What Just Happened?

This is a somewhat different type of episode. The topic of the day is officially "research" -- how to approach research, what questions to ask, where to find resources. But to make it fun, David talks about planning an aspirational family trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, while Eugene asks key questions about how to make the process less overwhelming. (Really, though, what this episode reveals is that our hosts are feeling the effects of the pandemic travel restrictions!) As always, thank you for listening!

"Please stand clear of the doors. Por favor, mantengase alegado de las puertas." - The Monorail

While recording our Minari episode, Eugene and David discussed their feelings on the aftermath of the Atlanta shooting (which, to be honest, already feels like an eternity ago). In this bonus segment, we discuss our thoughts on the shooting and ways we wish to elevate Asian American female voices. 

Support Asian American women

Red Canary Song: We are a grassroots collective of Asian & migrant sex workers, organizing transnationally. https://www.redcanarysong.net/

NAPAWF: We work to build a movement for social, political, and structural change for Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women and girls. https://www.napawf.org/ KIWA (Koreatown Immigrant Workers Alliance): Our mission is to build the power of immigrant workers and to organize a grassroots leadership to transform our workplaces and communities, in Koreatown and beyond. https://kiwa.org/

From our last episode's focus on reality TV, we turn to the critically acclaimed independent film Minari. Beyond the accolades and awards (congrats Youn Yuh-jung!), this movie hit home for both David and Eugene on a personal level. We talk about all the ways it did. As always, thank you for listening!

"Minari is truly the best. It grows anywhere, like weeds. So anyone can pick and eat it. Rich or poor, anyone can enjoy it and be healthy." - Soonja

(Note: This episode was recorded before the mass shooting in Atlanta.)

As further proof the pandemic has caused David to crack, look no further than how he fell down the rabbit hole of the (highly entertaining) Netflix reality series, "Bling Empire." It took a little more convincing to get Eugene to join the watch party but -- to no surprise of long time listeners of this podcast -- it turns out Eugene had a lot to say about not only this television show, but reality TV, relationships, romance, and love. As always, thanks for listening!

"We're all Asian, we don't fight." - Kane

In the last episode, Eugene discussed how he formatted OmniFocus to see his tasks one at a time, for enhanced focus. For those who are interested, in this bonus segment, Eugene goes in depth about how he was able to create this perspective.

The next episode will be released on April 13th. We hope you are all doing well. Thanks for listening!

Who knew life in a pandemic could be so busy? In this episode, Eugene solves how to use OmniFocus best for him. We also take a bigger picture approach to our To Do lists and think about how we can reduce the overall busyness and stress in our lives, and close with a discussion of who does the grocery shopping for our respective families. As always, thank you for listening!

"Busy has become the new fine." - Jeff Shinabarger

I (David) am terrible at to do lists. More often than not I can't remember where I put my list in the first place. In this episode, Eugene and I discuss how I've become a new convert to OmniFocus, while Eugene harbors some well founded doubts. As always, thank you for listening!

"To-do list : to-do list!" ― Ljupka Cvetanova

In the third and final episode of the Enneagram series, the spotlight turns on David who discusses the unusual experience of being equal parts type 5 (Investigator) and type 9 (Peacemaker). David discusses how he was more naturally an investigator while peacemaking was something he needed to work on, how his types impact his marriage and relationships, and why this combination can lead to both contentment and complacency. We're so glad you took this Enneagram journey with. As always, thank you for listening!

"She was like the moon—part of her was always hidden away." - Dia Reeves

In part 2 of our series on Enneagrams, we dive deep into types two (helper) and seven (enthusiast). As a lifelong helper, Eugene tells us how his helper type has changed over time for the better, and what he thinks helpers are like in relationships. He also reveals why he may not be as strong an enthusiast as David believes, but also where he wants to direct his enthusiast energy. The next episode will be our last in the Enneagram series (for now) where we discuss David's results. As always, thanks for listening!

"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'" - Fred Rogers

It's finally here! In today's episode, David and Eugene dig deep into the Enneagram test, a model of personality defined by 9 different types. Specifically, we talk about Eugene's results, ways in which they do or don't match his lived experience, and what we think may explain how he got the way he is. As always, thanks for listening!
