Starting From Zero

Hey everyone,

I met my friend Richard during the first week I moved down to Seattle in 2020 and since then have been very good friends. He's probably going to be the only Asian I will ever meet who grew up in New Mexico LOL. The past 2.5 years hanging with him has been a blast - he always reaches out to host weekly events and we have a lot of good memories going on trips together. I've heard glimpses of his upbringing before but really appreciate him coming on the pod to share more about his upbringing and how he's overcome some life events to get to where he is today.

Hi Everyone!

This is the 2nd part to the last episode where I reflect on my post high school memories and all events since then that has led me to where I am today!

Hi friends, this episode was something I've wanted to do for awhile and definitely the longest to put together. This is me sharing memories and stories from my upbringing - up to my high school days. It was hard to capture all the friends and experiences that I've been through so apologies if I didn't mention you or some of the memories we've shared together. Hope y'all enjoy the story and looking forward to having more experience with everyone in the future!

In this episode, I had a chance to catch up with a close friend Vivian and learned about her path in UX design and ultimately a career as a production designer working at an agency helping fortune 500 companies in the digital and creative space. Definitely learned a lot through this conversation and discussed how practical and applicable UX can impact our daily lives!

Meet Alex Lim! First time we hung out I got banned from my university pub LOL! He's someone I look up to and respect a lot and have influenced me quite a bit over the past few years whether is contemplating solo-traveling or just being more productive / active in my day-to-day. Had a lot of fun adventures together and definitely looking forward to making more memories in the future.

Hey everyone! Had a pleasure to sit down with one of my closest friends Dan Ryan to talk about his career path on how he managed to break into the gaming industry. We grew up playing games together and he has always wanted to be apart of the gaming world for as long as I've known him, watching him build off his artistic and creative mindset has been inspirational and hoping that people are able to learn more about this space while demystifying stereotypes of working in this industry!

Meet Carolyn! Met her about 1.5 years ago in Seattle through a mutual friend and since then we have hung out quite a bit and have shared some good memories since then. She's one of my good friends that is 'surprisingly' not imported from Canada. Classic Bay Area Boba Cali Girl who moved to Seattle for work.

Hey everyone, super excited to have one of my closest friends I met 9 years ago during the first weeks of university come on the podcast. It's been a wild ride thinking back to all the memories shared together and my university experience would not be the same without him. Crazy that even after university we ended up working in the same city and have been on some adventures together,

One of the highlights of 2021! My friends and I went to Hawaii for a month in 2021 living and working together in the same house. Join Jack, Billy, David, Rui, and Leslie in this podcast with me to reflect on all the inside jokes, crazy adventures, and memories we all shared from that trip!

Happy New Year! I'm back this year launching season 2 of this podcast. In this episode Dan Ryan, Edward, Vivian, and I give a brief recap of major milestones and life events that happened to us in 2021 and our current upcoming plans for the new year =).
