In this episode, Michael Batavia sits down with Jack Chen, cofounder of the environmental startup Stooped and a member of the NYU College Republicans Club. In the interview, they discuss the state of stooping within the NYC tri-state area and its growing importance in environmental engineering to better local environments and turn local trash into treasure. Furthermore, they go on to debate the current duopoly in the App Store and Elon Musk's challenge to Tim Cook over Apple's cut of the money that app developers are forced to give in order for their app to have publicity. Finally, they talk about the nature of the tech ecosystem with Twitter's layoffs and the importance of having hobbies that distinguish CS students from being fully in computer science.
