Ep. 37 Solo Session with Anna Part II
Hey friends! Welcome back to another episode!
On this episode, Anna is going solo again! Just like Ep. 26, Anna will be answering six questions created by Esther.
Here are the questions she will be answering:
1.What are the most used applications on your phone? Is there an application you would like to recommend to us?
2. Do you have an unpopular opinion? If not, is there an unpopular opinion you heard that you would never be convinced to agree on?
3. In our previous episodes, we learned that you enjoy playing various video games. If you were to become a video game developer, what kind of game would you create? Let’s assume you have an unlimited budget and anything can be made possible!
4. You’ve been given $1000 to spend on anything you want, and you have to use it (no saving!) then what would you purchase? And why?
5. If you had to describe yourself in only three words, what would they be? Why? What words do you think your friends would choose to describe you?
6. In some of our episodes, we try to give meaningful and inspiring take home messages to our listeners. What’s the best advice you ever received and/or given?
Curious to know Anna's answers? Then check this episode out!

Ep. 36 Solo Session with Esther Part II
Hey friends! Welcome back to another episode!
On this episode, Esther is going solo again! Just like Ep. 25, Esther will be answering six questions created by Anna.
Here are the questions she will be answering:
1. What are three of your “frequently used” emojis? In what contexts or situations do you typically use them in?
2. Imagine you have a totally free day with no obligations, responsibilities, or events scheduled. What would you do with that time?
3. Was there a time where you tried something that you didn’t think you would like, and then was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t as terrible as you imagined it to be?
4. Is there a behavior, habit, gesture, or saying that you realized you suddenly started doing? Where did that action originate from/why did you do it? Alternatively, is there a behavior, habit, gesture, or saying you used to use, but then you stopped? Why did that happen?
5. 1. In several of our previous episodes, you have expressed your enthusiasm for amusement parks. If you had all the funding you wanted and a team of designers and engineers at your disposal, how would you design your dream amusement park? What would it be like, and what would set it apart from other amusement parks?
6. In episode 17, Friendship Never Goes out of Style: Our Fashion Evolution, we discussed our individual styles and how they have evolved over time. Are there any fashion trends or styles that you’d like to try incorporating into your summer wardrobe? What about the style is appealing to you that makes you want to try it?
