Ep 7. What Successful Executives Don't Tell You ft. Kristin Chen (Director of Product, Soundcloud, Ex-Twitch, Pinterest, LinkedIn)
It's easy to compare yourself with people who look absolutely perfect on their LinkedIns. You always hear of the success stories on social media, but not the trial and tribulations. In this episode, I sit down with Kristin Chen, Director of Product at Soundcloud, to talk about the behind-the-scenes of her career path from working in consulting and then in tech (at LinkedIn, Twitch, and Pinterest). She's one of the very executives in tech who leads with confident vulnerability. On top of that, she's an Asian women leader paving the path for the rest of us.

Ep 6. How does dating work!? Who pays? Worst dates?
Dating nowadays is like playing 5D chess. There's a million dating apps and the social norms just keep changing. So how do you even know how to navigate it? In this episode, I chat with 4 friends - Josh (Apple, Software Engineer), Alanna (Facebook, Product Specialist), Alister (Electronic Arts, UX Designer), and Susan (anonymous). They'll share what their pre-date process is like, whether they kiss on the first date or not, and whether love comes to you when you're not actually looking. Video interview on my Youtube at Colors of Chloe!

Ep 2. How Teaching Has Changed from COVID-19 (ft. LA High School Teacher, Andrew Lin)
When school initially shut down for two weeks, high schoolers were ecstatic about the temporary "spring break".

How did administrations handle the shutdown? What goes behind the scenes when families are not ready to take care of everything at home? We get to hear the first-hand experience of a high school teacher from LA trying to get his students to pass his classes and graduate.
