About Vulnerability Junkies
From the publisher's feed
It’s no secret that guys suck at talking about their feelings and everyone wishes they were better at it, us included. On Vulnerability Junkies, two friends (Kevin Lau & Jamie Wong) struggle…
through the scary parts of personal and career growth as 20/30 somethings, their cultural identities as Asian Canadians, and becoming less emotionally constipated. After taking an emotional intelligence course while between silicon valley tech jobs, we started this podcast to practice, fail, and learn in public. So here it is in all its messy glory. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your hit of vulnerability.
