How Do Cultural Values Shape (and Sometimes Sabotage) Success? w/ John Wang
Ever felt like you're living two lives? One shaped by the culture you were born into, and the other by the world you're trying to thrive in?
I sit down with John Wang, speaker, entrepreneur and the creator of Big Asian Energy, to explore the silent tension of bicultural identity, especially for Asian and Asian-American communities.
We discuss:
- The heavy burden of growing up in a traditional household of high expectations
- The unspoken cost of politeness
- The 7 cultural habits holding many Asians back in their careers
- What it takes to redefine success on your own terms
- and some real-life shocking stories of how far some Asian Americans have gone to uphold the expectations of their family and community
If you've ever felt caught between 2 worlds, struggled to speak up or felt like you don't quite belong in the workplace or society you're living in - this convo is going to speak directly to you.
