What does it take to build a career at the intersection of creativity, travel, and viral content? In this unforgettable episode of The Logan Fields Podcast, we sit down with Jason Aron—an award-winning documentarian, film director, producer, and co-founder of youngry. Known for his boundary-pushing work in entertainment and his offbeat obsession with airline status (yes, he really flew to Singapore just for Delta miles), Jason brings a rare mix of storytelling, strategy, and pure hustle to the mic.

From his early days crowdfunding his first documentary to running full-scale productions for The Jonas Brothers, Jason’s journey is equal parts inspiring and insightful. But this isn’t just about filmmaking—it's about systems thinking, attention hacking, and what it really means to build something people care about. Whether you're in production, marketing, or just want to understand how people go viral by not trying too hard, this episode has layers.

Jason walks us through:

• How he crowdfunded his first film and why most people fail at it

• What it’s like directing high-pressure events like the Mayweather vs. McGregor press tour

• Why he never drinks coffee—and what keeps him running during back-to-back productions

• The real perks of Delta Diamond and why loyalty programs matter for business owners

• How he edits high-performing TikToks in under five minutes

• What creators get wrong about social media—and how to fix it

• His personal systems for staying efficient, creative, and relevant in a noisy world

Here’s just a taste of what you’ll learn in this conversation:

• Filmmaking & Production

  • The biggest gear mistakes new creators make

  • Why most viral content isn’t high-production—and why that’s a good thing

  • The one question he asks before every shoot to ensure it connects

• Travel & Life Design

  • What it’s like to reach Delta’s unpublished 360 status—and the absurd trip that got him there

  • How to leverage loyalty programs for personal and professional wins

  • The underappreciated value of airport lounges, elite rental car perks, and hotel upgrades

• Social Media & Marketing Psychology

  • Why watch time, not views, is the metric that actually matters

  • The subtle psychology behind on-screen text, audio timing, and video pacing

  • His biggest TikTok win: 13 million views on a five-second clip and what it taught him

Jason doesn’t just talk about virality—he lives it. You’ll hear firsthand how he captures attention in the wild, what he looks for in a shoot, and how consistency, not perfection, drives momentum. He shares how he helps his girlfriend, a pro pickleball player, build her online presence while juggling a demanding production career. And yes, we even get into his love of sushi, spicy mayo, and production snacks—because every high-performer has their rituals.

Whether you're building a brand, scaling a podcast, or just want better systems for creating with consistency, this episode gives you the mindset and tools to level up.
