In this episode of the Provoking Prosperity Podcast, host Miranda Mitchell delves into the complex journey of Vic Lagina, former lead producer and director for Brazzers. Vic discusses his upcoming memoir, 'Filthy: The Rise and Pending Death of Vic Laina,' which offers a raw and unfiltered look at his two decades in the adult entertainment industry. The conversation explores themes of identity, truth, and the recalibration of life post-industry, emphasizing the importance of creativity and personal growth. Vic shares insights into maintaining authenticity, navigating intimate relationships beset by career-induced chaos, and the eventual peace found through reflection and shedding past identities. The episode challenges listeners to embrace their creativity and live authentically, even amidst societal judgments and personal upheavals.

About Vic

Vic Lagina is a former adult film producer, director, and camera operator who spent over 16 years behind the lens of one of the most prolific production engines in the world—Brazzers/MindGeek. From 2004 to 2020, Vic helmed over 3,700 scenes for studios like Brazzers, Mofos, Babes, Wicked, and Digital Playground, working with more than 1,500 performers including top names like Nikki Benz, Phoenix Marie, and Shyla Stylez. Known for managing high-pressure sets and shooting up to 35 scenes a month across multiple crews, he brought precision and stamina to an industry built on performance.

But beneath the metrics and media appearances—including occasional cameos on The Howard Stern Show—was a man unraveling the illusion. Vic’s upcoming memoir, Filthy: The Rise and Pending Death of Vic Laja, strips back the fantasy to reveal the emotional cost of a life lived behind the curtain. Now on a path of radical unbecoming, Vic speaks with raw honesty about identity, intimacy, trauma, and the long road back to truth.

Today, he lives outside the spotlight—grounded, reflective, and reclaiming creativity on his own terms. Through storytelling, music, and writing, Vic is reshaping his narrative—not as a director of others’ fantasies, but as the author of his own becoming.
