As a first generation college graduate, Rudy (@RudyRises) looked forward to commencement. When colleges canceled in-person ceremonies, Rudy tried to remain positive and understood the rationale but had difficulty navigating this reality. More about his story in Ep 5: What Now?

The dramatic rise of COVID-19 forced unprecedented cancellations, furloughs, and hospitalizations. As we readjusted to the crisis, we were forced to reckon with the inevitable questions — how should we cope with the situation, and what comes next? https://t.co/BTdeX4VCCS

Essential workers are branded as heroes, but how are their companies failing them? For Jordan, Amazon failed to provide their warehouse workers with proper PPE and refused to clean the facilities even though several workers tested positive. Listen to ep 4: https://t.co/9sk2puFWU9

Lots of people are feeling unproductive. But if you successfully infect zero people with the virus, seriously you’ve been extremely productive.
