Karen Robinovitz and Sara Schiller had each been through multiple traumas when they found reinvention and joy through the unlikeliest of substances: slime. Yes, slime. They explain to hosts Diana Ransom and Christine LagorioChafkin how they channeled their newfound joy, and passion for sensory play, into a business, the Sloomoo Institute. Sloomoo is a growing slimemuseum business with four locations that makes some 600 gallons of slime each day. This episode was recorded live onsite in SoHo, New York, at the Sloomoo Institute
