  • Hacking Human Behavior with Consumer Neuroscientist, Dr. Manuel Garcia-Garcia

    Julie Says...

    This week on $6.99, we go deep with consumer neuroscientist, Dr. Manuel Garcia-Garcia. Born in Spain, Dr. Garcia-Garcia is a global thought leader in the industry and currently the Global Lead of Neuroscience at IPSOS. In this conversation, he breaks down exactly what consumer neuroscience means, how his research is used in the corporate world and where the industry is headed. In addition to his work with IPSOS, Dr. Garcia-Garcia developed and delivers a curriculum for an MBA course at NYU Stern School of Business, including authoring the first textbook on consumer neuroscience research. Aside from being super smart, Dr. Garcia-Garcia is a world traveler, tri-athlete and all around inspiration.

  • Serving Good Asian Jokes with Comedians Fumi Abe and Mic Nguyen, Hosts of Asian, Not Asian

    Jojo says, "Today we have a very special cross-over episode, with another fellow Asian American run podcast, aptly named Asian NOT Asian Pod. Hosts Fumi and Mic are both accomplished stand-up comedians, so we decided to get their hot takes on this week’s topic: The Ken Jeong’s Netflix Comedy Special. Our good friend and inaugural guest of our podcast, Donnie Kwak who runs the East Coast arm of The Ringer, recently penned an article about the doctor-turned-comedian’s performance, which stirred divisive conversations on the internet. Should Ken Jeong retire the predictable small dick jokes and exaggerated accents that play into negative Asian stereotypes? Is he the last one laughing as he remains one of the most bankable Asian American stars of his time? Find out what we had to say, and stay tuned till the end for some drama :3 Meow!"

    Check out Donnie’s article: https://bit.ly/2UxTDoI

    And follow @AsianNotAsianPod!

     "Asian, Not Asian" is a weekly comedy podcast with hosts Fumi Abe (MTV, Vulture) and Michael Nguyen (Someecards, NBC News). Our elevator pitch is this: Two Asian guys not from Asia talking about American issues no Americans care about.

  • Creating Your Own Blueprint | A Conversation with Polymath Hustlers Sahra Nguyen & Ryan Biazon
    Jojo says:
    All of us are familiar with the trope, “Jack of all trades, master of none.” Growing up, I hated being a generalist. I was pretty good at most things but not the best at ONE thing. However, when I moved to NYC and entered my mid-twenties, I noticed most people I met were “slashers.” Take Jaeki, who is a documentarian SLASH sneaker boutique co-owner SLASH wedding MC SLASH podcast host!
    On this episode, we interview polymath hustlers Sahra Nguyen, an award-winning filmmaker/director/writer/entrepreneur (she runs Lucy’s Vietnamese Kitchen as well as the Nguyen Coffee Supply to boot!), and Ryan Biazon, creative producer/real estate developer/DJ (he also runs the Chinatown hotspot Canal Street Market)! Considering all of us on the pod are multi-taskers of different levels, we explore how we got started, the roadblocks, and how we ultimately charted our own paths to success.
    This episode was also our first collaboration with CSM’s Portal (@canalstreetmarket) and the Listening Party (@listeningpartypresents). Show them some love! And don’t forget to rate, follow & subscribe to @699perpound.
