Financial Samurai ,

Good podcast

Nice diverse Asian guests. Would be great if the host could let the guest speak more. Thank you.

hankobear ,

Great for inspo during my commute

Everyone gets in a motivation rut. For me, whenever I need to boost my motivation I like listening to the stories of the varied AAPI leaders interviewed here. Some I’ve heard of before, but a lot I hadn’t. So it’s cool to see so many AAPI people just excelling and telling their story. Esp the struggles that led to where they are today.

Pjy04 ,

An important category

Jerry gives an important voice for Asian Americans allowing a variety of viewpoints to be shared to a wider audience. Keep up the great work in finding energizing stories and perspectives
