hot pursuit by AsianBossGirl

For this month’s theme of Careers and Entrepreneurship, we bring on a good friend and serial entrepreneur, Mylen Yamamoto Tansingco!! She has a background in education and taught media at the college level while starting her own media company, where she produced digital videos on the side. Now, she runs a full-fledged talent company and manages some familiar faces in the Asian American digital world. On top of that, she also started Cropsticks, a sustainable goods company that was featured on Shark Tank! “That’s what you do as an entrepreneur, you get kicked down and you get rejected too, but you gotta get back up and you gotta get back into it. Today we’re in over 250 restaurants, we’re in Disneyland, we’re in Hawaiian Airlines, we’re in the Four Seasons.” Tune in to hear Mylen's journey in creating and maintaining two successful companies, and how she's learning to pivot during COVID.

Although the three of us now work on AsianBossGirl full time, we all have had experience working in corporate. From that obnoxious coworker who loved hearing the sound of his own voice, to horrible bosses that lacked a single empathetic bone in his/her body, to comments from coworkers about race and an unnerving correlation with some aspect of your work. As kids, we would make up scary stories to tell our friends, but now as adults, we STILL have scary stories to tell – only this time, they’re 100% real, and 100% scary, if not more. In line with this month’s theme of entrepreneurship and careers, we take a walk down memory lane and recount some of the horrific instances we experienced while working our past jobs. Leave a 👩🏻‍💻 or 👨🏻‍💻 emoji if you feel us!

2020 is proving to be a challenge. On a larger scale, the world is facing a global pandemic that is trickling down and unveiling an ugly side to our country. All of these things happening in the world, whether we want to admit or not, affect all of us on an individual level. Through our conversations with each other & with our loved ones, we realize there also exists a feeling of guilt. Guilt that tells us that we don’t “deserve” to feel sad or down because “someone else is going through something worse”. But now is not the time to ignore the voice in your head that separates your soul from your ego. With all the time we’re spending at home, battling safety and our own sanity, it has become increasingly important to learn to listen to ourselves -- all parts of ourselves – the bright AND the dreary. Because only then- can we learn to bring light into a world that otherwise feels dim. Today, we’re discussing how we’re finding positivity & hope during the time. Please let us know how you're finding hope in our comments below!

This year's August 18th marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, which guaranteed and protected women’s constitutional right to vote. As Asian American women, however, this celebration was a little different for us. The 19th amendment gave women the right to vote, but women of color were still marginalized under this law. The fight for voting rights for women of color continued for many years after 1920, and it wasn't until the Voting Rights Act in 1965 that racial discrimination was finally prohibited in voting. These series of events emphasize how powerful, sought after, and precious the right to vote is. Voting is the single most direct expression of how we want the social constructs of our society to be managed. Today's episode is dedicated to all the women who have fought, progressed, and won us the opportunity to exercise one of our most basic civic rights - the right to vote! We talk about our earliest memories of the concept of voting (does anyone remember high school superlatives, homecoming court, or student government?), if voting was ever discussed within our Chinese/Taiwanese households, our first times voting, the resources we used, and what voting means to us now.

The Enneagram is a personality model made up of 9 types. We have had a couple of episodes in which we analyze each other’s personalities - there was Episode 14 where we discussed each of our horoscopes and zodiac signs, and Episode 17 which focused on our Meyers Briggs personality types. Our listeners have requested that we also dedicate an episode to the Enneagram - so here it is! We review each of our results, discuss how accurate we think this test is, what shocked us the most about our results, and get into some very deep and personal analyses about our fears and values. Have you taken the Enneagram test? Share your results with us in the comments below! This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.

Girlboss - What is the movement associated with this term all about? In today's chaotic social and economic climate, many systems and structures are being called into question, and the #girlboss movement is no exception. Join us as we discuss the history of this movement, what it represented, and where it went wrong.

We have been friends for over 5 years now (working together for 3 of those years) - we've recorded over 70 episodes together, spent many late nights meeting for both work and play, exchange messages on the daily (if not hourly), and have gone on multiple international trips together. But how well do we really know each other? Listen and find out as we guess each other's answers to questions about our careers, love and sex, friends and family, childhood, favorite foods, and some juicy random questions (the answers to which you may not want to know, like... who doesn't flush their toilet paper down the toilet?? haha). If you liked what you heard, leave a 🧻 emoji in the comments. This episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.
