  • Episode 18 - Fighting For What You Love (feat. Paul Kim)

    When we think of Marriage, we think of the happy ending or the start of a new journey in a couples' life, but what some people don't know is that sometimes, it isn't as idealized as we perceive it to be. To what extent will we fight for what or who we love? Will we put down everything on the line in order to get what we desire? Paul explains the odds that were stacked against him as he fought for the love of his life. It wasn't a fight to keep his marriage, but a fight to finally get to marry the love of his life.  You can connect with Paul Kim and his brand through Instagram and Facebook @_p.kim and @operationdichotomy and with at @FromtheHeart.Studios on Instagram.

  • Episode 16 - Change Starts with you (feat. Darren Tun)

    Society has created a lot of norms of things that simply were not "meant to be". People will cast doubts upon us for having ideas that seem revolutionary because the idea seems unfathomable to them.  So, how do we change this mindset? It all starts with us... with you. As cliche as it sounds, for your dreams to come true, you must work to make it a reality. No one will feed your dreams on a silver platter and to be quite frank, it will most likely never look pleasing in any way. However, this is what comes with envisioning a change, a revolution, within our communities and ultimately the world. Be the change you'd like to see and then the world will follow.

  • Episode 15 - We Are More Than What People Perceive Us (feat. Melissa Shrestha)

    At one point or another, many of us were given a label that was used to define us by other people. These notions were created based on our various attributes such as our appearances, actions, speeches, thinking, etc. and it has created more harm than good the majority of the time.  So how can we combat this issue of prejudice placed on everyday people like us? By being aware that every person has a story that has shaped and molded that person is today.

    Melissa Shrestha shares her experience growing up with a mixed ethnic background. The struggles that she faced were countless and thus made it difficult to truly discover who she was an individual back then. Today, she advocates people expressing their different personalities, backgrounds, ethnicities, and cultures through many groups that she organizes.

  • Episode 13 - How do we become more empathetic?
    Many people struggle to understand how to truly empathize with another person.  It’s in our innate nature to give a solution to someone's issue(s). Sometimes, we can have the best words of advice to help one another. Other times, we encounter situations in which we won't have a clue as to what to say. BUT in those moments, it's okay to just sit in silence and to listen to someone as they go through a rough patch in m his/her life. When someone just wants someone to just listen, that in itself can be the best solution you can offer to someone... to empathize with them.

  • Episode 12 - What does it mean to pursue a goal?
    Having the idea to improve or setting a goal is the first step. But in a day in today’s society, it’s easy to lose ourselves with the idea of instant gratification and having things in the snap of our fingers. While that may be true, there are many aspects that make this realistically unattainable in an instant with our goals. Even with a few months, that may still may not be enough to fully let our ambitions manifest into the results we perceive. So are you able to tell yourself to fight the war and not just the battle? Will your grit and perseverance be enough to serve you in the long run?

    Zeki Kural gives us a glimpse of his accomplishments that has helped him to not only feel more confident in his capabilities but also to seek greater fulfillment in other goals. More specifically, he talks about his experience with running a Spartan Race, a race that tests one's ability to run a certain distance while overcoming obstacles. With only a weeks advanced reminder to prepare, he knew that running the race would be exhausting, but regardless he made a commitment. This promise wasn't only to those who accompanied him, but especially to himself. In the grand scheme of things, taking action to complete a goal regardless of failure is more important than not attempting to at the very least try.
