CATCH UP SESSIONS

It's a Catch Up Sessions FIRST!

We are joined by a GUEST CO-HOST Jan Jizelle Ang IG@janjizelle, we got to to know the life and career of Jan Derrick Ong IG@janderrickong

Here's what the female Jan had to say: 

"Derrick is a human firework. He is a tower of energy, passion, and positivity – ready to light up the sky, or better yet, the #BOAmazing world around him. It’s this same positive energy which allowed him to embrace change: from being a doctor to becoming a multi-faceted entrepreneur. But beyond those roles, Derrick taught me how to see the ‘present’ as an opportunity to grow and do good.    

De can quickly conquer your hearts with his candidness and willingness to go over and beyond. From handling food, batteries, watches and a fireworks business on the weekday to a weekend of deep diving in the ocean: De will make it happen FOR you and he is there for you! 

Doc/ De/ Derrick - call him whatever - but one thing is consistent: his laugh, which you will hear a lot in this podcast. So guys: Listen, learn and be infected by De’s positive energy!"

Shekinah Bangsil IG@shekbangsil talks about dipping her toes into multiple careers before landing her calling to put up a business - facing the challenge of opening a restaurant in the middle of a pandemic PLUS discover how she eventually ventured into becoming your next Tiktok celebrity with food reviews. Lots of lessons learned and wisdom in this one! 

"When I met her back then, she was ambitious - full of dreams and goals to accomplish but she was still scared. Over the years I’ve seen her grow to become this powerhouse of an individual handling - learning every aspect of the business herself. Always eager to learn and make new things. I’ve been a first hand witness to how she juggles different roles in her life, with inevitably some sacrifices along the way, she just manages to get things done. With all that under her belt, she’s always willing and eager to answer questions, engage with others, and share as much information as she can to help. She’s a loving, sweet, transparent, thoughtful, encouraging, & reliable person. A constant source of inspiration and encouragement in my life." - Gabriel Tanangco

Franco Daza IG@francsdaza talks about the difference of acting in movies vs TV, shooting for "Ang Probinsyano" during the pandemic, why he took that break to work a corporate job and then, the "call back" into showbiz!

"Franco is truly a delight to be with and to talk to - with a cheerful and lighthearted aura comes someone who enjoys tackling relevant issues and challenging topics. One thing remains the same when having a conversation with him, he stays true to himself as he reveals his inner child-likeness, viewing life with much wonder and excitement topping it off with great sense of humor.  Blessed with many talents - acting being one of them, he continues to seek Jesus Christ in everything he does. His kindhearted spirit matched with his firm beliefs always make for an interesting, fun and fruitful conversation. Light and love- two things that Franco emanates to whomever he comes across." -Jovannah Yu

CATCH UP with Liane Reyes @leafylover.ph - a full-pledged plantita who graduated UP BroadCom. She tells us all about her stint in government working as a speech writer for an elected official, then the transition to the banking industry responsible for your credit card dining deals!

"Liane responds to every call that excites her free spirit: Broadway musicals and KPop, collecting plants and scented candles, travel and fashion, a continuous desire for learning and growth, and many other interests that show an amazing person living life on her own terms.

Over the years Liane has proven herself to be a modern Renaissance woman. Her talents include singing, dancing, acting and writing. She was raised to be an independent thinker and could carry such interesting and intelligent conversations showing how much she cares about society. Liane can also offer you perspective on a career in Industrial Engineering, Public Relations and Communication, Business and Finance.

Perhaps my favorite thing about her is knowing her as a loving daughter, sister and a great friend. It’s a rare thing to find someone who has the perfect mix of being fun and staying grounded, vulnerable and level-headed, and knowing how to be sensitive and frank at the same time. It’s definitely worth listening to Liane as she shares her pursuit of happiness and living life to the full."

Sheine IG@sheineysheine shares interesting tidbits in becoming a lawyer (signing the book of life-- of law), being in the opposing counsel against your significant other, judgy clients and how to just be your best kikay self (Elle Woods, is that you?). Also, get to hear about lawyering in the digital age with exciting initiatives coming up

"Sheine's always been a breath of fresh air from the usual misconception that lawyers are boring. She is smart and funny but takes matters seriously when it comes to defending her clients. She is passionate about her work and feisty inside the courtroom. One has to always come prepared as Sheine will surely dazzle you with her confidence and brilliance of the subject matter. Sheine has her heart for the poor and the underprivileged. Expect her to be vocal about stuff that affect the marginalized and underrepresented. She is an advocate of fighting for the oppressed and the respect for human rights. She's a firm believer that those who have less in life should have more in law. Do not be deceived by her slender physique. She may look young but her knowledge is par excellence. She is an empowered woman who knows what she wants and how to get it. She is a fighter, ready for everything that comes her way. She is relentless but knows how to have fun. She is ms. do-it-all. She is a rare find. Her destiny is already written but expect her star to shine even brighter!" -Fritz Sapon
