Welcome back to The Asian Menswear Podcast! We're kicking off the new year with a Barbershop Episode on society's expectations on where you should be in life at different ages. For example, finish school at 22, a career job by 25, a house, and a family by 30. Yeah, those expectations. We explore whether these expectations are valid today and how someone should look at age. If you're feeling behind in life or if you've checked off all the boxes but still feel like it wasn't what you expected life to be, then this is the episode for you.
