Dirty By 30

A podcast about the confusing life up to 30, and beyond. We are your hosts, Candice and Jake.

Put that smile on because we’re on Episode 14! A big part of adulting is learning to take care of yourself -- and that includes dental work too! In this two part episode, Episode 1 will focus on horror stories from the dentist, such as Candice running away from her dentist as a young child, Jake being awake during wisdom teeth extraction, dealing with IV needles when doctors can't find your veins, and a brief overview of HMO vs PPO plans.
Stay tuned for part two, where we talk about braces (and adult orthodontia), compare traditional braces vs Invisalign, discuss how insurance sets you up for failure, and Candice tries to talk without a lisp.

Welcome to Episode 2 of Season 2!
You’ve probably heard of the 4 standard career paths that most Asians shoot for? It is usually along the lines of Science & Engineering, Medicine, Business, or Law. We fit into that mold pretty well -- Candice is currently an Engineer in a tech start-up, whereas Jake is in a lab for a science startup. (Because Bay area and all their startups, am I right?) But did we always aspire to get into these stereotypical “Asian” careers? Did our parent’s expectations shape our career paths? Do we even like our current career path? Let’s find out!

Welcome to Episode 17! As we close off our first season of Dirty by 30, we wanted to reflect on some of past episodes and our feelings of the past year. 2020 was a tough one as everyone knows, with COVID-19, BLM protests, the division of our native country...but lets not forget the positive things that can also happen in life. One of them was biting the bullet and starting this podcast with each other. So guys, join us as we close off 2020, reminiscing the good and the bad, and head towards 2021!
