Today we're talking with Nathaniel Remez, a soloist with the San Francisco Ballet. Nathaniel joined the company as an apprentice in 2016 and has spent nearly a decade building a dynamic career across classical and contemporary work — from Von Rothbart in Swan Lake to pieces by Forsythe, Ratmansky, and Yuri Possokhov.
In this episode, we talk about his creative process, how he approaches character work (hint: it involves reading Frankenstein 4 times), and what it’s like to grow as an artist within one of the most iconic ballet companies in the U.S.

On this episode, Jess sits down with Jesse Moss, the Director of Innovation at Experience Camps.
Experience Camps is a national, no-cost program offering one-week, overnight summer grief camps and year-round support for children who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, or primary caregiver. The organization also works to change the way society talks about grief and grieving people.
Listen to Jess and Jesse talk about ending the "shoulds" around grief, what to say when someone you love has lost someone they love, and the healing power of a good talent show.

Today we’re sitting down with Gabby Arancio. Gabby started off as an athletic trainer on the sidelines of the national championship-winning LSU football team.

She’s creating a company that makes skincare products made for people who sweat.

Jess and Gabby discuss the importance of helping athletes with their mental health, how she took her idea and made it a reality, and what it's like to get a new brand into the hands of people who will use it.
