Jack Shih is a friend of Kailea’s that she met while living in LA, teaching his daughter kindergarten. Jack is an Emmy Award-winning Animation Director and Producer. Jack worked on South Park for 20 years (Animation Director and Producer) and his recent projects include being a Director on Clone High, Little Demon, and Praise Petey. 

• Jack is one of Kailea’s favourite people in the world to talk to because of the way he thinks – he has a complex, uniquely sharp yet sensitive view on the world that always leaves her learning and questioning with unexpected moments of tenderness and vulnerability.


• Kailea and Jack discuss the challenge with memories. Do we believe what we believe ourselves because of what others told us about ourselves? Or because of our own lived experiences? 


• Exploring gossip, why we sh++ talk, what does it mean to be ‘in the arena’ vs. ‘in the cheap seats’ and how does this affect our perception of ourselves and others.


• Fear of ‘not belonging’ or being caught in a conversation not knowing what you are talking about.
