Parents Are Human co-founder Joseph Lam shares the remarkable journey of creating a card game that's transforming family relationships across cultures and languages. What started as a personal solution to connect with immigrant parents has evolved into a global tool for deeper conversations in 15+ languages. Through raw and vulnerable discussions about family estrangement, healing, and reconciliation, Joseph reveals how neutral conversations can build the foundation for harder ones. The conversation takes unexpected turns into entrepreneurship, museum archival techniques, and authentic sales approaches, before culminating in a live demonstration of the game between the hosts and Joseph. At its heart, this episode explores how simple questions can bridge the gaps in our most complex relationships, reminding us that everyone - parents included - is fundamentally human. A powerful conversation about family, forgiveness, and the courage to create new patterns of connection.
