    With Julia Bialetska, CEO of S.Lab


    Tiny Little Victory: Creating sustainable innovation in the shadow of war

    When war broke out in Ukraine, Julia Bialetska didn’t pause—she pivoted. As co-founder and CEO of S.Lab, a startup turning hemp and mycelium into biodegradable packaging, Julia faced the unthinkable: relocating her company, her team, and her life from Kyiv to Spain.

    In this conversation, she shares how she kept her vision alive through crisis. From messy early experiments to major media breakthroughs, Julia opens up about what it means to build a sustainable business under pressure—and why visibility, recognition, and community matter more than ever.

    We talk about:

    • Turning natural materials into next-gen packaging

    • What it’s really like to move a startup during wartime

    • How women in tech are shaping a more sustainable future

    • Why Ukrainian entrepreneurs are key to rebuilding a better post-war economy

    It’s a story of persistence, purpose, and planting seeds in hard soil.

Mike also talks about his creative process (he's only had one creative block in his decades-long career) and how, sometimes, spontaneous things and conversations can inspire songwriting and creativity.Mike and Jennifer hit the nostalgia super highway with memories of live music experiences in small venues and the magic of the Athens, Georgia, sound. Community engagement through music is essential for Mike because it fosters deep connections in the community and creates a supportive environment for everyone. He says live shows give them the opportunity to connect with fans and promote local culture. And he confesses to being happily surprised by the emergence of a new generation of musicians inspired by their work. Mike inspires us all to stay true to ourselves in the face of whatever life throws our way. Music for the win!You can see Five Eight live at these upcoming shows in April, May and June.
