Won of One: A PLLRS Podcast
Two Lewis has spent his career operating at the intersection of music, film, and partnership, and Episode 18 of Won of One: A PLLRS Podcast traces every layer of that journey. Two opens up about The Tropic Sun and His Eyes, his award-winning film that premiered at Tribeca, and pulls back the curtain on The Nowhere Man, the number one Starz series he made with his wife, Naturi Naughton-Lewis. Two and Naturi's creative partnership becomes a window into building parallel careers while protecting a marriage, communication, and the discipline of showing up for each other. Lewis revisits his roots in music, from coming up at So So Def and witnessing Jermaine Dupri's underrated genius firsthand, to reflecting on how the industry's speed and intentionality have shifted since his early unpaid years in the business. About Today’s Guest Two Lewis is a Grammy Award-winning producer, executive, and co-founder of Take Two Entertainment, whose credits span the Tribeca Film Festival-selected Color Book, the Starz number one series The Nowhere Man, and the Off-Broadway production Duke & Roya alongside John Legend, Mike Jackson, and Kerry Washington.
