Uncertain Pathfinders

Spotlight on Uncertainty: Joyful Curiosity (Part 1) (中文往下👇）

Welcome to the Uncertain Pathfinders (UP) podcast, where we ask listeners, guests, and the hosts to invite Uncertainty and unlock possibility. This episode is breaking new ground for a number of reasons :

• The first episode where the host and UP founder, Jeffrey, records solo without a co-host

• We break the episode up into two parts, where we invite a guest from abroad to record remotely (licenced Art Therapist, Stephy Hsu (Yi-Hsuan)

• We go with an entirely different structure

On part one of this two-part episode, we invite three professionals from the mental health industry to join us in the studio. They are mindfulness practitioner, John Ho, mindfulness facilitator and MBSR instructor, Joanna Chen, and founder of New Life and Certified Health and Wellness Consultant, Bernice Chai. Rather than going with our usual format, the three of them join Jeffrey in the studio to help shine a spotlight on a story that applies a successful case-study of inviting Uncertainty to produce magical moments and valuable professional contributions. 

John Ho, who resides in Portland, Oregon, took a chance and submitted a mindful session proposal for the COSCUP Taiwan 2025 tech conference.  And to his surprise, it was accepted by the organizer team and furthermore, he was given a 3 hour time slot. After earning that honor, John made the bold decision to reach out to the three other guests on today’s episode (as well as Stephy and Jessie Chang, founder of HealYou, and another previous guest on the UP podcast). At the time, John had briefly met Jessie in Taiwan over coffee chats and only knew the others from their online presence. He made the uncharacteristic choice to connect with all of them, and invited Uncertainty by asking them if they would like to co-lead a 3 hour session at the tech conference.

This episode highlights what happens when 5 strangers invited Uncertainty and said yes to unlocking possibilities of working together on a specific project. This episode is the first time they have come back together since that experience. They share what was going through their mind throughout the experience, and how the overall process has changed their views on Uncertainty in a positive note.

🌿 不確定焦點：喜悅的好奇心（上）
歡迎來到 Uncertain Pathfinders（UP）播客，在這裡，我們邀請聽眾、來賓與主持人，一起邀請「不確定」，並解鎖更多可能性。
這一集對我們來說具有多重突破的意義：

• 這是主持人暨 UP 創辦人 Jeffrey 首次單獨錄製，沒有共同主持人

• 本集分為上下兩部分，並邀請來自海外的來賓遠端錄音（持證藝術治療師 Stephy Hsu（Yi-Hsuan））

• 我們採用了全新的節目結構

在這個兩集系列的上集，我們邀請了三位來自心理健康領域的專業人士來到錄音室。他們分別是：
正念練習者 John Ho、正念引導師暨 MBSR 講師 Joanna Chen，以及 New Life 創辦人暨認證健康與健康顧問 Bernice Chai。
不同於以往的節目形式，這一集三位來賓與 Jeffrey 一同聚焦在一個故事上——一個透過「邀請不確定」而創造出奇妙時刻與專業價值的成功案例。
居住在美國俄勒岡州波特蘭的 John Ho，曾大膽嘗試，向 COSCUP Taiwan 2025 科技大會 提交一場以正念為主題的提案。令他驚喜的是，該提案不僅被主辦單位採納，還獲得了一個長達三小時的時段。
在獲得這個機會之後，John 做出了一個大膽的決定——他主動聯繫本集的三位來賓（以及 Stephy 和 HealYou 創辦人、曾上過 UP 播客的 Jessie Chang）。當時，John 只是在台灣與 Jessie 有過簡單的咖啡交流，而對其他人則僅止於網路上的認識。

他選擇跨出這一步，主動建立連結，並邀請「不確定」——詢問他們是否願意共同帶領這場三小時的工作坊。本集呈現了當五位原本幾乎互不相識的人，選擇邀請不確定並說「是」，共同投入一個具體合作時，會發生什麼樣的故事。這也是他們在那次經驗之後，首次再次聚在一起。他們分享了整個過程中的心境變化，以及這段經歷如何正向地改變了他們對「不確定」的看法。

（中文往下👇）In today’s episode of the Uncertain Pathfinders Podcast, hosts Jeffrey and Miranda welcome guest Sharon Ho, a philosophy student and marketing specialist from Indonesia currently studying in Taipei.

We begin with a word that doesn’t translate neatly into English—but many people, especially college students, know the feeling well:

混 (hùn) — pronounced “hwoon” (similar to moon, but with an h).
混 can look like drifting, going through the motions, or loosening effort when clarity hasn’t arrived yet.

It’s often misunderstood as “not caring,” but 混 can be a protective, transitional state—a way of resisting false certainty, conserving energy, or simply being honest about not knowing.

In this conversation, Sharon shares her journey as an international student with mixed Taiwanese and Indonesian heritage, navigating uncertainty through philosophy, marketing, identity, and life between cultures. She reflects openly on her first years at university—periods of confusion, anxiety, low motivation, and the pressure to “figure it all out.”
Together, we explore:

• the emotional weight of uncertainty in university life

• how philosophy can help us sit with not-knowing

• the overlap between philosophy, marketing, and storytelling

• cultural identity, language learning, and personal growth

• and why 混 may sometimes be a necessary phase before clarity emerges

The episode closes with a look toward the future—Sharon’s uncertainties, her curiosity, and the exciting possibilities ahead.

If the idea of 混 or Uncertainty resonates with you, we invite you to reflect, comment, and connect with us. At Uncertain Pathfinders, we believe that inviting Uncertainty can unlock possibility.

Invite Uncertainty. Unlock possibility. Press play together.

在本集 Uncertain Pathfinders Podcast 中，主持人 Jeffrey 與 Miranda 邀請來自印尼、目前就讀於台北的哲學系學生與行銷專才 Sharon Ho 一同進行對話。

這一集，我們從一個很難直接翻成英文，但許多人（特別是大學生）都能深刻感受到的狀態開始：
混（hùn）。混，看起來可能像是在混日子、隨波逐流，或是在還沒找到方向前，暫時不那麼用力。

它常被誤解為「不在乎」，但對很多人來說，混其實是一種過渡狀態與自我保護——在答案尚未出現前，拒絕假裝自己已經知道。

在這段對話中，Sharon 分享了她作為一名擁有台灣與印尼背景的國際學生，如何在哲學、行銷、身分認同與跨文化生活中，與不確定性共處。她也誠實談到大學前兩年的掙扎——迷惘、焦慮、缺乏動力，以及「應該要趕快想清楚未來」的壓力。
我們一起探索：

• 大學生活中的不確定與焦慮

• 哲學如何幫助我們安住在不知道之中

• 哲學、行銷與說故事之間的交會

• 文化背景、語言學習與自我成長

• 以及為什麼「混」，有時其實是走向清晰前的必要階段

在節目的最後，我們也聊到未來——Sharon 正在面對的不確定，以及解鎖新可能的機會。

如果「混」或「不確定性」這個主題對你有所共鳴，歡迎留言、提問，或與我們連結。在 Uncertain Pathfinders，我們相信：擁抱不確定，能解鎖新的可能。

👉 歡迎透過 Pathfinder Connections 合作探索表 與我們聯繫，無論是合作、一對一職涯／人生教練，或為你的團隊設計關於不確定性、失敗學習、以及以 非暴力溝通（NVC） 為基礎的工作坊。

Show Introduction:
In this episode of the Uncertain Pathfinders (UP) podcast, co-hosts Jeffrey and Olof welcome fellow improviser, performer, travel industry professional, bouldering enthusiast, drama therapy student and facilitator, “J” to the studio. Together, all three of them explore the themes of Uncertainty, drama therapy, personal growth through storytelling and improvisation, as well as breaking stereotypes and testing new beginnings in old relationships through tiny life experiments. They discuss the role of play in understanding emotions, the impact of relationships on personal development, and the journey of self-discovery through experiences like hitchhiking. The conversation emphasizes the importance of embracing Uncertainty as a pathway to unlocking possibilities and highlights the beauty of the present moment, and the “forever of Now!”

Highlights and takeaways include:

• Uncertainty leads to new possibilities and growth.
• The power of drama therapy helps to explore trauma and emotions.
• Play is a powerful tool for understanding feelings.

Welcome to the Uncertain Pathfinders (UP) podcast, where we ask guests, hosts, and listeners to invite Uncertainty and unlock possibility. On this episode, Jeffrey and guest co-host, Olof, invite Chairman and CEO of Pershing Technology Services Corporation (PTSC), Sean Chen, and AI Technical Manager, Karnan Gopalakrishnan to the studio.

In this engaging conversation, the hosts and guests explore the multifaceted nature of Uncertainty, particularly in the context of AI and personal experiences. They discuss the balance between structure and flexibility in professional settings, the emotional challenges of personal relationships, and the importance of embracing Uncertainty as a pathway to growth and innovation. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, they highlight how Uncertainty can lead to unexpected opportunities and deeper connections with others.

Episode highlights include:

• A.I. as a significant part of our past, present, and future
• Temperature in relation to Uncertainty and coding
• Transitioning from single life to cohabitation with a partner
• Running a business while balancing structure, flexibility, and Uncertainty
• Uncertainty prior to exiting the womb

Welcome to join the Uncertain Pathfinders (UP) podcast where we ask listeners, hosts, and guests to invite Uncertainty and unlock possibilities. On this episode, co-hosts Jeffrey Schwab and Miranda Wang are joined in the studio by Monika Hung. Currently an international communication MA student, Monika describes herself as a Storyteller of Collective Healing and Inner Transformation.

She is the creator and advocator of Healing Journalism—an inward-turning journalistic approach dedicated to collective healing. Drawing from years of personal experience navigating her own trauma and working closely within newsrooms, she develops this trauma-informed lens with a spirit of poetic softness and compassionate inquiry, tailored for an era marked by existential uncertainty and global disarray.

On this episode Monika explains how her own journey and reckoning with trauma brought her to this mission of Healing Journalism. Through chance encounters and serendipity, Monika continues to make connections with those around her, including some of the movers and shakers in the world of journalism. Monika shares how she balances past trauma with her steadfast mission to bring journalism to a positive light and a life of service and compassion.
