Travel can do amazing things: broaden horizons, build relationships, and rejuvenate the soul. But often, those experiences come at a cost. This is Peak Travel, a new podcast from WHYY about how travel shapes communities in hot-spots around the world. We’ll share the wonder that comes with exploring new places, as well as the harm that our worst travel habits can cause. And we’ll try to figure out how we can do it better. Each episode transports you to a new destination. You’ll meet the people who call that place home, hear their stories, and come to understand how tourism has changed their everyday lives. Supported by rich, on-location sound from around the world, Peak Travel unpacks the $1.9 trillion travel industry and its impact on people and the planet.

#033: This is part 2 of a conversation with Michael Wu! He's a co-host of the Badass Asian Dudes Podcast / Community and software engineer at Stripe. Taiwanese-American brother from Silicon Valley who went to fulfill his dreams of living and working in Japan, learning the language and eating all the sushi he can find. Cooking dope food, throwing dope parties, and living the dream.

In part 2, we talk about:

His career path as to how he got working at Stripe
On being in the right place at the right time, while working hard and being a good person
Not being naive about the challenges or dark sides of living in another country
Blowing people’s minds by bringing magic to personal experiences for yourself and others
Not letting the feeling of being treated as a foreigner get to you and the importance of building your own tribe
The most difficult moments of our lives when we lose our sense of identity
The importance of reaching out to others and being a good person along the way

Quotes:

"When you think it’s the end of the world, it’s not the end of the world."
"Don’t make suffering worse than it is."
"It’s okay to be lost, but you should be figuring out ways to get unlost."
"Don’t compromise your own ethics to get the things you want."

Rewriting Your Immigrant Family Story by Healing Generational Trauma & Embracing Your Cultural Ethnic Identity 15:00

7 days ago15:00

15:00

Send us a text Rewrite your immigrant family history by HEALING INTERGENERATIONAL TRAUMA and by EMBRACING YOUR CULTURAL ETHNIC IDENTITY! In this powerful and deeply personal episode of MAIM TIME, we dive headfirst into one of the most painful, complex, and transformative experiences shared by many children of immigrants: intergenerational trauma. Growing up with parents who came from third-world countries—who survived war, poverty, and unimaginable hardship—can often mean growing up in households filled with dysfunction, unprocessed trauma, and emotional neglect. As children, we just wanted love and safety. Instead, we got confusion, silence, shame, maybe even violence. And many of us did the only thing we could do to survive: we disassociated. We rejected our heritage, our language, our roots—because to us, our culture was the source of pain. It’s an all-too-common story: children of immigrants abandoning their ancestral identity to assimilate and survive in Western societies, only to grow up with a lingering sense of emptiness, isolation, and identity crisis. But what if that pain wasn’t the end of the story? What if the true glow-up— the real redemption arc —isn’t found in running away, but in returning ? In this episode, I talk about the double tragedy of denying your heritage: first because your parents hurt you, and second because you later choose to reject your roots, not realizing that doing so only deepens the wound. Healing begins with a radical act: reclaiming the parts of ourselves we were taught to hate, and learning to forgive—not to excuse, but to free ourselves from being chained to the past. I speak directly to those who’ve ever said, “I wish I wasn’t Asian.” To those who’ve felt lost between cultures. To those who never felt heard or seen by their own family. You are not alone. And you are not broken. Mother Asia is waiting for you. The Ancestors are waiting for you. The Dragon inside you—the Superconsciousness—is waiting for you to awaken. You are the continuation of generations of struggle and love. You are a living bridge between the past and the future. And when you choose to heal, forgive, and embrace your cultural identity, you are doing what your ancestors dreamed of . You’re creating space for peace and power, not just for yourself—but for all of us. This is the episode for anyone who’s ever felt like a stranger in their own skin. For anyone who’s ever been ashamed of their last name, their parents’ accent, their “ethnic” lunch at school. This is the call to come home to yourself. Support the show…

A New Chapter in America’s Finest City - 5 Years of MAIM TIME 16:53

6 weeks ago16:53

16:53

Send us a text Here's my cheesy ass episode description courtesy of ChatGPT: Yo, what’s good my people? MAIM TIME is BACK. After a long hiatus, I’m back on the mic to celebrate a major milestone— five years since I first started this podcast. February 2020, right before the world flipped upside down, I put out my first episode. Now, five years later, I’m back in America, starting over, and it’s time to catch y’all up on everything. Where have I been? For the past 11 years , I built a life in Korea. It was the best decision I ever made, and it shaped me into the person I am today. But at some point, what was once an adventure started to feel like a cage. I needed a change. So in March 2024, I left Korea and moved to San Diego, California —America’s Finest City, and arguably, America’s Most Expensive City. Now, I’m navigating reverse culture shock , adapting to a new life, and figuring out what’s next. Starting Over in My 30s Who does this? Who spends their 20s in a foreign country, only to return to their homeland and start over again in their 30s ? A bum like me, apparently. In the past year, I’ve had to: ✔ Get a driver’s license ✔ Start working in the family business ✔ Adjust to American life after a decade abroad ✔ Cut out distractions to focus more on personal growth ✔ Just get used to life in America Everything is different. In Seoul, I could hop on a bus or train anytime, anywhere. In San Diego, you need a car. In Korea, people keep to themselves in public. In America, strangers smile and say hi on the street. It’s weird, but in a lot of ways, I missed this. What’s Next for MAIM TIME? I don’t always know where to take this podcast, but I always find myself coming back to it. This is for me. This is for you. If you’re an Asian diaspora kid trying to figure out who you are, how to self-actualize, how to navigate the in-between of two worlds, this podcast is for us. This episode is raw, unfiltered, and straight from the heart. It’s a stream of consciousness update on my life, my struggles, and what it means to take responsibility for your future—even when you don’t have all the answers. Lessons from Rock Bottom You haven’t really lived until you’ve hit rock bottom. Until you’ve tried to cry but no tears come out. Until you’ve wanted to scream but just stare at the ceiling instead. And even then? You get up. You move forward. I could be homeless. I could be struggling just to survive. But I’m lucky. I have my family, my health, and the opportunity to build something. And if I have to survive, why not thrive? The Bigger Picture What would my Asian Ancestors do? What would the Founding Fathers do? What would you do if you had to start over from nothing? People risk everything to get here. Some walk through deserts. Some smuggle themselves across oceans. Me? I had the privilege of choice. That humbles me. That makes me grateful. And that makes me want to do more. So here I am. Back in America. A new chapter begins. Hit play, let’s talk about it.

The tagline is something I’ve revised over the past several years. But I realize, there needs to be a purpose or a vision. This is my current vision: The ultimate self-actualization of all Asian diaspora brothers and sisters worldwide, to raise the level of consciousness of the peoples of Asia, and thus consciousness for all humanity. We want one million Asian diaspora to dedicate themselves to improvement in every human metric, be it physical, financial, mental, cultural, creative, and so on. At least one million.

Send us a text Listen to episodes of MAIM TIME on your podcast player of choice , or on YouTube . This episode focuses on the importance of understanding competition as the basis of life and essential to nature, and why we must compete in order to become the best versions of ourselves in all aspects. HO HO HO! Merry Christmas, Good Will to All Men! This year, Santa Claus has a very special gift for you. No, it's not a shiny new Macbook or a super car, a mansion or a six-star luxury trip to Paris. This is the gift of... COMPETITION. It means you have to compete with everyone else in the planet to get all the good things in life that you truly desire. If you understand this, and you give it your all, you will succeed -- and you won't need me or anyone else to get you any gift. You can buy that Macbook, that super car, that mansion and that trip yourself. But here's the catch: Now that the cat's out of the bag -- yes, my big red sack -- and Pandora's Box is open, there will no longer be NICE and NAUGHTY lists going forward. There are just WINNERS, and LOSERS. Compete, and become a winner. But what if you're a loser? You don't want to face the harsh reality of life and take the necessary actions to become the best version of yourself? GET F'KED. HO HO HO! MERRY CHRISTMAS! Support the show…

Send us a text CUNSOOM MAIM TIME on your podcast player of choice ... and YouTube ! #067: "Be the hero of your own story." Nobody's going to take charge of your life but you. No one can be the hero of your own journey, but you. You write your own story. You're not the mistakes of your past. You're not all your failures. Anybody can do this. Even if you don't get your ultimate dream of what you want, you open up doors for something else. You can be proud and have satisfaction in who you are and what you're doing. Struggle is an essential part to your journey in life. Without struggle or challenge, it's meaningless. Overcoming yourself and obstacles is the great reward in and of itself. Never give up. You can do it. See, I'm living proof. In spite of all challenges in my life, I'm doing it. I'm working. I'm becoming disciplined. I'm becoming more focused. I'm getting better everyday. Again, anyone can choose to turn their life around. Doesn't mean you'll be a billionaire, a famous artist or this and that. But the journey itself is rewarding and valuable, rich in lessons, pride, glory, and happiness. Fulfillment is there for all. If I can do it, so can you.

There's never been more opportunity. We're experiencing a new unprecedented era and advances in every single field of human endeavor. Peace and prosperity, industry, technology, culture, finance, art, music, spirituality, adventure. If the First Renaissance took place in Europe from the 14th to the 17th century, then is the Second Renaissance -- Trinaissance? -- taking place in Asia? This is the Asian Century. If you're Asian, if you're diaspora, there's never been a better time to be alive, with more opportunities for success, fulfillment, impact, growth, evolution. What about your Personal Renaissance? The rebirth of your heart, mind, and soul? I've experienced several rebirths in my life. From being damned to being baptized and saved as a believer in Christ. To losing my faith entirely and surrendering to nihilism. To starting a new life in Korea to find myself and build a new identity. To starting a new career as a copywriter & podcaster, to fulfill the purpose of my life. From paradigm to paradigm. If you're reading this, if you can understand this, then you know what it means. You have immense potential. YOU ARE THE RENAISSANCE! Ryan Takemiya is a writer, DEIB speaker, and storyteller.

I LOVED THIS CONVERSATION! THIS EPISODE IS A PROPER GOLD MINE, M8!!! We are on FIRE. We are GLOWING with energy. We want what's best for you to manifest your dreams into reality and then transcend! We go deep and hard about some esoteric sheeeeiiiiiit. (Or maybe not deep and harrrrd enough?) What do you think? Is Seibo full of crap? AM I FULL OF CRAP? Tune in and find out! (Ladies, there's a moment or 2 where we talk about something sexual, please don't be grossed out or offended. We love you!) We touch upon a ton of amazing things: Can you hustle your way as an achiever while lowering your stress to stay young, and be more effective? Self-awareness on one's journey - Seibo's where Maim wants to be, but Maim's not quite there yet and that's okay. Maim is exactly where he needs to be, and with that self-awareness he can appreciate and be grateful for the moment and stage he's in now. You can do the same. Climbing Mazlow's Hierarchy of Needs to transcend it(?) Not rushing to get to the next level in the videogame of life -- not as fast as possible, but going through as thoroughly as possible in order to be better equipped and wiser for the final boss What happens when you "skip" the achiever stage and become a hippy seeking enlightenment right out of college? (Spoiler alert: You crash on Seibo's couch like a cheeky bum and realize you've been missing out on that part of life lol) Doing things like becoming a successful CEO out of something simple and deep like fear, or like a sense of not belonging Are you spending a buncha money out of actual generosity or because you want people to like you and you want to look like a hotshot? What sort of mindset is beneficial to you on the way to achieving your goals? What sort of paradigms are out there for you? What sort of immense benefits for meditation are there for you? We talk about Psycho-Cybernetics of course lol Who are you more likely to listen to, some hippy who doesn't have experience in the 3D-real-business-world, or a spiritual coach whose been running 3 companies for 3 years longer than he needed? In order to understand the metaphysical and esoteric, you have to first grasp the physical / material 3D world. It's all in stages.

I can set my own schedule to work, and have even more freedom than I already did. I can work from a laptop at a café on the other side of the country by a beach like one of those digital gonads or whatever they're called, as long as I has INTERNETZ. I can work almost anywhere in the world if I so choose! Doesn't mean I'm leaving Korea anytime soon, but it's awesome to know that I can do it if I want. I'm that much closer to living that "4-Hour Workweek" ideal. Not that I'd only work 4 hours, but that I'd have the freedom to do whatever I want with my time. I'm able to get paid more doing something I'm interested in and good at, which is writing content and ads for blockchain/crypto projects, whitepapers, e-commerce products & services, see the back-end of interesting businesses and industries, and so on. I'll have way more time and resources to devote to MAIM TIME! In fact, I never have to monetize this show if I don't want to. Why? I can make more than enough money I need for the rest of my gawd-man life, whenever and wherever I am. This is the most exciting time of my life. I'm in a critical period of transition personally, financially, spiritually. How did I get here? Where do I begin? How can this help you in your own personal journey towards what you see as "success"? Tune in and SEE WHAT TIME IT IS! Check out the webpage for this MAIM TIME episode for more! Support the show…
