Let's call this the end of year bonus special because in this episode, I talk to my first ever boyfriend from ‘high school’. Dr Andrew Chin is a shark scientist, who runs a fisheries lab at James Cook University.  He has worked at the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority  and  his research has focused on coastal ecology and fisheries, particularly sharks and rays. But we discuss NONE of this (which would have undoubtedly been fascinating) because we decide to get into the REAL stuff like teenage torment, his evolving relationship with religion, being jealous of Bono from U2 (!), his thoughts on modern masculinity and grappling with his mixed race heritage. I almost chickened out from sharing this recording because it felt intensely personal. But our conversation also  felt like unfolding an old letter tucked away in the corner of my attic and discovering that it still sparkled. So  in the end, it felt like a conversation worth sharing.  An exercise in bravery, vulnerability and a big dose of crazy.  Enjoy!  Learn more at https://www.crewandriot.com/ Follow me on https://www.linkedin.com/in/chin-ru-foo-crewandriot/
