The Unmanly Podcast

Davidson Hang who is a successful LinkedIn influencer and YouTuber from New York with almost 700k subs sits down with Acie to talk about the asian experience as it pertains to success, lifestyle, dating, self-love, stereotypes, traditions and a bunch more. He decided to pass through my town and I gave him a bed to sleep on for a few days - we met playing Pokemon Go lol but bonded over our mutual respect for men's work. Really nice to be able to sit with a fellow asian brother and talk things out and all of the things we've learned to get to where we are today. He joins me for a very vulnerable talk as we work through what it means to be an man and more specifically, an asian man in a western society.

I invite special guest, Dimitri Nour Abdul to come join me on the show to talk about his film "The Addiction Status (2023)" that is inspired by his own battle against internet porn addiction. We chop it up about his film, the effects of internet porn on young men and relationships and more!

There is much benefit in self-control and self-discipline. We live in a world that is in hyper speed and gratification is never outside of arms reach with our devices and social media. We have become conditioned to pleasing and satisfying our need for validation within milliseconds with just a few clicks. In the background, I feel this is causing almost irreparable damage to our neural pathways and thought patterns and this is a major dent into our warrior energy as men. How do we re-claim this power? A great start is delaying gratification and learning to say no and disciplining ourselves. 

We are products of our environment. Personally I grew up in a very rough neighbourhood in uptown Toronto and have seen, witnessed and participated in things that I hope my son never has to. This has prompted me to move to a safer city for his birth. A lot of people grow in similar situations and become victims of their circumstances for a very long time. I hope this provides some hope and perspective to those and others who may feel hopeless because of what they look like and where they came from.

I'm lucky that I was able to have a decent man walk into the life that I walked away from. There was a lot of pain and uncertainty there as to what could have happened. I'm here cleaning up the mess that I left in my own life but I'm so grateful things appear to be going well over there. 

Stay committed. As a man, commitment sometimes feels like it doesn't come easy and this manifests itself not just in our relationships, but also in our careers and other areas of life. I find what helps is having a community or a mastermind around you to motivate you and to keep you accountable is the key. 

Boundaries are often considered as one of the most important pillars of self-love. This concept originally sounded foreign to me but after diving deep into books and other media on self-love, it started making a bit more sense to me. Are there areas in your life that you're struggling to put boundaries up in? Being a people pleaser or a perfectionist can make setting and upholding healthy boundaries very difficult. It is also important to respect the boundaries of others if you want your boundaries to be respected. 

Andrew Tate, one of the most controversial figures in the world of men and masculinity has been taking over the airwaves lately and it seems that people are very divided on his opinions and his tactics. Is he for real? Is he being 100% genuine or is he just a troll? I break things down from my own perspective and discuss what effect this has on men and people. 

Answering some questions about what happened to our beloved co-host of the show, LV and if he'll be back one day or not. I'm just keeping it real in here and ending all of the speculation.
