In this episode, Julia sits down with Ekin Olcay to talk about all things architecture and design.

Ekin is originally from Turkey, but has been living in Milan for over ten years. She is an architect currently doing her PhD at the Politecnico di Milano. Ekin shares what it's like to be a Milan resident, especially during Milan Design Week, when the whole city transforms into one big creative platform.

She reflects on her childhood, growing up in a family that moved around a lot, and how that shaped her identity and sense of space. Ekin also talks about her passion for Formula 1, the team she supports, and her hope to see a race in Istanbul one day.

Watch the blitz round at the end of the video for the best spots in Milan during the Design Week and more.

Гостею другого випуску On Human Journey (цього разу - подкаст українською!) стала Анна Рябич - підприємиця з Боярки, міста поблизу Києва. Вона поділиться, чому після закінчення найпрестижнішого університету України вона вирішила піти власним шляхом і розпочати свій бізнес.

Аня розповість, що стало поштовхом до відкриття першої кав'ярні Deer і салону краси Self Beauty House, які складнощі виникали на старті, про свій стиль керівництва та чому так важливо мати чітке бачення власної справи, а не просто відкривати бізнес заради бізнесу.

У розмові Аня розкаже про труднощі, з якими стикаються мешканці передмістя Києва, зізнається, чому наразі живе не у Боярці та пояснить, чому для неї важливо бути частиною покоління, яке прагне розбудовувати і покращувати рідне середовище.

Welcome to the very first episode of On Human Journey — a podcast by Julia Kril about real people, their inspiring stories, and the journeys behind their projects, businesses and creative ideas.

The debut episode features Yulia Popyk, a multidisciplinary artist and Head of Brand at Petcube, whose path has taken her from politics to creative leadership. Yulia opens up about her shift from a political career to the world of creativity and entrepreneurship, and how her projects, including Kyiv Dinner Club and podcast Thoughts Out Loud, are bringing her vision to life.

The conversation also explores Yulia's insights on soft power, a concept she discussed in a TEDx talk, and how it intersects with both her personal and professional life.

She also talks about her life and studies in the US, the decision to leave it all behind, and move back home to Ukraine.

Listen to the conversation and let us know what you think! 🧡
