Fun fact: the “It’s Corn!” meme wouldn’t exist without the iconic Julian Shapiro-Barnum (CFA’21), the co-founder of the viral sensation we all know as Recess Therapy (@recesstherapy). 🌽🤣

We interviewed the @BUarts alumnus about his journey from Boston University to building a platform (stemming from his senior thesis) that makes mental health conversations more accessible, relatable, and, yes, actually funny.

It was great chatting with you, Julian! Thanks for helping us smile every day. 😄
