He talks about his passion for animation and the nuances brought along with the art, and how the potential of this medium can be quite endless.

For this episode, Hans reflects and talks about the value of everything, from bad experiences, to good experiences, and most especially, to reflecting how these experiences shape how we are today.

GET THAT MD BRO! In this episode of Beyond Ambitions, Lorenzo and Hans bring in a special guest, Kim, as they delve deeper into the inner caveats of life in med school.

Back from break, Hans and Verge return in time for spooky season and talk about something that bothers not only them but a lot of us: our fears.

Ah food, the essence of the gods, and for Hans and Lorenzo, reminders of savory memories. The pair talk about their favorite foods, restaurants, and more.
