In Asian culture, fish represent abundance and familial harmony. However, the most delicate and delicious part of the fish is reserved for the eldest or most honorable member of the family: the cheeks. Now, actress Olivia Sui is bringing the same sense of community and culture she grew up with to her new podcast. On Fish Cheeks, Olivia dives deep with guests from a wide array of cultures and industries, discussing their unique journeys and empowering listeners to take the road less traveled- because only there will they find abundance.
