FSTVS - The Executive Sessions - Kelsey Mann

Season 1 · Episode 8

Thursday, September 5, 2024 • Duration 51:37

In this episode Julian chats to the director of the highest grossing animated film… OF... ALL... TIME, Kelsey Mann. Kelsey discusses his early passion for movies in Minnesota, where he grew up, and how that took him on a path, though not always direct, to Warner Brothers and Pixar and there through the ranks to direct his own movie. We discover the knock-backs and rejections in Kelsey’s career that only made him more determined and focused and that he credits for ultimately helping him to where he is now – a record-breaking director. He also sheds light on what makes good leaders and how to help further your career when you think you’ve hit a wall. Kelsey is wonderfully warm, generous and very honest about his journey and there is a lot to be learned from this chat. I’ll be asking him back for another episode as there is so much more that we didn’t get to cover but this is a great episode, so enjoy your time with the Mann of the Moment (sorry Kelsey). With thanks to Julian Scott, Janet Balmforth and Odilia Sickinghe.
