In this episode I talk with life coach Kimchi Chow, a Vietnamese immigrant who has built a successful life helping others to get past their limiting beliefs and also help others achieve their full potential in life through her coaching.

We talk about the importance of loving yourself, accepting yourself, and being content with who you are instead of always comparing yourself to others and always feeling like you have to perform for someone else.

True fulfillment comes from doing what YOU want to do when you want it without any outside pressure from anyone else to go and do that thing.

Kimchi has found her fulfillment helping people to overcome all the limiting beliefs they have in their mind and has a podcast called Asian Women of Power to help Asian women find their voice again so they can take back their power when they might have given it away.

She is involved in several non-profit boards and is a strong advocate for first and second generation immigrants.

She wants to transform the Asian culture to create equality for women at home and at work.

Hope you are encouraged and blessed from this podcast episode with Kimchi Chow and see you on the next episode.

In this episode I talk with Asian model and travel influencer Leo Chan who is one of the few Asians who has worked with prestigious brands like GQ Magazine, Chopard, Movado, Timberland, Bar III, and Perry Ellis on influencer campaigns. He has also traveled around the world for 5 months on a World Cruise project that took him and his girlfriend on board the Cunard Queen Elizabeth to 27 countries in 5 months!

His passion is to open the door so more Asians can get into the fashion industry and he also has had the fortunate opportunity to work with brands like GQ Magazine, Hugo Boss, Audi and Movado on sponsored campaigns and continues to influence the fashion industry with his brand Levitate Style.

Now he is focusing on building his personal brand and working to continue to work with the top brands as an Asian American influencer. He has been able to build his brand as an Asian influencer on Instagram and you can follow him @levitatestyle on Instagram and checkout his website levitatestyle.com

Also if you're interested in building your personal brand and podcast, send me a DM @ray.ahn and I can share with you a special mastermind that I'm hosting to help people build their personal brand and podcast using the power of social media. 

In this episode, I talk to Jorge Contreras who is a multifamily investor in 1200+ units and teaches people how to rent out Airbnb properties with no experience and money. 

Jorge came from a background of drug dealing, gangs, and has seen his dad pass away from getting involved with the wrong kinds of activities.

He did not want the repeat the same story as his dad so he began to separate himself from the wrong types of people who weren't being a positive influence to him and hung around with people who had a mentality to be better and achieve more with their life.

Not everyone will want to rise up from their circumstances and be an example for others like Jorge was for his younger siblings and those in his community.

But if you want a higher quality of life for yourself, you need to have the mindset to grow, surround yourself with people better and smarter than you, and continue to put in the work everyday to be a better version of yourself.

Checkout the interview to learn the mindset and mentality Jorge had to rise above a circumstances of drug dealing and gangs to owning multiple real estate properties, raising a beautiful family, and contributing back to society.

In this episode, I talk with my friend Edward Woo who founded his clothing company Wooji.us and is an Asian-American clothing brand that takes a lot of their inspiration from anime and Asian culture for their designs.

Edward started his company by putting a couple grand on his credit card to start his clothing company and since then has been able to work with top influencers to represent his clothing brand.

He grew up in an immigrant home family and he always had a desire to start his own company so he can make enough money to provide for his family, create an impact in culture, and make a positive difference in the world.

Edward is in his early 20's and is just beginning his journey of exploring what he can create and produce to make an impact in Asian-American culture and society.

I hope you learn from Edward's story that anybody can make it, all it takes is belief in yourself, the drive to go after what you desire, and to give 100% of your effort into the dreams and desires that God has placed in your heart.

I believe that we are all capable of achieving great things and it just starts by you taking the first step to yourself, your ideas, and taking the leap to follow your dreams.

Hope this interview with Edward encourages and blesses you.

In this episode I talk with my friend Azeem who runs the Instagram page @foundconscious and how he was able to develop a following by posting content about things that not many people are aware about such as the rolling out of 5G, Neuralink, and how certain foods and habits can affect us.

What I learned from my talk with Azeem is that he has had his own fair share of troubles with his own parents having health problems, being introverted during school, and battling with fear and depression.

Azeem talks about how he had to overcome his fear of putting his face out, start speaking out for what he believes in, and to tackle his fears head-on if he were to live a life that is fulfilling, happy, and meaningful.

Azeem and I are both in our 20's and have been proactively creating and designing the life that we want for ourselves, our families, and the world around us.

I believe we are all capable of making a positive impact in the world, and the change starts with ourselves.

We need to be willing to take responsibility for our lives, make the changes necessary to get there be it financially/emotionally/relationally/spiritually, and stop blaming other people like our parents for not having the life that we want to live.

If Azeem never took the courageous step of coming out of his shell of being introverted, he would never have created @foundconscious and be able to impact the hundreds of thousands of lives that he's doing through social media.

Just like Azeem and I, you are also capable of creating a great life for yourself, your family, and those around you but you have to be willing to make the necessary changes in your mindset, beliefs, values, and actions in order to create that life.

I hope you are encouraged from this interview with Azeem, that you take action on what you hear, and that you apply the valuable lessons you learn into your life for your success and happiness.

In this episode I talk with my friend Jason Wong who is the CEO of Wonghaus Ventures and has built multiple companies at a young age. He has exited on several companies already, has learned how to make products go viral through influencer marketing, and from his Tumblr famous days has developed a network on social media that extends to hundreds of millions of followers.

Jason talks about his journey as an entrepreneur and how he used to teach himself various things online because he had free time while his parents were busy working.

During his time when he wasn't helping out with the family business, he spent time learning online, making Internet friends, and learning about American culture from the memes he saw and the media that was produced by Americans.

When Jason immigrated to the states, he came with an understanding of America based on watching media like the TV show "Friends" and consuming social media content.

And he eventually came out with his own product called the Holy Meme Bible which describes all the popular memes of the year and packaged it into a coloring book so kids can discover the popular memes that has shaped a lot of society's culture and trends.
