A couple of weeks ago, I saw The Farewell directed by Lulu Wang and staring Awkwafina. Unlike Crazy Rich Asians, I connected with The Farewell primarily because of the main character who struggles with two different cultures, Billi. 

I love this movie. In this episode, I share my thoughts about the film and how it made me feel.

In this episode, I have the opportunity to interview one of my role models, Ngoc Thach. She is currently the Director of Public Relations in the hospitality industry and has a passion for journalism and public service. In our conversation, we speak on several topics including growing up Vietnamese in South Dakota, our names, our family relationships, and more.

One thing that I've learned from Ngoc is that many people may relate to my story regardless of their upbringing and heritage. With this new perspective, I've been rethinking about how I communicate with the people in my life and what are the intentional ways I can earn someone's trust. Up to this point in my life, I never considered "trust" as something that I've valued from others. However, Ngoc simply reminded me of that when you gain someone's trust, you have a feeling of acceptance...and acceptance has been something that I've always strived for.

Ngoc always wanted to be the pink Power Ranger and she is a badass. I'm so happy to call her family.

I am joined in this episode with a very special guest! With over 30 years of engineering practice and management, Dr. Tom Ulrich returned to academia to earn a Ph.D in organizational leadership. I discovered Dr. Ulrich one day by searching for Asian American engineering videos on Youtube. I came across his video where he explains in great detail about his research regarding Asian American engineers and their motivation to lead. I was immediately intrigued and amazed by his research.

In this episode, Dr. Ulrich aka The Engineering Leadership Guy and I speak on topics including: his background in engineering, the research that he completed while studying Asian American engineers and lastly, how young engineers today can be the leaders of tomorrow.
