    #16 - Who's Actually in the Room

    Not everyone who's around is actually there. A short solo episode recorded from home — about the people who show up before there's anything to show for. Before the studio, before the show, before any of it made sense. This one's about the front row seats that get earned without anyone noticing. AFAAM is a podcast about building a life in Manila, hosted by a Filipino American figuring it out one episode at a time.

    #15 - The Person Behind the Persona | DJY

    DJY has 230,000 YouTube subscribers and one of the most recognizable personalities in MLBB content creation. But this episode isn't about the numbers. It's about the streams where nobody showed up. The watchparty where he almost quit. The pride he gave up being made fun of online every day. And what kept him going when everything was telling him to stop. He's in Manila for a few months. He's about to go home. This is the conversation he had before he left.

    #14 - Nobody Asked For This

    Most people build because they have to. The rent, the career, the dream with no backup plan. This episode is about building when you don't have to — and why that version of building is actually the hardest one to explain and the hardest one to sustain. After fifteen years in Philippine esports, there was no gap to fill and no crisis to solve. AFAAM and Manila Podcast Studio happened anyway. This is the honest story of why.

    #13 - What the Work Actually Costs | Coach Hazel

    Hazel Calawod holds multiple lives at once — Sports OT, actress, startup founder. She's building digital health technology for persons with disabilities in the Philippines. And she does all of it at full intensity. This episode isn't about the resume. It's about the cost — the loneliness, the sleepless mind, the social gatherings she skips to keep building, and what it actually feels like to carry this much on purpose.

    #12 - What Happens After The Dream Comes True?

    AFAAM — A Filipino American Around Manila. Season 1: Building, Not Escaping. A few weeks ago, I wrapped up my ninth season of MPL Philippines. When I first started casting, I wasn't thinking about season nine. I was thinking about getting my foot in the door. Getting an opportunity. Proving I belonged. Now, after multiple world championships, international tournaments, and years of doing what I once considered a dream job, I find myself asking a different question: What happens after the dream comes true? In this episode, I reflect on ambition, longevity, and the strange reality of achieving something you once thought would solve everything. We talk about momentum, uncertainty, staying relevant, and why the questions don't disappear when you reach the goal. Sometimes they get bigger.

    #9 - When Success Doesn't Look Like What You Thought

    AFAAM — A Filipino American Around Manila. Season 1: Building, Not Escaping. What does success actually look like when you're the one writing the definition? Not the version your parents can explain to their friends. Not the version that fits a clean narrative. The one you're actually building — in real time, with no template that fits. In this episode, I sit with a question I've been avoiding: Is what I'm building success? Or is it the part that comes before success? And what's the difference? If you've ever felt the gap between what success is supposed to look like and what you're actually living — this one's for you.
