EPISODE 71: A one-on-one pod with Mike and Chris! I prepare for a road trip that ends on a mountain and Chris tells me about tending bar during the re-opening and how to Marie Kondo my luggage. We chat sleep deprivation, meditation, DJ Khaled, and, to end the pod on a serious note, get into a real discussion about COVID-19 and mask usage. Enjoy the episode!

EPISODE 69: Even after landing Kurimu’s ice cream at renowned market Foxtrot, Ming has always kept it super low key. But delicious, creative ice cream is really only a small part of Ming’s life story so far. A formal degree in Industrial Design was more a sheet of paper than a career pursuit—long before soft serve, he started Fizz Automotive here in Chicago during his last semester in college. It’s another reminder than your true passions often find ways to shine through the cloths you put over them.

We chat new ice cream flavors, National Olive Day, Hot Import Nights, Ming’s car collection, and Chris freaks out over White Rabbit. Enjoy the episode!

EPISODE 68: We are OVERWHELMED by how many people came to visit our activation during last week's event in Argyle—it brought us so much joy to collect the voices of the community and, with the help of Gratitude Blooming, inspire introspection, vulnerability, and positivity amidst a dark world. As this is easily our longest pod, we encourage our listeners to take breaks, bookmark, and conduct reflections of your own. To facilitate your exploration, you can use your ⏪ and ⏩ to jump through each of the 40+ recordings and Chris and I's ruminations.

From the entirety of our hearts, thank you for your enthusiasm for our on-going mission. Special thanks to Hai Bayo for thinking of us for the event, our amazing volunteers who made the success of our activation possible, and Gratitude Blooming for a unique and fruitful partnership.

EPISODE 66: Chris and I are back for a special pod to reflect on George Floyd and celebrate AAPI Heritage Month. This Saturday, May 29th we will be joining forces with Gratitude Blooming to get the local community voices on the pod. Our installation is designed to foster authentic connection, introspection, bravery, and positive mental health amidst the challenges of today. It's time to think big and celebrate possibilities.

Big thanks to Haibayô and Qideas for the invite. We’ll be posted up at UNI UNI Boba from 12-9, so make sure you say hello and enjoy what we, as a powerful, positive community, have assembled.

EPISODE 65: It’s a strange thing for someone who’s worked for Ford, Tesla, and Rivian to tell you they’re unqualified to be on a pod. But that’s exactly what Eugene Kim said to me when I asked him to share his story. Truth be told, his biggest transition hasn’t been anything career related—it’s been a transition of mindset. And that journey can be much more powerful than any resume stat can boast.

We chat about unemployment during the pandemic, going away parties, double spaces, burnout culture, finding happiness, and what it was really like working for the Musk himself. Enjoy the episode!

EPISODE 64: There’s a lot that we process as kids that can end up affecting us during the decades that follow. Christina’s inquisitive nature, despite becoming a stranger amongst peers and circumventing countless trials by fire, have instilled growth and an irreplaceable discipline that’s powered her career toward clinical psychology. We discuss foregoing social media entirely to seek internal validation, how trauma can manifest itself as physical pain, and the “tyranny of the shoulds”.

In other news, Chris gets into his editing feels, I check to see how my personality lines up with my Chinese zodiac, and Christina gives us insight to her secret alter ego. Enjoy the episode!

We hit the Mos Eisley cantina for adult beverages and chat about life since his first pod, the Star Wars franchise, Fall Guys, National Bird Day, earnest two-way communication amongst family and friends, and the importance of finding your own space to reset your mental health. We explore why we are all still friends after twenty years, DDR, and discuss which Star Wars vehicle we'd daily drive. Enjoy the episode!

It might not be obvious, but racing often mirrors life. There is constant focus on and virtue paid towards the end: the finish line. But if you ask any driver, there’s nothing more important than the start—you’ll never finish anything you don’t begin. There is no time like the present. ⏰ 🏁

EPISODE 61: Just like I said a few episodes ago, there isn’t a rule book to life - what you need, what you achieve, and what you deem as your limit, is all up to you. Phil Lee has been a dreamer all his life and this freedom of mind has allow him to dip his hands into several avenues - photography, opening a nail salon, a restaurant, and even starting a renowned drift org called ClubFR that has introduced so many people to the sport for the last 18 years.

We chat about growing up as a latch key kid, the WHOOP, the Power Glove, kicking it old school, and our responsibility to mentor the next generation. Enjoy the episode!
