The recruiting industry is suffering an upheaval with AI , rising total compensation and choices for technical talent, and sourcers feeling inundated with having to filter through a flood of job applicants applying for open job recs. I talk with Technical Recruiter, Henry Ngo, on why company narrative via active sourcing is the best way for top talent to join startup companies, how AI is transforming candidate personas and recruiting workflows, and what differentiates an average recruiter from a great one. On a personal note, we explore his time in the US Army and his experience transitioning to civilian life.
I learned a lot about the behind the scenes of the recruiting function and in all honesty, possess many of the same principles in brand and performance henry

I chat with my friend Christian Rodriguez about DEI in Contemporary dance and music and the Filipino American experience including Jo Koy's Easter Sunday, and his take on the term "Filipinx". It's an in-depth discussion on language, cultural understanding and appreciation, and how knowing the historical context of media can provide a more nuanced understanding and respect for dance and music art forms.

I interviewed my good friend Christine Lu Luu aka Tiny Namaste Pottery. We talk about how she found her calling in pottery and discuss the Asian American experience as a self-made woman in the arts and social work. We briefly begin the pod by talking about her travel experiences and how it’s changed from her 20s to 30s. She’s created a pottery business that has garnered fans from across the globe and discusses how her relationship with pottery evolved from a discouraging high school class elective into a therapeutic and artistic, lifelong career.

Andy Wong and I had never met in real life until recently, and we discuss what it's like as an Asian-Canadian comedian, martial arts, and how it's helped improve his communication skills outside of comedy. He provides advice for up and coming comedians, the ingredients you need for an entertaining joke, and the mindset needed to endure the grind as a comedian.
Caleb and I chat about the creative writing process, how he refined his copywriting craft, and the notable comics he's been involved in.
Disclaimer: Apologies for the late delay in publishing this video. Life got in the way and I'm starting to get back on track with editing. This was recorded late April 2022. I interviewed @FlexwithDoctorJay who defines his brand of physical therapy, why it's important, and how his team empowers people to live pain-free lives. We talk about building accountability systems, the role of a physical therapist in overall wellness, and the trials and tribulations of starting his own physical therapy practice.

I interview my ex-college roommate Daniel Mah, a man who I said was going to change the martial arts world before he believed it, Former college roommate, filmmaker, actor, fight choreographer, martial artist who is one of the masterminds behind the YouTube channel, Martial Club and recently contributed to the new movie Everything, Everywhere All At Once. We cover all things martial arts in the US; it's history, the evolution of tricking, and how Martial Club is changing the way we'll watch action films in the future.

In this inaugural episode to kick off the podcast, I chat with Dannie Phan on all things house renovation, gardening, and photography tips. Having run her own wedding photography business, practically demolished her house and yard and building it up from scratch with all the fruits and veggies you can imagine, she seeks to build a community garden and DIY the renovations to her house (where applicable). We also talk about how her Vietnamese-American upbringing in Southern California shaped her attitude and disposition towards her hustle and DIY mentality.
