What if learning another language could give you an entirely new way to experience being human?
Jackie sits down with Brazilian-born storyteller, filmmaker and polyglot Jo Franco to talk about the power of language, the doors it can open, and the cultural ideas that simply can’t be translated into a single English word. Jo shares her journey from building the wildly successful travel brand Shut Up and Go to hosting a Netflix series and ultimately creating and self-funding Translated, her documentary series exploring untranslatable expressions and the people, places and histories behind them.
Along the way, Jackie and Jo dive into belonging across multiple cultures, finding home around the world, protecting your creative vision, and having the courage to prioritize the projects you feel called to make. This conversation is a fascinating look at language and travel, but also at what it means to fully express yourself and spend the days of your life creating something you’re proud of.
