53. Are You 'Antiwork'?

This week on Catch Up & Clue In Amelia is talking about the star-studded party she was at this weekend and we clue in about the rise of the 'antiwork' movement and the ways Gen-Z is changing the workplace. We are referencing articles "Inside the rise of 'antiwork', a workers strike that wants to turn the labor shortage into a new American Dream" by Juliana Kaplan and Andy Kiersz and New York Times article "The 37-Year-Olds Are Afraid of the 23-Year-Olds Who Work for Them" by Emma Goldberg. Both articles will be linked below. We hope you enjoy the episode!

42. No Cap(sules) with Steph Hon

This week on Catch up & Clue in we are joined by the founder and CEO of Cadence Steph Hon! Steph is an entrepreneur committed to building intuitive products that make people’s lives easier, and the earth better with her highly successful brand, cadence. With a mission to eliminate single-use travel-sized plastic across all categories, cadence proves making the sustainable choice is always the best choice. After three years of working two jobs, self-funding, and diving deep into R&D, the team successfully launched in February 2020. Their first product was the first-ever magnetic, refillable, and life-proof container made from recycled ocean-bound plastic. Despite launching in the midst of a pandemic, their patented product had repeated D2C sellouts, and is loved by top-tier publications, such as the New York Times, The Oprah Magazine, Forbes, Cosmopolitan, NASDAQ, and others. The company has best-in-class investors, and continues on the path of making every aspect of our lives easier, better designed, and more sustainable. We are learning about Cadence and how Steph went about starting a company!
