EP 16: Jason Nguyen- The Phoenix, AZ Creative on Fashion, Style, Community, and his Streetwear Brand

This episode of The Walmak Podcast is a laid-back conversation with Phoenix-based Vietnamese creative entrepreneur Jason (Phuc Huu) Nguyen—a guy whose story, style, and self-awareness make this episode fly by. Jason talks about growing up in Phoenix, AZ, the Vietnamese community there, and immigrating to the U.S. with his family, a background that plays a huge role in how he builds his streetwear brand, Nguyen Dynasty Co. Culture, community, and representation aren’t just buzzwords here—they’re woven directly into his brand identity.We dig into his creative path, what he actually does for a living (finally clarified), and how having proud parents both motivates and pressures him. The conversation drifts effortlessly into Sedona trips, fashion, personal style, thrifting gems, and learning the hard way by making mistakes—because no creative journey is clean. Jason also gets candid (and funny) about dating a white girl, with plenty of playful banter along the way.The episode wraps with a rapid-fire question round that hits hard: favorite streetwear brands, the eternal pho vs. bún bò Huế debate, quarter-length socks versus no-shows, and his top three places to eat in Phoenix. Witty, funny, and full of personality, this episode feels like chilling with a friend who’s building something real—and having fun doing it.Be sure to check out Jason and his brand, Nguyen Dynasty Co. at the links below:📸 Jason's Instagram: @whothephuc📸 Nguyen Dynasty's Instagram: @nguyendynastyco🌐 NguyenDynasty.co🙂 And don't forget to snag your Walmak gear at ⁠AlwaysWalmak.com⁠✌️ And follow me on IG at: ⁠walmak⁠.podcast-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tập 16: Jason Nguyễn – Streetwear và Di sản của "Nguyen Dynasty"Cuộc trò chuyện thoải mái với Jason (Phúc Hữu) Nguyễn — doanh nhân sáng tạo đứng sau thương hiệu Nguyen Dynasty Co tại Phoenix.
