Former Colleagues

Eunice Bae is an actor who currently stars as Grace Choi in Your Friends & Neighbors on Apple TV+, and she took anything but a linear path to get here. After studying graphic design in college and then years of odd jobs, she didn’t even start acting until a friend dragged her to an open call for a musical. From there, it was a slow grind of honing her skills and building confidence, largely without an agent! In today’s episode, we talk about the moments her career went 0-to-60, the slow times in between, and how Eunice still uses her eye for design as an actor.

Alfie Amayo began his journey in London, where he was surely going to become a doctor, until delivering a baby made him realize he wanted to do something else entirely. Long story short, he dropped out and built an award-winning gin distillery from scratch in Cambodia. In today’s episode, we talk about cocktail lore, being in your "yes" phase, and how it's never too late to start again from scratch. Follow Alfie on Instagram: @discover_alfieFollow this podcast at formercolleaguespod.comand on Instagram: @formercolleaguespodNew episodes every other Wednesday.

Jordan Thomas Law is a filmmaker and photographer who has reached audiences around the world. His work has screened in film festivals globally, and can be seen in Harper’s Bazaar, Elle Magazine, and Esquire. Like many of us, Jordan didn't know what he wanted to do in life: he worked in a restaurant, a bank, and then a clothing store before finally picking up a camera full-time. In this episode, we talk about when not to go with the flow, making interesting (as opposed to "good") choices, and the white lie that launched his creative career.Jordan has a music video coming out soon for Kristen Ingrid's "Good and Proper Finance Man", as well as upcoming interview work for Esquire, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar.Follow Jordan at jordanthomaslaw.comand on Instagram: @jordan.thomas.law Follow this podcast at formercolleaguespod.comand on Instagram: @formercolleaguespodNew episodes every other Wednesday.

For indie pop duo corner club, things have come a long way since they first nodded at each other from across the room at a college party, where they met through an acapella group. You might know them from their hit single "Manhattanhenge" or from their live shows in New York and SF. But did you know that they hit over 10 million streams on Spotify while balancing full-time corporate day jobs? In this episode, I talk to Sav & Mike about work/work/life balance, short-lived childhood pop star ambitions, and staying true to ourselves as artists. Follow corner club at cornerclubofficial.comand on Instagram: @cornerclubofficial Follow this podcast at formercolleaguespod.comand on Instagram: @formercolleaguespodNew episodes every other Wednesday.

Justin Sullivan is a recipe developer, food writer, culinary producer. After some time fooling himself into thinking he wanted to be a software engineer, Justin spent 2 years tossing dough and manning wood-fired ovens in some of New York's best pizza shops, and went on to work at Delish doing every job they'd let him do: dishwasher, chicken finger theorist, on-camera talent, and many more. He is currently a content creator for Food52, where his eclectic recipes and kitchen tips have garnered millions of views. In today's episode, we discuss imposter syndrome, learning to take a bet on ourselves, and why everyone should get fired (once). Follow Justin on Instagram: @jubstinsullivan@food52@food52hotlineFollow us at formercolleaguespod.comand on Instagram: @formercolleaguespod
