Why do I love surfing? [Khe Hy] 48:31

1d ago48:31

48:31

When I was 22 years old, I worked 100 hours a week as an investment banker on Wall Street. I daydreamed about the day when I could retire, move to the beach and surf every day. When the board meeting would become the board meeting. That day came at age 35. I didn't retire or hit my "number." But I had enough to make a bold pivot and say, "Okay, now…

How do I get started with AI? [Dan Shipper] 56:37

8d ago56:37

56:37

Do you feel like AI is a solution in search of a problem? I used to feel the same way. ChatGPT was basically a glorified search engine for me. I'd ask it things like "how do I make the fluffiest pancakes?" But after talking to AI expert Dan Shipper, I realized I was just scratching the surface. Dan showed me how to use AI to negotiate with vendors,…

How’s life after Wall Street? [Khe Hy] 1:00:18

22d ago1:00:18

1:00:18

2015. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was the Person of the Year, Instagram Stories didn’t exist and Uptown Funk was the most popular song in the country. And I left Wall Street with a newborn daughter and no real plan. In the past 9 years, I’ve learned about money, envy, simplicity and relationships. And I want to share all of it with you. [Episod…

Do you belong in an open relationship? [Suzi Sosa] 59:14

1M ago59:14

59:14

5% of Americans are in open relationships. I used to think that this world was for hot 20-somethings frolicking around house parties. Whether it’s open marriages, swinging or polyamory — the taboo is lifting and trend is definitely coming to a gentrified neighborhood near you. What’s most fascinating? For these relationships to succeed, you need a …

What does it mean to be Asian? [Khe Hy] 58:19

2M ago58:19

58:19

I’ve been told I look Brazilian, Greek and Hawaiian. I relished it because I didn’t want to be called Asian. Especially not in 80s and 90s, where the stereotypes of docile nerds (who like math and kung fu) reigned supreme. Now at age 44, not only are Asian men having a “moment” — I’ve gone inwards to reevaluate my identity, heritage and how this ha…
