It’s been impossible to have a conversation in the past few weeks without the word Coronavirus - and rightfully so, COVID-19 has been causing panic (and mass TP shortages) worldwide with its high contagion factor. Today we discuss the social impact of the fast-spreading virus. What’s worse, the fear-mongering on social media, the lack of adequate government response, or the rampant increase in xenophobic incidents?Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

Toxicity is a monster that manifests in many forms (and, unfortunately, isn't as hot or catchy as Britney Spears circa 2003). Whether it manifests in incompatible friendships, unhealthy cultural values, or pure self-sabotage, toxicity is always both a pain point and an opportunity for growth. In this episode, we get up close and vulnerable to explore the idea of toxicity in our friendships and ourselves. This week's guest, Natalie, actually opens up about her tumultuous 14 year friendship with Jeesoo and we reflect on how friendships can evolve, change, and adapt as we grow.Follow Natalie's Shiba Inu on Instagram @dangotheadorable Follow Natalie's Pomeranian on Instagram @cupofmaruchan Thanks Tiffany (IG @skin_unfiltered) for the topic suggestion! :)Follow us on Instagram @eatyourcrustpod Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

There’s a balance between not working hard enough and working too hard. There’s also a balance between carefully making an informed decision, and being cripplingly risk-averse. In the start-up space, balance is crucial. This week we invite Michelle, CEO of startup Tinctorium Bio, to chat about how she finds balance in her life and explore how she took the leap of faith into co-founding a start-up.  Michelle and her co-founder Tammy seek to provide a sustainable alternative to the harmful (and pollutant!) indigo dye in denim. Tinctorium Bio has been featured in global publications such as Newsweek and BBC and is an industry-leading start-up to keep an eye out for!
