So much of conversation is about understanding context.   From determining which conversations and relationships are worth engaging in to understanding the alignment in values to solving conflict, if you don't pick up on the context, you might create problems.   As you'll hear from my guest in this episode, John Wang, culture also provides context clues, which he discusses in his new book, Big Asian Energy, and on his podcast.   Often, John explains, the most important context comes from conversations you have with yourself first before you seek to engage with and understand others. This can make all the difference in communicating across differences and divides.   You can order John's book at https://www.amazon.com/Big-Asian-Energy-Unapologetic-Leadership/dp/0593475437   Check out John's work at https://www.bigasianenergy.com/.

Today on Can't Be Contained, I get to sit down with someone who is not only a dear friend, but one of the most honest, energizing voices I know—John Wang! John is a champion of Big Asian Energy (yes, he literally wrote the book on it!), an advocate for anyone who's fought to be seen, and a living, breathing example of what happens when you shatter the boxes the world puts you in. As I recorded this intro, I was literally packing for a Vegas keynote, thinking about how wild life gets when you set your intention and fully claim it. It's not magic—it's clarity. And clarity? That is where today's conversation begins. From there, John and I roll deep. Like, deep enough to laugh about our inner children, roasting each other about country music (Amy, we love you!), and unpacking what it actually took for both of us—after lifetimes of being the achievers, the pleasers, the strong ones—to let go of old scripts and let ourselves feel. Not just feel, but receive, expand, and own the space we're meant for. Listen in as John shares his journey growing up in a culture that taught him to silence his own greatness, how breakdown led to breakthrough (men's group, what?!), and how being honest about the messiness actually brought more love—and power—into every area of his life. Inside, we dig into: ➤ How a “burnout breakdown” became the catalyst for John's true calling ➤ Rewriting the story of worthiness—especially for high achievers and “model minorities” ➤ The step-by-step way to bring your inner child (and all your parts!) back online so you can lead and love from wholeness ➤ Real tools for couples wanting more emotional connection, even if your partner “doesn't get” inner work yet ➤ Why receiving—compliments, support, rest, JOY—matters just as much as being productive If you've ever felt unseen, like you're living below your potential, or trapped in patterns that just don't fit anymore—this episode is your permission slip to break free. We talk relationships, power dynamics, joy over productivity (yes, I quit an $11 million offer that drained my soul!), and why “having it all together” is so last season. This isn't just about Asians, or men, or entrepreneurs—it's about anyone who's ready to let their light all the way out, even if it gets a little awkward, a little messy, or a LOT real. Grab John's new book Big Asian Energy and my free 3-minute breathwork for imposter syndrome, because whether you're on the edge of a breakthrough or just searching for your voice—trust me, you are SO worthy. And the world needs exactly what only you can bring. Join us as we laugh, get raw, and remind ourselves (and you!) that your energy cannot—will not—be contained.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 738 What if the stories you're clinging to are preventing you from becoming your truest self? And are they even your stories to begin with? Leadership Coach John Wang joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 738, to share how cultural pressure, generational wounds, and the fear of “not being enough” shape our identity from a young age, why challenging these scripts can help you rewrite your life, and how to close the gap between who you think you should be and who you really are. "The language that your parents speak to you becomes the language that you speak to yourself for the rest of your life. And if your parents didn't know how to speak the language of love, the language of nurture, the language of understanding, then it's likely that you didn't learn that language either." - John Wang

Whether done intentionally or not, our environment often influences our limitations in life. In particular, cultural conditioning. This occurs in many cultures across the world. When we walk the path of personal development and mental well-being, we begin to see those limitations. In this episode, John Wang (Big Asian Energy), talks about some of those cultural barriers he has worked past. While John speaks from an Asian lens, there is much to learn from those cultures that can help us all grow individually and collectively.

A Call from Christ (John 20:19-23)

This week I am bringing to you an episode where I was interviewed by another amazing podcast host, John Wang on his show - Big Asian Energy. He is an educator, speaker, a certified coach who specializes in working with Asian Americans on inner work, mindset and their communication skills. We unpacked how Asian culture makes us believe that our worth is solely tied to our achievements and productivity and seeking approval from our family and superiors. We start to believe that our value is measured through external validation and what others think of us. Then this belief system leads to self doubt and a disconnection from our true selves. We did a dive deep into inner child work, the emotional wounds that we incur as children and how breathwork can really free us of this experience and the narratives we tell ourselves that we can step into our truest, biggest versions of ourselves. So listen to this week's powerful episode and enjoy.

Why do Asians often get overlooked for leadership? Studies have shown that Asian Americans are amongst the most highly educated groups, yet are statistically held back from leadership positions. Despite working hard, they are often overlooked for their efforts and brilliance. Several myths are continuously perpetrated about Asian Americans in the workplace, from perceptions of the "shyness" to mindset and communication limitations from pressures of assimilation.John Wang is a well-known Asian American communication and mindset speaker, with 15 years of experience coaching quiet overachievers to be seen for their brilliance. He is the founder of Big Asian Energy and his videos on overcoming our patterns of self sabotage have been seen by over 26 million people.

While we tend to focus mainly on farmers markets, here on Tent Talk, we love food markets of all shapes, sizes and persuasions! So this week we were delighted to speak with John Wang, founder of the Queens Night Market, an open-air night market in Queens, New York. Every Saturday night from April-October, the Queens Night Market features up to 100 independent vendors selling merchandise, art, and food as well as small-scale cultural performances, celebrating the rich cultural diversity and heritage of its borough. Now heading into its eighth season, the wildly popular and uniquely affordable event has launched over 350 new businesses in NYC and represented over 90 countries through its vendors and their food. In this episode we hear about how John got this project off the ground, how he curates his diverse roster of vendors, and his philosophy behind the $5 price cap on food sold at his market. This week's episode is made possible by support from Yiftee.

In this episode of Talking Practice, host Grace La interviews Mack Scogin and Merrill Elam, principals and co-founders of Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects in Atlanta, Georgia. Shortly after their studies, Mack and Merrill began their professional careers at Heery and Heery in Atlanta, Georgia, where the duo developed a deep appreciation for the productive nature of diversity and a pioneering knowledge of project management. Merrill's MBA background further enabled her to speak the language of business, a skill that later proved vital when they began their independent practice. Recounting early projects such as the Morrow Branch Library, the Clayton County Headquarters Library, and a factory building for Herman Miller, Mack and Merrill articulate their understanding of architecture as responsive to the people and contexts it serves. Finally, reflecting on the state of architectural education today, Mack and Merrill share their excitement about the entangled conditions of our time and underscore the importance of using computation intelligently. For more on the practice of Mack Scogin Merril Elam Architects, check out Harvard Design Magazine no. 48, America.   Mack Scogin and Merrill Elam are principals at Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects in Atlanta, Georgia. With over forty years of experience, Mack and Merrill have completed a wide variety of projects including single-family residences, public libraries, university dormitories, and, most recently, a federal courthouse in Austin, TX. Their work has received over fifty awards, including six national AIA Awards of Excellence, and has been featured in international publications and museum exhibitions. From 1990 – 1995, Mack served as the chairman of the department of architecture at the GSD, and is the Kajima Professor in Practice of Architecture, Emeritus.   About the Show Developed by Harvard Graduate School of Design, Talking Practice is the first podcast series to feature in-depth interviews with leading designers on the ways in which architects, landscape architects, designers, and planners articulate design imagination through practice.

This week, I dig into why menswork can be so helpful for guys in strengthening their backbone, setting boundaries, and letting go of people-pleasing tendencies. I talk more about self-worth, and some strategies for helping to grow your own feeling of worthiness, as well as more about how you can start digging in yourself and improving the quality of your life! Every Friday we'll be releasing a short little episode like this where I unpack the interview we released that week.

¿Qué es lo más importante para andar en luz? Pasajes claves: 1 Reyes 17. Presentado por Rev. John Wang.

In this episode, host Grace La interviews Kersten Geers, who is a founding partner together with David Van Severen of OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen and the Kenzo Tange Design Critics in architecture at the GSD. Kersten recounts his early encounters with David in Belgium and the U.S., and the influence of Iñaki Ábalos and Juan Herreros during their studies in Spain. Commenting on the nature of collaboration with David, Kersten underscores the significance of dialogue in their process, in which design is understood as a cultural project and a conversation between people and across time. Reflecting on their long-standing academic inquiry of “Architecture without Content,” Kersten comments on the incapacity of architecture to keep pace with changes in technology, program, lifestyle and behavior; instead, he argues for space that is pleasurable and for an understanding of architecture as well-proportioned frames within which the complexities of life unfold. Discussing the purpose of representation, Kersten describes how simple, collage drawings are leveraged as design guides from the initial concept stage to construction detailing. For more on Kersten and David's investigation into the history and representation of American architecture, please see their fall 2019 GSD option studio. This episode of Talking Practice was recorded prior to the pandemic, and as we resume programming this Spring of 2022, we are delighted to release it and future episodes.

Comprehensive, relevant and insightful conversations about health and medicine happen here… on MedStar Health Doc Talk.    …real conversations with physician experts from around the largest healthcare system in the Maryland-DC region.The best way to a person's heart is through the wrist, at least according to the experts when it comes to a cardiac catheterization. Cardiac catheterization is a minimally invasive way to diagnose and treat a variety of heart and vascular conditions by guiding thin, flexible tubes called catheters through blood vessels to problem areas. Traditionally, this procedure was done through the femoral artery in the groin. But the gold standard today is using the transradial approach – accessing the coronary arteries through a small IV in the wrist. Transradial cardiac catheterization offers many advantages for patients including faster recovery, less pain, and less risk of bleeding.Our Interventional Cardiology Program is a national leader in this technique, and the doctors at MedStar Health use it in 90 percent or more of their cases — double the national average. Dr. John Wang, Chief of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital, and Dr. Antony Kaliyadan, an interventional cardiologist at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital explain this technique and its many advantages for patients. They also talk about why someone would need a catheterization, why more doctors haven't adopted this method, and why patients should ask their doctor if they can do the catheterization through the wrist. Learn about their “radial-first” approach, and the new innovations and technologies on the horizon in interventional cardiology.

In this episode of Talking Practice, host Grace La moderates a special roundtable, Practice in an Uncertain World. This informal event was recorded over zoom in May 2020, after the Harvard GSD evacuated its campus due to the COVID pandemic. The occasion gathered thirteen prominent architectural practitioners, who assembled on an early Saturday morning to share candid thoughts on the complexities of practice at this unprecedented moment. Featuring GSD faculty and alums, and representing different ages, geographic regions, and architectural practice type, the roundtable speakers include:  Jeffry Burchard, Elizabeth Christoforetti, Scott Cohen, Jeanne Gang, Eric Howeler, Grace La, Mark Lee, Rahul Mehrotra, Toshiko Mori, Paul Nakazawa, Lyndon Neri, Jacob Reidel, and Mack Scogin. The conversation reveals a broad spectrum of insights and experiences. From the structuring of a fledgling office to the value of diversifying project type, the guests communicate the means by which they survived past recessions.  They also discuss the importance of educating oneself outside the academy, acquiring “fitness” in new modes of thinking, and developing networks based on values and priorities. Spanning topics from the philosophical to the practical, they share their unique stories, advice, and reflections.

Today I'm Joined by John Wang, founder of the “One Kindness Challenge” that has inspired thousands of people to spread joy and kindness with the people around them. Kindness has been shown to create massive boost for your happiness, business and love life. We will dive deep into the science and practice of spreading kindness. Max Out Insights: The secret to living is giving. You can be busy or have no money and still contribute and make someone else have their whole day changed with your spontaneous and genuine kindness. Kindness is a sign of strength and not weakness. It's a sign of being able to control yourself, your circumstances and above and beyond take care of other people. There's a difference between being “Nice” and “Kind. “It's easy to be nice and smile and treat people respectfully but being kind is different. Being kind requires that we look at others and consider them properly. It requires that we let ourselves see ourselves in them and connect with them. Go out there and do acts of kindness, but also make sure you're also giving back to yourself and spending as much time with yourself. Reflect the things you like about yourself and give yourself a compliment. When you are down at rock-bottom and don't feel like giving kindness to other people, that may be one of the strongest places to start from. When you say “No” to something that you don't genuinely get joy from you're drawing a boundary. That's when you're actually giving yourself room to be kind more to other people. Because then, you're not giving away all your energy to those you may not feel deserve it. Instead, you can direct your energy to give to those who you feel like genuinely lifting-up. Max Out Quotes: “A smile or a compliment can have a massive influence over somebody's day.” “Be kind selfishly, out of your personal desire to help others.” “Those who can lift-up others are never weak, but those who fall because other people demand them to fall, cannot be strong.” “We can't have the ability to give to others if our own cup isn't full.” “Self-Kindness is the recognition that you deserve kindness as much as someone else.” “Kindness is a social contract between two people, where they see each other as human beings and equals.” “It's the smallest things that have massive differences.” Connect with John: Check out the One Kindness Challenge Website onekindness.org and connect with their Instagram @OneKindness.

Yup, we’re pissed about Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation. We ended up with an aggressively conservative Supreme Court with a 6-3 supermajority that doesn't reflect the political makeup of this country and was appointed by a president who lost the popular vote. This is minority rule. But, Supreme Court headlines aside, many of us don’t really understand the court systems leading up to the highest court in the land. According to Ballotpedia, there are a total of 278 state appellate court seats up for election in 2020. What does that even mean? It’s too bad Law and Order didn't prepare us well enough.In this episode, Jessica and Julia invite John Wang, a housing judge running for a civil court judge seat in New York City’s lower Manhattan, and Jerry Vattamala, an Asian American voting rights advocate from the non-profit Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF), to give us a crash course on the judiciary. What are the differences between a district court and an appellate court? What makes a good judge? How do we understand the complicated dynamics between politics and judicial decisions, evaluate judges on our ballots, and beyond? Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/freshoffthevote)

“There is a twelve step process to burnout. We start with excessive ambition and end with a total mental and physical collapse.”Have you noticed that burnout is a badge of honor? As a society, we place a high value on the hard work and the hustle - and if you’re burnt out, by definition you’re a hard worker! But does burnout deliver the results you want? And is it even the best strategy to create success in business and in life? This episode’s guest says not. After burning out riddled with a collection of physical and emotional symptoms, John Wang realized there had to be a better route to success.In this episode, John not only shares his story, but reveals the logic and story behind our willingness to burn out - so you can choose a more empowered path to your goals. “We almost celebrate the word burnout because of our ego. “Look at how hard I work to the point that I get to burnout” - which makes no sense.” John Wang has been a speaker and an educator for the last 15 years. His passion is coaching high-achieving entrepreneurs and students to create productive, work-life balance systems that are focused on self compassion. In particular, John gets excited about creating tools and systems that empower people to live a balanced life. John has traveled through over 50 countries and is also the founder of the OneKindness Challenge Movement - where he inspires people to change their life through an act of kindness each day. In this beautiful episode, John and I talk about: What does burnout mean?Where does the stress that causes burnout come from? How to find the balance between impact and avoiding burn out.How to make hard work feel easy. How to infuse fulfilment into work you don’t really enjoy. John’s four questions for moving through procrastination. John’s definition of purpose.And more…If your ego has a hustle tendency, but your heart wants more balance, do not miss this episode. When you understand the internal dialogue and stories that promote burnout, you’ll never want to choose that path again. “Attachment, boundaries, and core beliefs - these three things are almost always what causes people to go into burnout rather than causing them to be able to scale what they are doing to a higher level.” How to contact www.shapeframework.comhttps://www.facebook.com/johnwangofficialhttps://www.instagram.com/johnwangofficialWe thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

In this episode, Talking Practice host Grace La interviews Preston Scott Cohen, founder and principal of Preston Scott Cohen Inc, and Gerald M. McCue Professor in Architecture at the GSD. A teacher at the GSD since 1989, Cohen reflects upon his distinguished career as an educator and describes the ever-evolving dynamics between teaching and practice. Informed by his deep knowledge of the discipline, Cohen shares his early memories of architecture, and his belief in the catalytic role architecture must play in the transformation of our urban context. Discussing the mechanics of contemporary practice, Cohen reveals how his practice approaches the intensive process of project development with a progressive attitude, and how a permutational approach can sidestep the pitfalls of conventional value engineering. Looking back on his 2013 Walter Gropius Lecture and his 2018 GSD studio titled “The Future Provincetown,” Cohen furthers his analysis of the challenges confronting architecture today. Cohen ends by asserting his hope for a more symbiotic interaction between architecture and urban planning. Preston Scott Cohen is the founder and principal of Preston Scott Cohen Inc, and Gerald M. McCue Professor in Architecture at the GSD, where he served as Chair of the Department of Architecture from 2008 – 2013. Cohen’s work encompasses diverse scales and types of buildings, including houses, educational facilities, cultural institutions, and urban design. His work has been the subject of a wide range of publications and exhibitions and is held in various collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. Cohen is the author of Contested Symmetries and numerous theoretical essays on architecture. In 2018, Cohen taught a studio at the GSD titled “The Future Provincetown,” which focuses on redesigning Provincetown in the face of rising sea levels.

In this episode of Talking Practice, host Grace La interviews Gary Hilderbrand, founding principal and partner at Reed Hilderbrand, and Peter Louis Hornbeck Professor in Practice of Landscape Architecture at the GSD. Discussing his deep engagement with living systems, Gary describes the intrinsic properties of landscape architecture that differentiate it from the other design disciplines, and the significance of treating temporality as a medium for design. Commenting on the trajectory of landscape urbanism, he highlights the ways in which new modes of representation have impacted the scope and capacity of landscape architecture to imagine larger systems, and to engage with pressing problems of equity and climate change. Gary also reflects on the organization of his own firm as a cultural practice, its benchmarks, periods of stability, and growth, as well as the need for flexibility within the practice of negotiated boundaries. Gary asserts the importance of trust in practice and the ways in which the pressing questions found in practice inform his efforts in the academy. For more information about Gary’s work with landscape urbanism and living systems, check out his Fall 2018 option studio, Now Arriving: A Manhattan Transit Landscape. Gary Hilderbrand is the founding principal and partner of Reed Hilderbrand, and the Peter Louis Hornbeck Professor in Practice of Landscape Architecture at the GSD.  As a practitioner, academic, and writer, Gary works at the confluence of landscape architecture, infrastructural design, and sustainable urbanism. His projects range from university campus design, to the intimate landscapes of residences, and to the prominent landscape renewal and design for major cultural institutions such as the American Museum of Natural History, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Clark Art Institute, as well as the Harvard Business School, the sculpture park at the Storm King Art Center, and the expansion of the Boston Public Library. Gary is the recipient of the 2017 ASLA Design Medal, and is currently teaching a studio at the GSD entitled “Now Arriving: A Manhattan Transit Landscape,” which focuses on the redesign of New York City’s Penn Station.

Hey listeners. Tom here. I LOVE this episode! We talk to John Wang who is the founder of the Queens International Night Market. John is an ex-corporate lawyer who, after traveling around the world, woke up one morning and decided that he would make a night market happen in Queens. After 2 failed Kickstarters, and a lot of red-tape, he achieved his goal. What I LOVE about John and his story is that he had a vision- to bring an AFFORDABLE, authentic, and socially conscious market to NYC- and he stuck to that vision. He is dedicated (sometimes not sleeping for 28-30 hours on weekends), passionate, and driven.  If you love food, business, entrepreneurship, and passion, please give this one a listen.

I had the pleasure of interviewing my good friend, John Wang, who is the founder of One Kindness, a movement that inspires people to perform one act of kindness everyday. In our conversation together, John talks in great length about how kindness will change your life and the world. Kindness is a simple concept, but it's impact is large in scope. You have the ability to transform someone's life for the better, just by a simple act or word. It's fair to say that the world would be a very different place if we showed kindness and compassion to every living being. Are you ready to learn how kindness will change your life and the world? In the words of Margaret Mead, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." This is a special interview that you don't want to miss. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
