No, I Don't Have Coronavirus Mar 11, 2020

Show notes

It’s been impossible to have a conversation in the past few weeks without the word Coronavirus - and rightfully so, COVID-19 has been causing panic (and mass TP shortages) worldwide with its high contagion factor.
Today we discuss the social impact of the fast-spreading virus. What’s worse, the fear-mongering on social media, the lack of adequate government response, or the rampant increase in xenophobic incidents?

Don't You Know That You're Toxic? Feb 19, 2020

Show notes

Toxicity is a monster that manifests in many forms (and, unfortunately, isn't as hot or catchy as Britney Spears circa 2003). Whether it manifests in incompatible friendships, unhealthy cultural values, or pure self-sabotage, toxicity is always both a pain point and an opportunity for growth. In this episode, we get up close and vulnerable to explore the idea of toxicity in our friendships and ourselves. This week's guest, Natalie, actually opens up about her tumultuous 14 year friendship with Jeesoo and we reflect on how friendships can evolve, change, and adapt as we grow.

The Balancing Act: Start-Ups & Sustainability (ft. Michelle Zhu, Huue Inc) Feb 12, 2020

Show notes

There’s a balance between not working hard enough and working too hard. There’s also a balance between carefully making an informed decision, and being cripplingly risk-averse. In the start-up space, balance is crucial. This week we invite Michelle, CEO of startup Tinctorium Bio, to chat about how she finds balance in her life and explore how she took the leap of faith into co-founding a start-up.
Michelle and her co-founder Tammy seek to provide a sustainable alternative to the harmful (and pollutant!) indigo dye in denim. Tinctorium Bio has been featured in global publications such as Newsweek and BBC and is an industry-leading start-up to keep an eye out for!

TikTok Queens and Twitch Streams Feb 05, 2020

Show notes

Here’s the Gen Z daily routine:

Wake up and immediately tweet about your dream.
Work out by learning (or struggling to learn) TikTok dances.
Fall asleep to the sweet sound of a Twitch streamer’s maniacal clicking.

NAH, we’re just kidding. But we did bring on our resident Gen Z expert, Yane, to discuss the evolution of mainstream media, especially the rise of streaming culture and the mystifying success of bathwater-selling e-girls!

Making It Big (Ft. Alvin Zhou, Buzzfeed's Tasty) Jan 29, 2020

Show notes

Behind the 10 second Tasty videos that filled your Facebook news feed, and the Making It Big series on YouTube that you always end up clicking (a 100-egg omelette? whaaaat?!), there are dreams of a young Asian-American boy who defied traditional expectations to achieve his dream. There’s countless all-nighters in a dark dorm room, slaving over every split-second edit of the clips. Oh, and there’s a borrowed DSLR that kick-started his whole career, too :)
This week we are excited to have Alvin Zhou from Tasty to talk about his unconventional journey to Making It Big!

Social Anxiety - Just Me? Dec 18, 2019

Show notes

How come it seems like everyone else in the world is totally comfortable meeting and talking to complete strangers? For Crystal and I, it takes a few pep talks, a close friend, or social lubricant (cough cough alcohol) before we feel more confident in unfamiliar social situations. Hopefully it’s not just us! Follow us along on our throwback to our antisocial freshman days to our journey in managing our shyness 🙂
