Award winning bartender, GQ cover model, and jacked Asian father.

This burly boy won most imaginative bartender in America and you'd know why if you ever stopped by any of his restaurants. Super fun, creative, and of course delicious.

On this episode we talk about Ran's numerous business in and outside of the Hospitality industry. His story and how he got into the game. How he pushed his craft as hard as he could to get to where he is.

He gives advice to young men on how to level up their lives by attacking it from multiple angles.

Then we spend a lot of time talking about women. How Asian men have always been looked down upon as dating partners in American society until now, and how that's changed the way he's approaching the dating market as a newly single man.

Ron and Jess: Co-founders, co-habitors, lovers, Asians. On today's episode we talk about risk. Risking it all by quitting your corporate jobs to open restaurants with your lover. Risking your lover by going into business with them. And how they beat all the odds and came out of it successful and married.

We also talk about how being Asian growing up in many Northeast suburban towns can take a huge toll on one's mental health, and how finding culture and community helped Ron find his identity.

We talk about why he couldn't continue working a 9-5 and decided to pursue entrepreneurship despite the grueling hours. Insightfully, he notes that while business ownership is immensely stressful, his mental health was way worse when working a "stable" career.

In his typical deadpan, but undeniably funny style, he also breaks down dating as an Asian in Boston, his dreams of finding a sugar mama, and Latinas.

Enjoy!
