What happens when you grow up as the son of Netflix’s CEO, become a top movie editor, host your own podcast (“My Plus One”), and somehow stay one of the most emotionally intelligent straight guys we’ve ever met? You get Tony Sarandos.
In this candid, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation, we gin & chat about
* Growing up in the Hollywood spotlight and learning how to stay grounded
* How injury and loss forced him to close one dream and chase a completely new one
* The real story of working for Adam Sandler and navigating “Netflix Jr.” life
* His inspiring weight loss transformation and dramatic lifestyle shift
* And yes… a little Happy Hour hot take directed at the straight males of our generation
Whether you’re chasing dreams, healing from setbacks, undergoing massive change or just looking for a good story, this one’s for you.
