088 - Filipino-American PR Professional on Moving to Asia and Culture Shock
Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! While we have seen some amazing progress and triumphs for the global API community in the past few years, we should also recognise that there’s still so much we could do better for people outside and within the community. This AAPI Heritage Month, we invite you all to acknowledge and honour what was, and embrace instead of pushing back change and progress. While we are at it, let’s also give some love to all Asian diasporas around the world - Asians in Europe, South America, Australia, Africa, ESEA in the UK and more!
For this week’s episode, we sit down with Filipino American PR Professional Jessica de Jesus, who was born in the Philippines and raised in Southern California. Having lived in Manila, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and Hong Kong, Jess talks to us about her experience growing up Filipino-American, moving to Asia, and the culture shock that she’s experienced along the way.

087 - Finding Your Own Path Without Straight A's (Ft. Pilates Body Founder Cardi Yeung)
When all the doors close on you, maybe it’s a sign to create and open your own door.
Cardi Yeung - a Hong Kong entrepreneur and pilates instructor - might not be a straight-A student and did not follow a traditional career path. But she shows us it is possible to define one’s success by owning up to her mistakes while carving out a new path along the way.
Born and raised in Hong Kong and educated in the UK and Switzerland, Cardi joins us to talk about how she overcame bullying and racism at school, and her experience starting and pivoting her business when conventional career options were no longer an option for her.
