This week, I got to talk with Liann Zhang about her incredibly voicey and suspenseful thriller Julie Chan is dead.

When Julie discovers Chloe's lifeless body under mysterious circumstances, she seizes the chance to live the life she's always envied.Transforming into Chloe is easier than expected. Julie effortlessly adopts Chloe's luxurious influencer life, complete with designer clothes, a meticulous skincare routine, and millions of adoring followers. However, Julie soon realizes that Chloe's seemingly picture-perfect life was anything but.Haunted by Chloe's untimely death and struggling to fit into the privileged influencer circle, Julie faces mounting challenges during a weeklong island retreat with Chloe's exclusive group of influencer friends.

Imagine you and your business partner build something together, it becomes successful and immensely popular -- inspiring many and impacting lives. Then, one day, you realize it is not brining you the same joy and, in fact, is stressing you out. So, you finally decide to "press pause" because you become a parent and your business partner realized that maybe the business should pause as well. No one seems to be able to understand why you would do this, but you both realize it is the right thing to do. This takes guts, and it is part of the story of Ali Leipzig and Michelle Garside - Cofounders of Soul Camp (a premier adult sleep-away camp for wellness and transformation). They are also founder of Soul Camp Creative, which is devoted to working with conscious companies and brands that are positively impacting the planet. Ali and Michelle share their journey with Julie Chan.
