269. jason chu on hip hop and activism

Chinese American rapper jason chu is known for his high-energy live performances that blend introspective lyricism with crowd-moving passion. On a mission to “speak hope and healing in a broken world”, his songs and videos tell stories of youth, family, and history.

It was fascinating to learn how he blends his love for hip hop with activism. It was also inspiring to hear about his work with the community in organizations like Hate is a Virus and the Japanese American National Museum.

In this episode, I speak with the team behind the Image Comics’ adventure series COMPASS comic!

As most of you know I am fortunate to be pals with the one and only Greg Rucka. Greg collaborated with writers ROBERT MACKENZIE and DAVE WALKER (LAZARUS SOURCEBOOK) and artist JUSTIN GREENWOOD (Stumptown, THE FUSE, THE LAST SIEGE) to bring you this action-packed adventure.

266. Goodbye 2021. Hello 2022

Hey everyone! Happy New Year! Did anyone see that Larry David episode about how late you can continue to say Happy New Year? Is mid-January too late? Fortunately for me, I have Lunar New Year coming up to reset that Happy New Year anyway. I digress.

ICYMI Episode 223. How to improve your martial arts training

I usually take a short break the last couple of weeks of the year, but I had so many wonderful guests lined up we decided to keep going! Instead, I am taking the first couple of weeks in January to reset and hope you revisit this conversation with Oscar and I as we discuss how to improve your martial arts training. These principles can be applied to any sport or exercise program. As it is the start of the New Year, hope you find some of these tips useful and helpful.

ICYMI Episode 228. White House Director of National Drug Control Policy: Dr. Rahul Gupta on covid19 vaccines.

I usually take a short break the last couple of weeks of the year, but I had so many wonderful guests lined up we decided to keep going! Instead, I am taking the first couple of weeks in January to reset and hope you revisit this conversation with Dr. Rahul Gupta as we discuss dispelling myths about vaccines and the responsibility we have as humans to protect one another. I want to congratulate Dr. Gupta on his newly appointed position as the White House Director of National Drug Control Policy.

265. Dan John on Never Let Go

Coach Dan John discusses the importance of reverence, perseverance, and appreciation for education. We have been on a journey for several episodes exploring the philosophies of The Sword in the Stone.

I am grateful for Dan’s friendship and wisdom. Dan has a knack for uncovering profound life lessons during our discussions and I am fortunate to be on the receiving end of these treasures.

In Memoriam: Da Bass Man Phil Chen

Phil Chen is a well-known Jamaican bassist that I called ‘Uncle Phil’ throughout my life. He was one of England’s most utilized session bassists during the 1970s and 1980s, including Jeff Beck, and the Rod Stewart band, but is probably best known for his later work with The Doors. He has played with high-profile musicians like Eddie Van Halen, Eric Clapton, Elton John, BB King, The Skatalites, Chuck Berry, and Bob Marley to name a few.

264. Greg Rucka on discipline, learning and creativity

I am always grateful when Greg Rucka graciously takes time out of his busy writing schedule to podcast with me.

In this episode, we avoid current events and delve into some self-reflection on the relationship between creativity and content as well as the importance of discipline.

263. NAPAWF on the AAPI community and reproductive justice

The National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum (NAPAWF) is the only organization focused on building power with AAPI women and girls to influence critical decisions that affect AAPI lives, families, and communities. Using a reproductive justice framework, they elevate AAPI women and girls to impact policy and drive systemic change in the United States.

262. Matt Fraction on Hawkeye, Shang Chi and Adventureman

In this episode, Matt Fraction discusses his role as a consulting producer on Disney Marvel’s Hawkeye! As a fan of Matt’s original comic series created with David Aja, I was psyched to see that his version of Hawkeye was coming to tv.

Matt shares his experience working on the film and the glamour of the series premiere in Hollywood. We recorded this episode a day before it airs, so let us know what you think of the show now that it is streaming on Disney+.
