She grew up between Crete and New Jersey, staying in 3 months of the summer at a farm in Crete. With encouragement from her dad, she followed a practical path - teaching - but her passion for music was always front of mind. Even as a full-time teacher, she would spend her nights in New York City, working on her passion. When she was laid off, she saw the opportunity to jump into music - and, ultimately, blend both of her homes through her music.
At first, she didn’t...2022-10-2438 minNow What?#9 Stratis Morfogen on Disrupting, Entrepreneurship, and the Thrills of FailureStratis Morfogen is, at his core, an independent thinker. And he has always been this way - he tells stories about working at his father’s restaurant in his teens, and how this has pushed him to think outside the box, as well as how to deconstruct and rebuild something. Stratis has experienced plenty of thrills as an entrepreneur, and plenty of failures, but it has led him to his core belief: “there is no way to success except through failure.”
In our latest episode of Now What?, host Artemis Kohas of the Kohas Agency talks to him ab...2022-07-2640 min
Now What?#8 Christopher André Marks: Filmmaking and life as a digital nomadChristopher André Marks originally thought he would be a professional athlete - but when a career-ending injury made him reconsider his trajectory, he actually had the chance to pick a path that he had always kind of wanted. Now, he has made a film about the Greek National Football Team’s victory in 2004 over one of the giants of world football to become the unlikeliest of European Champions.
And it was a learning experience for him in so many ways: besides becoming a digital nomad across Europe, he also managed to navigate releases during Covid shutdowns. So wha...2022-04-1846 min

After the death of his father right before his high school graduation, the trajectory of his life changed completely, but he's always looking forward.
