But beyond the viral videos lies a deeper story.In this episode, Maggy sits down with Ray to unpack how content creation became more than just fun—it became a way to heal old wounds, help his dad rediscover his inner child, and redefine masculinity in a way he never experienced growing up. But going viral isn't all sunshine and dumplings. With fame comes pressure, identity struggles, and the risk of losing yourself in the process.From making dumplings with his dad to working alongside Mark Wahlberg in a film, Ray has had quite the journey. Through therapy, self-awareness, and healthy habits, he's learning to navigate it all. This raw and honest conversation is one of our favorites yet—real talk on family, self-growth, and breaking cycles, with a sprinkle of Daddy Dumpling's signature humor.Follow Ray: ----------------------------------------------------------------------Hosted by Maggy Wang, this podcast is where real talk meets real life — messy, mundane, and everything in between.
