One fateful night in September 2020 - I received a message from a friend who I haven’t heard from six years - who was bursting with ideas about a potential podcast collaboration. Well, two phone calls later, Jina and I established ‘Is This What You Wanted?’, a project that has continued for a busy 5 months. Now that we’ve reached the end - we decided to look back on our journey that has shifted our outlooks and thoughts towards our profession. What were our highlights? Lowlights? And is this what we wanted?
We’d like to thank the following who has been a part of our journey
Yvonne Meng, Graham Ho, Eugenia Tan, Jessica Seneviratna, Will Qu, Daniel Lawson, Denny Chan, Isabella Singal, Kevin Hüi, Tracy Sodder, Daniel Moore
Most importantly - thank you Jina! What would I do without you?
