amazing Jason Hare, the director of the last dance. He just won an Emmy over the weekend for the amazing documentary he put together on Michael Jordan and The Bulls.

Jason is an amazing storyteller, amazing director.

We talk about how he got into directing in the first place.

Some of the other spectacular sports stocks that he's done include Andre the Giant,

the Fab Five, and the 85 Bears. We talk about his never-ending quest to find out what makes the

greatest athletes in the world human, how he rose from the lowest levels of the ranks to

become one of the top documentary filmmakers on the planet, how the last dance came to be,

and the trials and tribulations he and his team had to overcome to finish the series.

This was a documentary, by the way, that got compressed on a timeline that was insane.

What it was like to meet MJ and how a fear of failure helped Jason get the most out of his

interviews with Michael Jordan. And then a

bunch of amazing anecdotes from Jason's interactions with Jordan and a number of the other people

they interviewed. There's a lot here. This is a really fun podcast. I personally loved the last

dance. I was a huge Michael Jordan fan. And I think Jason and team did a phenomenal job on this.

So without further ado, here is Jason Hare.

Jason, thanks for coming on the Woof podcast. My pleasure, man. Thanks for having me.

So you are a real inspiration. One, because you've created a bunch of documentaries that I've found incredibly inspiring,

namely the Last Dance.
