We had the good fortune of connecting with Cait Medearis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Cait, how do you think about risk?
I think for many of us, when we begin really following our passion and what we’re meant to do with this life, we’re usually taking a major risk. I know that was the case for me–every aspect of my career in front of the camera has happened because I decided to jump in fully without hesitation. Even though my path hasn’t been as linear or clear as those of many other people, I’m able to do what really lights me up each day.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m just glad I was able to break out of the shell that so many people find themselves getting stuck in–I never limited myself. We are meant to be happy and to feel excited about what we’re doing every single day–anything else you’ve been told is a lie. Joy is the key.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
To eat–Sun Cafe in Studio City; Castaway in Burbank. To see–Griffith Park and the Observatory; Venice Canals. To hang out–Huntington Library Botanical Gardens; Santa Monica farmers market.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
This should be dedicated to Luna Wise, the first person to believe in me when I landed in LA and my manager to this day.
