Untitled Sibling Podcast (name not final) is a show where Rafa (a recent graduate working in the startup scene) and Abby (a chemistry major fresh off her first year in college) discuss their issues, learnings, biases, rants, puns, misguided beliefs, staggering insights, and everything in-between.

In this new podcast from Chua (the older and younger), we discuss not being good enough, why it's okay to have big, dumb dreams, and whether Mickey and Minnie Mouse are married. That and more in this episode!

Life's too unpredictable to live one plan at a time. In the pilot episode of Freestyle, I sit down with Joddi Chua as we discuss the process of applying design thinking to your life, the job hunt, why unreachable ideals are worth having, and why all of this means nothing without a bias to action.

Welcome to the eighth episode of So Far So Good, the socially distanced talk show about hope in uncertain times!

In today’s episode, I sat down with Mrs. Carla Manas, an executive coach who transformed her own experience of surviving COVID-19 into a personal advocacy and vocation. She is a founder of Alay sa Pinoy Frontliners, which seeks to support those risking their lives for public safety, and Covid Warriors, a support group for those who are fighting the coronavirus or know somebody who is.

Rafa and Carla discuss the how to make the most of every breath, giving beyond what is comfortable, and why true leadership is about doing good.

Welcome to the sixth episode of So Far So Good, the socially distanced talk show about hope in uncertain times!

We aren’t just facing a viral pandemic - It’s a misinformation pandemic too. To put a stop to this, the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network Youth (SDSN Youth) recently launched their interactive online dashboard on COVID-19, which aims to provide verified and easy-to-digest facts about the COVID-19 pandemic catered towards the youth.

Rafa and Rianna Bengzon, a Partnerships and Resource Mobilization Associate at SDSN Youth, discuss the designing for the youth, what "Sustainable Development" actually means, and what might be the most rigorous fact-checking system you've ever heard of. All that and more in this week's episode!
