Off The Soju

Completing college is one of the most bittersweet experiences you go through in life. On one hand, you are relieved that you finished and excited for what the future has in store for you. On the other hand, is the anxiety that comes with finding your next step in life and having to go through it yourself. Today, we speak to you about the trials the three of us have face to get to where we are today; and some tricks and tips that might help you when finding a job in this competitive market. The three of us also have unique perspectives in our work philosophy as Alex works in a corporate SaaS position, Phillip works in the real estate industry as an entrepreneur, and Winston is a unique hybrid of both (corporate marketing, and entrepreneur at heart.) We hope you get some great info from this podcast as we had a great time recording this one! If you have any questions for us regarding our work fields feel free to contact us at any time.

The reason we started this podcast is because we wanted to challenge the boundaries of Asian American identity. We love celebrating all the diverse and unique experiences of Asian Americans here at Off the Soju. A recent poll done by the leading Asian Americans to unite for change (LAAUNCH) revealed that the three adjectives most used to describe Asians Americans were smart, hardworking, and nice. Although these adjectives seem to be desirable traits, not all of us align with that perception. Some of us want to be sexy, cool, outspoken, confident, passionate, etc. Today, we celebrate the Asians trailblazers who defied the boundaries of what an Asian can be. Those who we admired while growing up where we could say, “Hey that person looks like me.. and they're doing that.” ——— Follow Kimmy!

We've all experienced toxic partners, either personally or from second hand venting sessions with your best friend. On today's episode, we take a deep dive on toxic relationships and the depths some people would go in their toxic tendencies. This one is a bit wild and not intended for the younger audience or those who wish to keep their soul pure ;) We also discuss how sex is a major factor in a healthy relationship, the difference between horoscope girls and five love language girls, and the age old question: is it the size of the boat or the motion in the ocean?

We are living through a post-Trump era, filled with many racial tensions and a vast divide in opinions and political stances. In a time like this, it's so easy to point out the negatives and have a pessimistic outlook on America.

For our fourth episode, we bring to you Kyle “DJ Asthmatc” Decallos. Kyle is a man of fitness, both physically and mentally. He is a DJ, physical fitness manager and trainer, activist, and the current president of NAACP's San Jose youth branch.

Off The Soju: Defying the boundaries of Asian-American identity through stories and honest conversation. Drinking soju can often lead to hazy memory, throbbing headaches, and nights you'd prefer to forget. However, they can also lead to conversations that reach passionate depths that are seemingly unattainable without a bit of liquid joy. Conversations free of ego, tension, and inhibitions. These are the types of conversations that we wish to bring to you in each and every episode as we discuss a wide range of topics, experiences, and current events involving Asian-American culture. Thank you for joining us for our first ever episode where we discuss what the podcast is all about, our origin stories as Asian-Americans, old and new Asian television shows/media, and the recent attacks on the Asian elderly.
