    Ep. 3: San Francisco's Underground Railroad

    In the late 1800s, San Francisco's Chinatown was a wild place. And for the young women duped into making the voyage from Shanghai, many entered a life of slavery and hell. But there were a few heroes dedicated to helping them. And they saved literally thousands of these women in what can only be described as San Francisco's own Underground Railroad. In this episode, we learn their names. For more about the underground slave trade in San Francisco's Chinatown and the women who spent their lives helping free these women, please check out The White Devil's Daughters by Julia Flynn Siler at https://books.google.com/books/about/The_White_Devil_s_Daughters.html?id=Ka1oDwAAQBAJ.

    The Ironic and Infuriating Origins of Monopoly

    In the 1930s, a down-on-his-luck salesman had an idea for a board game. He designed it, built it, sold it, and became one of the great American success stories. Except... that's not exactly what happened. And nobody knew that better than one badass woman named Lizzie. See the original sets of rules to the original game here: https://landlordsgame.info/games/lg-1906/lg-1906_egc-rules.html

    Episode 1: The Creativity Episode

    Do you consider yourself creative? When was the last time you did something creative that you loved? Or that challenged you? We're living in a time when we've got access to more and more powerful creative tools than ever in history. Not to mention ways to share what we do with literally millions of people. We can all be creators. This should be a golden age of creativity. So why do fewer people than ever think of themselves as creative? Why is more of what we create increasingly homogenous and formulaic? In my very first episode, I discuss my own battles with creative doubt and fear. And how I look at breaking out of it.
