Sam the Barber is from Kosovo, former Yugoslovia. He and his siblings became refugees and they split up all over the globe in search of a new start. Sam came to the US to make a new life for himself, and he did that by becoming a barber! I had no idea what the difference between a hair stylist and a barber was, much less what is required of the two. Learning about different people and their backgrounds is so rewarding. It puts so much into perspective, and I am so thankful to have been able to hear his story!

Seth Fowler is an industrial designer, and if you have no idea what that means... Don't worry, I didn't either! Seth loves shoes and sneakers SO MUCH, that he opened his own shoe business and DESIGNS all of his products himself. This is actually so much more work than you might think! From the physical shape, to the materials it is made of, there are so many variables to think of and consider that make his products stand above the rest. I am so glad that the founder of "Apthcry" sat down and talked to me about what he does, and what goes into designing real life, functional sneakers!

Jamie Mills not only is a dietitian, she is the recipient of weight loss surgery. She says the concept of weight loss is so different for each individual, and the idea of weight loss surgury has such a harmful taboo on it. Jamie and I are SO excited to bust those myths, get real, and shed some light on this very polarizing and "gatekeepy" industry.

We know I LOVE talking to different nurses within the medical field! Carly is a postpartum nurse, a field that I was not even aware was a thing! She works with moms and their newborns, and makes sure first time parents have everything they need before taking their babies home for the first time! You would not believe what the day to day looks like for nurses in this field, nor the crazy situations they often find themselves in! Make sure to thank a nurse, because they sure as heck deserve it!
