It's International Jazz Day, but there's never a time where we can't celebrate this wonderful, soothing music genre.

Legends like Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, John Coltrane and countless others introduced the world to the wonders of jazz, and its only right that we give back through our appreciation of these talented artists. 

Emaad and Audrey discuss the origins of the word "Jazz," how jazz musicians “turn off” a part of their brains during improvisation, their use of non-verbal cues to communicate on stage, and some renowned clubs in Singapore where you can get your jazz fix!

It's time to sober up and think about something serious: we’re going to talk about burnout. If you've experienced it, you know the feeling:an ongoing state of feeling overwhelmed, fatigued, and emotionally drained. 

A study done by Mercer in 2022 suggests that 85% of Singapore employees say they feel at risk of extreme burnout. It’s gotten to the point where at one period after COVID, Mercer reported that 50% of workers said they intended to quit their jobs within a year. 

Audrey, Ryan and Emaad talk about their experiences with burnout, who are most at risk, and what to do to help.
