Brainchild (Patricia Koo)

A place where potentials are unlocked in life and in our careers,
because anybody can create their own brainchild.

Johnny Livanos is the founder of Stray Dog Wild Gin, a gin company that focuses on a unique blend of wild botanicals native to Greece’s hills and mountains, which are then mixed with Mediterranean citrus and pure spring water. He is also a 3rd generation Greek-American restaurateur, who is part of a proud New York family that owns and runs several acclaimed venues in Manhattan and Westchester NY, including Oceana, Molyvos, Ousia, Moderne Barn and City Limits. We talk about how his idea for the company came about in his own ah-ha moment, how he came up with the name "Stray Dog Wild Gin," being on ABC's TV Series "Family Food Fight", and his younger days as a university student at Cornell University and Culinary Institute of America. This episode will give you in-depth and comprehensive introduction to the world of gin and greek spirits.

Why are languages so important? They help us express and speak up for ourselves using our own tongue. They help us connect and deeply bond with our friends, family, and lovers. They enrich the world we see and experience. In this episode, my friends Jane, Andrew, and I share our experiences of growing up as a polyglot/bilingual in a multicultural environment.

Finding your lobster, the love of your life, can be one of the most important things in life. In this episode, my great friends, Andrew Kim, Jane Lee, and I talk about finding a life partner in college, growing the relationship in your 20s, and transitioning into adulthood after college.

This one goes out to my fellow graduating seniors.

In this episode, we talk about building an online presence and how Katie Tracy, a YouTube creator with 200k subscribers, used her social platforms to provide educational resources and support for high school students all over the world. Katie was also the co-host of the Secret Syllabus Podcast, produced by iheartradio, The Female Quotient, and Wonder Media, on being a college student during the pandemic. Her most recent Brainchild is her nonprofit, IBlieve, which is a global educational community that provides IB resources for high school students. We then dive into certain friendships and business partnerships she formed with other like-minded students and content creators who also shared the same vision as her. Having already achieved so much as an Information Science major at Cornell, Katie is an inspiration to many young creators.

I sat down with Eero Vasa, a Finnish tennis player.

I share how my love for storytelling lead to the start of Brainchild Podcast.

In the first episode of Brainchild Podcast, I converse with my friend Samay Bansal, who is the founder of Million Meals Mission, a global nonprofit that alleviates global food insecurity. He talks through how his love for food brought him to work as a hotel chef, manage a large team in his nonprofit organization, and how that eventually lead him to land a consulting job at Mckinsey & Company. While being a top student at Cornell University, Samay is larger than life and works toward driving impact every single day in his greater community.
