MEET THE TEAM

SHAY

Heyo, it's your host Sharayu, but you can call me Shay!

I’m originally from Pune, India and moved to Houston, Texas when I was 10 years old. While I traveled between India and the US quite often, I’ve traveled to a total of 14 counties in between and hope the number continues to grow as I want to experience my life as a citizen of the world. As I’ve come across various walks of life, I’m most curious to understand how people's experiences and environment aligns with their opinions of each other and the world they live in. We’ve all got a story, but how does our story translate into our perception? Join me on the Sochu Podcast to ask questions, share your story or simply reflect on where we’ve been and where we're going.

Hi y’all, I’m Bri!!

I was born & raised in Austin, Texas, and as such I love live music, the water, and any excuse to escape to colder weather. When I’m not working, you’ll find me meeting the girls for drinks, at a game, or embarking on the most recent getaway we’ve planned! I like to think of myself as an anti-gatekeeper, where when I find something that I love, all I want to do is share it with everyone. That is why this project is so special to me - when I hear stories I think are special, I want to give others the chance to be moved by them, too. My favorite places on the planet are the Balkans and Steamboat Springs, and I’ve always dreamed of hiking in Patagonia and diving to clean reefs in the South Pacific. I love re-remembering how special our Earth is! If ever you need a niche Spotify playlist or a new recipe, I’m your girl.
