Each week, Lerit and Tobi sit down to chat and learn more about each other’s careers.


She’s a fashion stylist and he's a writer. They know nothing about what the other person does — that’s not entirely true, she knows more about writing than he knows about fashion.


Every other week, a new guest joins them to share their own career journey and experience. How does that sound?
