vision, and the humility to listen. The episode closes with Medoway redefining success not by awards or acclaim, but by peace of mind, family dinners, and financial stability.Follow Us!Michael Medoway: Instagram | WebsiteCarlo: Instagram | WebsiteThe Creative Gap: Instagram | YoutubeSUPPORT THE PODCAST ON PATREON____________________________________________________⚙️ GEAR USED TO MAKE THIS PODCAST:Rodecaster Pro II: https://amzn.to/3RluSeVRode Podmic: https://amzn.to/3RpaR77Mic Stand: https://amzn.to/4caJUfiCamera 1: https://amzn.to/45h5E7bCamera 2: https://amzn.to/45g8iKxLight: https://amzn.to/3KK6XSt
