The chef and media extraordinaire Eddie Huang joins host Alexi Pappas to discuss how a handful of mentors have helped him stay in touch with himself and his values along his ever-evolving and sometimes turbulent business trajectory in the media world. Eddie shares what the editor of his book Fresh Off the Boat taught him about writing and how the lessons we learn making art always apply elsewhere in our lives too. Eddie recounts the day he met Anthony Bourdain and tells Alexi about how their friendship was predicated on a mutual commitment to always tell the truth. Eddie and Alexi also talk about the difference between judgment and understanding, the characteristics of a graceful mentor, and how to stay focused.
