ITP- 111 In this engaging episode, your three hosts revisit a shortened version of how they each got into International Education.
Past episodes have focused on each one of us individually, but if you haven't heard those older episodes (like Episode 2 or 3 for Matt and Greg, respectively) then this is the episode for you.
Did you know Kent has a past as a scientist, a stand-up comedian, and a metal worker? Did you know JP studied German, French, and Spanish all at the same time, or that she was once told "go back and learn to teach in Canada"? Did you know Greg was raised by wolves in Greenland?
All this and more... on this rare New Years Episode.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
