    EP18 The Essence of Chongqing Hot pot, All in a Jar, with Hotpot Queen

    For ethnic cuisines, navigating the balance between authenticity and adaptation can be tricky. While there’s a strong urge to stay true to the original recipe, compromises have to be made to appeal to the local palate. But Jia, the founder of a Chinese sauce brand called Hotpot Queen, doesn’t want to play it safe and aspires to bring the boldest Sichuan flavors to Americans’ plates — from sandwich to ice cream. Besides the unapologetic spiciness and numbness, her sauce has a secret element that adds a kick — the love and passion passed down through her mom and generations of Chongqing women.  In this episode, Lulu talks with Jia, the founder of Hotpot Queen, whose fiery personality tastes just like her sauces. You’ll hear about:  How do brands get the most out of Natural Products Expo West? What are the top organic food trends for 2023? What makes Hotpot Queen different from other hot sauce brands? Which foods pair surprisingly well with hot sauce? Never want to miss an episode?

    EP17 The Spice That Throws A Party in Your Mouth, with Yao Zhao

    We never get tired of foods that give us a funny feeling. Like mustard that sends a shockwave through our skull. Like carbonated drinks with a playful fizz in every sip. It’s not necessarily the flavor that sets us on fire; it’s the sensation that does the magic. For those in the food industry, creating a sparkling sensory experience would be key to crafting a killer product. This is precisely what inspired Yao to start 50Hertz, a brand featuring the unique taste of Sichuan Pepper. Don’t mistake it for the fiery red chili pepper you typically see in a Sichuan dish; it’s the small round berry that hides in the plate. In this episode, Lulu talks with Yao Zhao, the founder of 50Hertz Tingly Foods. They explore what makes Sichuan pepper special, how well it has been received in the US market, and how it can make mealtime more exciting. You’ll hear about: What was the founder’s ‘aha moment’? What’s the science behind Sichuan pepper's buzz? How did Yao get his early customers? How did Yao get customers to repurchase? What goes with Sichuan Pepper oil? Never want to miss an episode?

    EP16 Not Your Average Asian Americans, with the Filmmakers of Unconditional

    When the thirteen-year-old Zao first saw Margaret Cho’s standup comedy on TV, he was intrigued by her loud and unapologetic persona and wished to see more not-your-average Asians on stage and screen. Later, Zao became a filmmaker himself and met Joyce, a producer who also aspires to debunk the model minority myth by creating more “irreverent” Asian characters. The two hit it off and went on making a proof-of-concept film to promote the idea. Joyce even brought Margaret on the cast and Zao was thrilled to work with his idol. Though the story is about an Asian American family, Zao and Joyce don’t think it’s ethnicity-based. It intends to address something universal, with the Asian idiosyncrasies being the cherry on the cake. And they’ve been working very hard to turn the short film into a full-length one… In this episode, Lulu talks with Zao Wang (ins @zaowangfilm) and Joyce Liu-Countryman (ins @joyceliucountryman), the director and producer of the film Unconditional: A Family Guide to Hunting. They share their takes on breaking Asian stereotypes in the media. You’ll hear about: What’s their film about? How to get a famous actress in your film Why is funding for a film important? How did Daniels make Everything Everywhere All At Once with Adobe? Why do we love Everything Everywhere All At Once? Never want to miss an episode?

    EP15 Besides ChatGPT, Who Else Could Boost Your Writing, with Zachary Johnson

    Next time you proofread your writing, watch out for timidity — anything that sounds vague, indirect or hesitant unless you truly mean it. It's not just the grammar that matters, but the tone. As much of our communications have gone digital across text, emails and shared docs, it’s even more crucial to know how to add sparkle to what we write so that the readers would jump up and implement what we suggest. This also raises the bar for online writing assistants —besides catching typos, those smart ones can even help tweak the tone of our writing, depending on whether we’d like to sound personable or professional. In this episode, Lulu talks with Zachary, a perpetual creator / product marketing manager @Grammarly who shares how Grammarly has gone beyond fixing college essays and turned to revamping everyone’s everyday writing. As generative AI like ChatGPT takes the stage, could productivity tools like Grammarly still find their niche? You’ll hear about: How could Grammarly attract two diametrically opposed groups of users? What is inbound and outbound marketing? How to avoid being a "solution in search of a problem"? Why should marketers diversity their digital ad spend? Never want to miss an episode? Search for “dedicated lulu” on Apple Podcast or Spotify, and subscribe to the show!
