    Preserving Generational Cuisine with Matthew Yee

    Matthew Yee is a food scientist and chef and the founder of Queenies, a really cool conceptual traveling culinary pop that takes the comforts of his Chinese and Jewish background to create meaningful connections with people in real-time. We talk about changing the food landscape through food justice and a focus on BIOPOC farmers locally and nationally and the issues that exist on the margins to help us create a more sustainable and equitable food economy. We also reminisce about foods that remind us of family and our attempts to recreate those feelings that surface around food and certain memories. Recorded at Spotify Labs in Brooklyn. Produced by Jarell Perry. Artwork by Julian Alexander. Music by Abjo. Yee is such a thoughtful chef and creative culinary person. He shares his dreams for Queenies and some of the techniques that find him solitude and quiet in the midst of the hustle of growing a business.

    Empathy as a Superpower with Faraz Zaidi

    Faraz Zaidi is the founder and creative director of Profound, a luxury streetwear brand. We recorded this episode during Ramadan (April 2023) and I was thinking of holding it until the next Ramadan but I think there are a lot of really interesting concepts we cover that will be valuable for people of all backgrounds. We reflect really deeply on the benefits of abstaining from many of life's temptations and how the month-long reset fuels so much beauty, introspection, and gratitude for the community. We discuss Zaidi's superpower which is empathy – he's such a sweet and kind soul who has a creative vision for not only clothing, apparel, home goods, and the world but the way he thinks about things is really unique. We also dig into compartmentalizing life's intricacies, reframing burnout, and what it's like to manage our time and energy in productive ways. Recorded at Spotify Labs in Brooklyn.

    Food & Friends with Anna Polonsky

    Anna Polonsky is the founder and creative director of Polonsky & Friends, a strategy and design studio for those who use food as a beacon for community. Polonsky also co-founded The Deligram, an editorial storefront spotlighting artisan food and its makers. We explore Polonsky's unique story which starts in France and builds depth and scale in New York at the intersection of food, brand, and hospitality. Meandering through the magic of food–a common thread in her family and upbringing–we dig into Polonsky's learnings working closely with restaurants, developers, brands, restaurateurs, and chefs to tell the nuanced stories only food can provide. Anna shares her path to an accidental entrepreneur and the daily practices she's picked up along the way to complement her lifestyle which is reflective of her personal style.

    Healing Through Pleasure with Fariha Róisín

    Fariha Róisín is a queer Mulsim Bangladeshi multidisciplinary artist, writer, author, poet, astrologer, and consultant based in Los Angeles. Born in Ontario, Canada, and raised in Sydney, Australia, Róisín explores the margins as a thought pioneer through the culture of healing. Róisín was so vulnerable and open in this conversation. We go super deep into healing money wounds, how our identities are shaped and how they relate to our perceived value and worthiness, and how those things are so integrated into the ways we interact with the constructs of capitalism. We explore the luxury of wellness and who gets to practice wellness and be well, we talk about art, food, weed, pleasure – and its role in healing. Róisín's best-selling books How To Cure A Ghost, Being In Your Body, Like A Bird and Who Is Wellness For? span poetry and nonfiction exploring delicate relationships with family, self, and the "other." Survival Takes A Wild Imagination is out Fall of 2023. Recorded at Spotify Labs in Brooklyn. Produced by Jarell Perry. Artwork by Julian Alexander. Music by Abjo.

    Dreaming Without Limitation with Deepti Sharma

    Deepti Sharma is a 2x founder, mother, public speaker, Forbes 30 Under 30 alumni, former New York City Council council candidate, and entrepreneur in residence at Columbia's Barnard College. Sharma is one of those people who truly cares about community and access and you can feel it when she speaks. We talk about the effects of capitalism on creativity, local politics and how everyone can play a part, why community really matters, changing your narrative through exposure to new things and people, and how trauma plays into your existence–and how to transmute it. Deepti encourages us to dream without limitation and change our views on what is and isn't possible. Recorded at Spotify Labs in Brooklyn. Produced by Jarell Perry. Artwork by Julian Alexander.

    Building Impact with Mark Brand

    Social impact entrepreneur, chef, DJ and food justice advocate Mark Brand, shares his layered journey and implores us to build purpose into the design of a business. He has created over a dozen businesses like a charitable kitchen, a diner, a brewery, a butcher shop – in many cases, made to support those struggling with food insecurity and addiction. We talk about Brand's past life as a DJ and nightlife dweller and how that propelled him to become sober, even after once winning a prestigious bartending award. He educates us on the links between poverty and food deserts which he reframes as food apartheid and we also talk about how removing caffeine, alcohol and sugar changed his life and the realities of facing imposter syndrome.

    Asking the Question with Marcus J. Moore

    Marcus J. Moore shares how he built a career by simply "asking the question," revealing the humanity in music through his writing and thoughtful approach to collaboration. An incredible music journalist, critic, and the author of The Butterfly Effect: How Kendrick Lamar Ignited the Soul of Black America, Moore graciously shares his nonlinear journey from a city-specific reporter to the imposter syndrome of writing his second book on legendary hip hop group, De La Soul. A contributor at the Washington Post with columns at TIDAL and The New York Times, Moore covers hip hop, jazz, and other niche genres and emerging left-of-center artists. Meandering through the practices and people that have propelled his double-decade career, Moore cleverly drops in soundbites of his favorite songs now available as a playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7gtJMYZrezATY9rU0fjUfd?si=-MPqSDd4RWWH13oWAeqNyw.
