Intervene in somebody else’s relationship? Janet and Brian share their ideas about when it could be appropriate or inappropriate to get involved. Though, it’s rarely as simple as that. In this situation, you’re going to be hearing about two people that are coworkers where one of them is in a toxic relationship. The other wants to help, but doesn’t know whether or not if it’s appropriate to do so.

Is it your responsibility to help somebody if you are aware of how bad a situation is and they don’t? Shouldn’t you get involved if somebody needs help? Listen in to hear the discussion!

vs Teaching Janet About Racism

Racism is, without a question, a major issue in the United States, but what if you come from a homogenous country where it’s not given the same attention? We now live in a globally connected world. We can learn from each other at a scale that is unprecedented compared to previous generations. The speed of how we all adapt to rapidly changing ideologies and global awareness/awakening will determine how we all decide to proceed into the future.

This is a long-awaited episode where Janet and Brian talk about issues in regards to race and racism in the US. This is obviously a charged conversation and one that is intimate to their discussion within their understandings of what it all means, but they, at the risk of controversy, share their experience, knowledge, and ideas around the topic. Tune into this week’s episode as Janet opens up from the perspective of a modern-day immigrant raised in South Korea and Brian as an American-born Korean share (probably overshare) some insights as they understand them to be today.

Sometimes one person’s perspective of being succinct could look like being way too direct. Other times, speaking in an indirect way can be translated as passive-aggressive.
