There is no doubt that we see a lack of Asian representation in mainstream media. Join Kevin in this episode as he talks about his favorite Netflix reality TV show: Bling Empire! He discusses how the film industry is a business and it's all about making profit - movie producers propose their pitches to wealthy investors for the primary purpose of funding (because producing a movie or TV show is expensive). However, top hits such as Crazy Rich Asians and Bling Empire have pushed us in the right direction in terms of Asian representation in Hollywood. Have any comments or questions?

The Asian American identity is associated with many different stereotypes and lived experiences that we face on the daily. From pursuing a young Asian professional (YAPPIE) career for stability to being referred to as the "model minority", our racial identity has a massive influence on what the idea of "success" means to us. Join us in this week's episode featuring one of my best friends: Celene! We narrate our own experiences growing up in an Asian household, talk about some of our favorite Asian influencers & celebrities in media, and ultimately share our cultural tendency to do subtle Asian things.

We all grow up thinking that our intelligence is measured by the grades that we get in school. However, what we don't realize is that human intelligence levels can widely vary within different intelligence modalities, and is not something evaluated solely on a single general ability. Join Kevin in this episode as he talks about the multiple intelligences, some of which include linguistic intelligence, spatial intelligence, and interpersonal intelligence!
