How theatre and 100 million people seeing my life helped me become a better person and entrepreneur

with Jaytesh Calpakkam


Jaytesh Calpakkam has a story unlike any I've ever heard before.

He is an actor, director, and entrepreneur. He is a CoFounder of The Internet Generation (learn more below) and over 100 million people have seen a web series called Fuck Buddies that Jaytesh acted in and directed - oh and it's based on one of his previous relationships 😲

While they were still dating, him and his ex-girlfriend decided to create a show based on their relationship and now over 100 million people have seen it. Wild!!

In this episode, Jaytesh talks about:

  • How theatre helped him discover who he is and how to be his authentic self

  • The ups and downs of running a company with some close friends

  • The complexities of acting and directing a show with his girlfriend (now ex) based on their relationship

  • Learning American culture from playing Grand Theft Auto with his friends and how that put him in hot water while on an Instagram Live

  • The discomfort and the reward of opening up to his parents and relatives
