How Do Cultural Values Shape (and Sometimes Sabotage) Success? w/ John Wang
from Roots to Routes with Anand Dattani · host Anand Dattani
Ever felt like you're living two lives? One shaped by the culture you were born into, and the other by the world you're trying to thrive in? I sit down with John Wang, speaker, entrepreneur and the creator of Big Asian Energy, to explore the silent tension of bicultural identity, especially for Asian and Asian-American communities. We discuss: - The heavy burden of growing up in a traditional household of high expectations - The unspoken cost of politeness - The 7 cultural habits holding many Asians back in their careers - What it takes to redefine success on your own terms - and some real-life shocking stories of how far some Asian Americans have gone to uphold the expectations of their family and community If you've ever felt caught between 2 worlds, struggled to speak up or felt like you don't quite belong in the workplace or society you're living in - this convo is going to speak directly to you.
