"For me, the customer is like my girlfriend. If the customer is happy, I'm happy.” – Nguyen Van NamThis episode was such a blast to record. Not only was it filmed at the stunning House of Merlin, one of my favorite cocktail bars in Saigon, but I also got to sit down with Nguyen Van Nam, a talented young bartender who represents the next wave of Gen Z hospitality professionals in Vietnam.What struck me most about Nam is how honest and self-aware he is. He says he's an introvert—and maybe he is—but you wouldn't know it from how naturally he connects with people. It's a beautiful contradiction: someone who claims to be shy yet thrives in a high-contact, high-energy environment like bartending. That's what this episode is all about: shaking up stereotypes, mixing in some good humor, and serving a double pour of insight.What we talked about in this episode:Why Nam compares happy customers to happy relationshipsThe art and storytelling behind signature cocktails at House of MerlinGen Z in Vietnam: lazy but talented?Why so many young Vietnamese identify as introvertsGender and drinks: is there subtle sexism in how alcohol is served?What older generations think of how Gen Z spends money and worksChapters & Timestamps00:00 – Meet Nam & intro to House of Merlin04:00 – Mixing live: Signature cocktails, saffron, and Huynh's priceless reaction10:00 – Gender & drinks: Are Vietnamese bars subtly sexist?11:30 – Behind the bar: The reality of being a bartender vs. the glamor14:00 – Gen Z in Vietnam: Lazy but talented?

"There's a youthful, hungry population here—and you can feel the energy in the streets every day." – Hugo BoschI absolutely loved this episode. Hugo was not only a fantastic guest, but also someone who opened my eyes to a side of Vietnam I hadn't properly explored before: the stock market and capital markets. I'll admit it, even as a long-term expat here, I never really thought much about investing in Vietnam. But after this conversation, I came away with a whole new perspective—not just about stocks and finance, but about the real growth and potential happening in this country every day.From his insights into Vietnam's economic boom to rowing through weed-covered patches of the Saigon River, Hugo brought stories, stats, and humour in equal measure. And as always, we kept it real—talking about what it's like to build a life here, why people stay, and what might make them leave.Key Talking PointsVietnam's stock market: how it works, how fast it's growing, and why foreign investors should care.The "demographic dividend" and how a young, urbanising population is fuelling rapid development.The joy (and danger) of motorbikes in Saigon, plus the shift toward electric bikes.Rowing on the Saigon River—yes, that's a thing—and what makes it wildly different from the Thames.How foreigners view Vietnam vs. the economic reality on the ground.Chapters & Timestamps00:00 – Welcome & Hugo's origin story06:00 – The joy of riding motorbikes (and switching to electric)11:00 – What are capital markets?

"I took my entire severance pay and blew it on a two-month trip to Asia — and that decision changed my life." - Hao TranIn this episode, I felt a strong sense of kindred spirit with Hao. We both came to Vietnam almost exactly nine years ago and ended up building something rooted in storytelling. I loved Hao's honesty about how Vietcetera started from nothing — no business plan, no roadmap — just curiosity and persistence. What stuck with me most was his idea that podcasting and media aren't just about broadcasting, but about representation: Vietnam telling its own story, from the inside out.He reminded me of the importance of long-term vision. When people told him they'd run out of stories, he proved that Vietnam is overflowing with them. This is more than media; it's cultural documentation. And honestly, that's what I hope the Vietnam Podcast becomes as well.Top 5 Takeaways - Hao came to Vietnam with no plans and just $300/month: A leap of faith that would unknowingly launch Vietcetera.- Vietcetera's first-ever feature was rejected by its subject: A lesson in humility, editing, and persistence.- The first paid advertorial turned out to be a voucher, not cash: Business lessons in transparency and expectation-setting.- There was no business model — it was built on energy, value exchange, and curiosity.- Mission to “bring Vietnam to the world” is not only alive — it's overflowing with untold stories.Chapters & Timestamps04:30-From Tech Layoff to Vietnam Leap06:30-Meeting Andrew Frazier & Early Immersions09:30-The First Vietcetera Blog: Rejection & Rewrite19:00-Living on $300 a Month in Vietnam22:00-Language, Culture & Being a Vietnamese-American Boss24:30- Remote Work, Human Connection & Gen Z Trends31:00-Youth Identity, Content Influence & the Monoculture39:00-Mission to Bring Vietnam to the World41:00-Supporting the Next Generation of Vietnamese Talent"Send me a message!"This Season is sponsored by Premier Dental.Discover the potential of a confident and healthy smile with the excellent dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh Support the show

“I got kicked out of college. That was the moment I had to grow up—not just as a player, but as a man.” – Davon DillardWhen I first saw Davon Dillard playing for the Saigon Heat, I knew I had to talk to him. He stood out immediately—not just because of his athleticism on the court, but because there was something about his presence. He looked focused. Grounded. Professional.And as it turns out—his story is even more powerful off the court than on it.Davon opens up about hitting rock bottom after getting dismissed from Oklahoma State, and how that moment became the spark for personal growth, discipline, and a complete lifestyle change. Now, not only is he playing pro basketball in Vietnam, but he's also a published author, a proud vegetarian for over a decade, and someone who's using his story to lift others up.This one's about more than basketball. It's about identity, transformation, and how we can all use our lowest points to rise higher than ever before.Key Talking Points- What it's like playing for the Saigon Heat and the basketball culture in Vietnam- First impressions of Vietnam, and how Davon's family reacted to the move- What it's like being a tall, tattooed, Black athlete in Asia- How a lifelong aversion to meat turned into 11+ years of vegetarian living- Thoughts on Vietnamese food (and navigating “healthy” options)- The power of resilience, community, and building a legacy through writingChapters and Timestamps06:20 – Basketball in Vietnam: Clappers, crowds, and why it's catching on10:15 – Standing out in Asia: On being tall, tattooed, and Black in public15:40 – The turning point: Getting kicked out of college and hitting rock bottom26:30 – Writing three cookbooks and building purpose beyond basketball34:00 – Going vegetarian: childhood food aversions, fasting, and discipline40:00 – Protein & performance: how he fuels his body with mushrooms, eggs & juice"Send me a message!"This Season is sponsored by Premier Dental.Discover the potential of a confident and healthy smile with the excellent dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh The full list of winners is here.
