#Episode 1 - Milan Ball (USA)
The first podcast episode is finally out! Listen now 🎧
The MIC travelled to Virginia in the US to talk with Milan Ball.
She founded her own platform PHILAN, to help consumers track their own impact à nd works as a content marketing strategist for a company in tech.
With a background in the fashion industry, she's still getting used to the concept of being a woman in tech.
She builds her day around her work schedule. By working with international partners, she doesn't live by fixed daily schedules and routines.
"There are days where I have meetings with clients around midnight, other days I need to be up early, and sometimes it's too early to get into a coffee shop."

So when it's about routines and organisation for work, that varies from one day to another.
But there is one thing she tends to do daily...
"I like to do some sort of workout routine to just take me from one type of work to another. If I'm working on one project in the morning and I know I'm working on something else in the afternoon, to make the switch, I'll just throw in some aerobics or yoga."
Milan's tip to keep the grip on life:
"Make time for things like lunch and breakfast, even if that means you'd be a few minutes late for work."
Listen now to discover how she balances a work schedule with zero routines with family, friends and free time. Happy listening!

TALKING SIZES
Having difficulty choosing between the Pyramid and the slightly smaller-sized Midi Pyramid?
This blog page highlights all the differences.
Find the size that is right for you.
You are looking for a work bag? Good!
Both sizes are built for work life, with dedicated compartments for your laptop and all other office essentials so you will never forget your valuables again. Commute or travel in peace thanks to the zipper closure that keeps your belongings safe and secure.
The key question: how big is your laptop?
The Pyramid fits laptops up to 15.6 inches (diagonal screen size) with a maximum horizontal width of 14.1 inches, while the Midi Pyramid fits laptops up to 13.5 inches (diagonal screen size) with a maximum horizontal width of 12.8 inches.
Because screen borders vary by brand, we recommend measuring your laptop's physical width rather than going by screen size alone.
Compare
Pyramid vs Midi Pyramid
| Pyramid | Midi Pyramid | |
|---|---|---|
| Max. Width Laptop compartment | 14.1" | 12.8" |
| Inner pockets | 5 | 2 |
| Pen / lipgloss pockets | 2 | 2 |
| Bottle & umbrella holder | ✓ | ✓ |

How to measure your laptop?

Choose the Midi Pyramid if you carry a laptop with a width up to 12.8 inch and the everyday essentials — phone, wallet, chargers, and the occasional A4 notepad or folder. Everything fits, without the extra weight.
Choose the Pyramid if you work on a wider laptop or regularly carry multiple files and folders.
One thing to keep in mind: a bigger bag tends to get heavier, because more space means more things. Women under 5'4" in the #KAAICOMMUNITY often prefer the Midi Pyramid for exactly that reason: a KAAI bag should make your day easier, not heavier.
