We All Look Alike

Bonus Episode 1 — Questions from the Community


Listen Later

A spicy grab-bag from the We All Look Alike community. Joyce and Han talk about finding your people, what makes Portland special for small businesses, biggest wins (including mom’s approval), what they hope guests take away from their spaces, the emotional labor of “education,” what a good AAPI Month event needs, post-shift drinks, last-meal fantasies, dim sum vs K-BBQ strategy, pump-up songs, and the truly unhinged: 20 Hans vs one silverback.
