In this episode, hosts Gavin Lynch and Juan Pablo Pina sit down with Roberto, a high school student who created Maybelline Access — a program that brings 3D-printed assistive technology to people with paralysis. Roberto shares how his brother's developmental disabilities motivated him to adapt college-level projects for the local community, collaborate with research centers, and improve daily life for patients with fine motor challenges.

The conversation explores Roberto's journey from personal motivation to community impact, highlighting projects, competitions, and the importance of inclusive engineering and patient interaction.

In this episode, hosts Juan Pablo Piña (JP) and Gavin Lynch dive into the art of creative world-building, exploring how historical warfare and prehistoric giants can merge into epic fantasy—from medieval kings riding Spinosaurus mounts to T-Rex battle armor. Later in the show, JP and Gavin welcome freshman artist Jeremy Figueroa ("J Fig") for a candid conversation about finding your creative voice on campus. Jeremy shares insights into his multi-disciplinary work across theater, singing, drawing, and stop-motion dinosaur origami. He breaks down why prehistoric animals serve as a personal mirror for self-expression, discusses the terrifying reality of the updated Dilophosaurus, and credits the mentors who taught him patience in his craft. Wrapping up with a look at the power of local podcasting, this episode offers an encouraging push for any young creator hesitant to share their work with the world.
