    The Humanity Behind the Headlines with KATE SNOW!

    She's here!! This interview has been at the top of our wish list for a long time. Most people know Kate Snow as the journalist they've welcomed into their homes for decades. We walked away appreciating her even more—not just for the stories she's covered, but for the humanity she brings to every one of them. In this episode, Kate takes us from Cornell to local news, CNN, ABC, and NBC News, sharing the moments that shaped her career—and her. We talk about earning the trust of people during the hardest moments of their lives and why the toughest conversations don't begin with the first question—they begin before the interview ever starts. We also get a behind-the-scenes look at live television, hear why music has always been such an important part of Kate's life, and laugh about a few moments that remind us there's a really fun and relatable person behind the anchor desk. What stayed with us most is that this conversation isn't just about Kate's television career. It's about curiosity, empathy, resilience, and the extraordinary impact one person can have simply by making others feel seen, heard, and respected. A special thank you to our friend Dave Price for introducing us to Kate. Dave, you've made so many wonderful introductions over the years that we're starting to think you deserve an honorary producer credit. Thank you for always thinking of us—and for bringing Kate into the Cornell (Thank) U family. Whether you've watched Kate for years or are just getting to know her, we hope you'll finish this episode feeling exactly as we did: inspired by the journalist, grateful for the storyteller, and genuinely touched by the person. Editor's Note: Since recording this episode, I (Michelle) had the chance to see Kate and Snowdrift perform live, and they were phenomenal. The energy was incredible, they played so many songs we loved, and the night had an unexpected Cornell twist—I was reunited with one of Kate's sorority sisters and our former housemate, Donna Pekala Kirsh, and finally got to meet friend of the podcast Joe Marraccino. It made an already special conversation feel even more personal.

    The Beauty Product Hiding in Plain Sight: Founder Rachel Glass

    What if one of the best beauty products has been sitting in your medicine cabinet all along? Three years after her first visit to Cornell (Thank) U, GlossLab founder Rachel Glass is back with her newest venture, le-balme—and the story behind it is fascinating. Rachel shares why she believes petroleum jelly has been one of skincare's best-kept secrets, how she partnered with a New York dermatologist to rethink a product that's been around for generations (what they've done is amazing), and why she couldn't stop thinking about this idea until she brought it to life. We also talk about what changed after GlossLab, what she learned the first time around, why she's building this company differently, and how she decides which ideas are worth chasing. Whether you're an entrepreneur, someone who loves hearing how products come to life, or just curious about the next thing you'll probably be throwing into your bag, this conversation is full of insights, honest reflections, and one product we have a feeling you'll be hearing a lot more about.

    She Never Wanted Fame. Then She Became Justine Snacks

    She never planned to become Justine Snacks. Today, Justine Doiron ('16) has built a community of more than 4 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, along with a New York Times bestselling cookbook. But behind the viral recipes is a story that's thoughtful, surprising, and deeply personal. In this episode, Justine shares how a Cornell Hotelie became one of the internet's most beloved food creators. She opens up about losing her father before college, the cold email that changed her life, the corporate job that forced her to choose between PR and social media, and why, even today, she says she never wanted fame. She also takes us back to her Cornell years—from Low Rise 6 to HumorUs, and the people who helped shape the person she would become. Whether you know her well as Justine Snacks or you're meeting her for the first time, this conversation is about taking chances, embracing unexpected opportunities, and finding the confidence to build a life that looks nothing like the one you imagined.

    They Invested in Her Future. She Built It - Alexis Gabler '24

    We had the honor and fun of talking with Alexis Gabler '24, whose connection to Cornell began long before she ever arrived in Ithaca. After her father, Cornell alumnus Fred Gabler, was killed on September 11th, his closest friends—including our Vino—made an extraordinary commitment to be a loving part of her life and to help secure her future. Years later, Alexis graduated from Cornell Human Ecology and built a career in fashion, transforming a remarkable gift into something entirely her own. Alexis shares her unique relationship with the friends who helped keep her father's memory alive, an incredible mom, her journey from New York City artist to fashion professional, her experiences navigating Cornell during the COVID years, and the internships and opportunities that led her from Sense-ational You and Saks to her current role at Theory. This is a conversation about resilience, community, gratitude, and what can happen when people invest in someone's future—and she builds something extraordinary with it.

    Mike "Vino" Levine has one of the most powerful jobs in sports as Co-Head of CAA Sports, representing some of the biggest athletes, coaches, and personalities in the world.
