EP. 96 – Discipline Creates Safety w/ Jeffrey Shih | The Patty Show
What do Dungeons & Dragons, Meta leadership, and decades in tech have in common? In Episode 96 of The Patty Show, Patty sits down with fellow Meta teammate (Metamate), community leader, and longtime friend Jeffrey Shih for a conversation about discipline, identity, leadership, and the routines that keep us grounded through life's constant changes. Jeffrey has spent nearly three decades building a career around solving problems, supporting teams, and becoming the person people trust when things get complicated. From the early days of the internet to his current role as a Client Solutions Manager at Meta, Jeff has seen technology evolve while staying consistent in one thing: showing up, helping others, and finding solutions. But this conversation goes far beyond tech. Jeff shares stories about growing up Asian American, his college journey at UC Davis, his involvement in the AAPI community, and how his love for Dungeons & Dragons unexpectedly became part of his personal story. Patty and Jeff dive into the power of routines, why discipline can create safety instead of restriction, and how returning to the basics can help us navigate uncertain seasons of life. This episode is a reminder that success isn't just about achievements or titles. It's built through consistency, curiosity, relationships, and the people who help hold the community together. Whether you're building a career, leading a team, searching for balance, or simply trying to become a better version of yourself, Jeffrey's journey offers lessons on staying grounded while continuing to grow.

EP. 95 – Confidence Is a Practice w/ Paul Ray | The Patty Show
This episode was filmed in the legendary Griffith Park area of Los Angeles—a place with deep creative history and open public spirit, originally gifted in 1896 by Colonel Griffith J. Griffith as a free space for the “plain people” of the city. That energy fits this conversation perfectly. Patty sits down with actor Paul Ray—not just a guest, but a real connection from set—and talks about what it actually takes to build a sustainable career in entertainment. Paul shares how he tried to go full-time as an actor four different times before it finally worked, and how he’s now been consistently working for over a year across films, commercials, UGC campaigns, indie projects, and music videos. From Austin, Texas to Los Angeles, this is a conversation about persistence, identity, and learning to trust the process when success doesn’t happen immediately. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This episode includes adult language and discussions about rejection, persistence, and the realities of the entertainment industry.

What does it take to reinvent yourself while staying true to who you are? This week on The Patty Show, I'm joined by my mentor, friend, and fellow performance enthusiast, Kris Clinton. Kris has built an incredible life through discipline, adaptability, and service. A former professional basketball player who competed throughout Europe and South America, Kris later transitioned into the worlds of personal training, acting, modeling, and entrepreneurship. Today, he coaches elite athletes, mentors fitness professionals, books national commercial campaigns, and continues to pursue excellence while raising his daughter. But this conversation isn't about collecting accomplishments. It's about the mindset required to keep evolving.

Rest isn’t weakness. It’s strategy. This week on The Patty Show, Patty sits down with Indonesian filmmaker and cinematographer Joyfiana Venessa Suryakusuma for a thoughtful, culture-rich conversation about reclaiming rest in a world obsessed with hustle.

From leading deep learning research at the University of Michigan to training in alpinism, his mindset is about elevation — intellectually and physically.

From packed shows and a rockband lifestyle to becoming a father, moving to the U.S., and leading high-impact projects for companies like Meta, Google, Amazon, Tesla, and more — Robin has had to learn balance the hard way. This conversation goes deep. We talk about: Life in Bali and Indonesia in the early 2000s The transition from music stages to tech boardrooms Choosing what to say yes and no to as ambition grows Fatherhood, identity, and redefining success Why rest is not weakness — it’s strategy Navigating health, burnout, and reinvention (including Robin’s “New Me” journey managing Type II diabetes) How to protect joy, creativity, and purpose in a nonstop world Robin brings wisdom shaped by experience — not hustle culture fluff. This episode is for anyone chasing big dreams while trying to stay human, healthy, and present. If you’ve ever felt: Torn between passion and responsibility Burned out but still ambitious Like you’ve lived multiple lives already This one’s for you. 🌀 Share your balance tips with #PattyBalance 🎉 Join the Patty Party 📸 @pattyshowpodcast 💪 @pattysetiadifitness

EP. 73 – The Power of Playing w/ Emiko Saraswati Susilo | The Patty Show
What happens when play, culture, and creativity collide on a global stage? In this episode of The Patty Show, I sit down with the legendary Emiko Saraswati Susilo — actor, singer, dancer, voice artist, cultural consultant, and all-around creative force whose work spans Disney, PlayStation, the United Nations, Calm, Swarovski, and beyond. We talk about how Emiko turned Balinese dance, Southeast Asian identity, and joy-driven creativity into a global career — and why play isn’t something we outgrow, but something we forget to protect. From voice acting and cultural consulting to movement, storytelling, and self-expression, this conversation is full of insight, laughter, and perspective. We also rewind to how we met while co-starring in an Indonesian short film, where she played my wife and I was aged up into a 65-year-old retired lawyer (yes, really). Despite the heavy themes on screen, the chemistry, play, and off-camera laughs made it one unforgettable creative weekend. If you’re a creative, an artist navigating identity, or someone looking to bring more play, movement, and freedom back into your life — this episode is for you. 👇 Join the Patty Party & connect with me: @pattyshowpodcast | @pattysetiadifitness

Your body is the first home you ever live in — and how you treat it shapes your confidence, leadership, and sense of purpose. In this powerful and personal episode, Patty reconnects with Pejay Lucky, a longtime mentor and foundational figure from his college years. Pejay played a major role in Patty’s development during his time in residence life and student leadership, offering guidance during pivotal moments of growth, heartbreak, and self-discovery. Together, they reflect on their work with Distinguished Gentlemen, a student organization centered on healthy masculinity through three core pillars: Justice, Unity, and Discipline. From the Annual Women’s Appreciation Dinner to domestic violence awareness initiatives and leadership programming, they discuss how those experiences shaped their values and continue to influence their lives today. Pejay shares his evolution toward treating the body not as something to punish or “fix,” but as a sanctuary — a place deserving of care, gratitude, and discipline rooted in love rather than shame. The conversation expands into faith, resilience, identity, and what it means to lead with integrity. Now serving as Assistant Dean for Student Success at Fairfield University’s Bellarmine Campus, Pejay also speaks about his work mentoring students and his growing initiative focused on guiding men toward purpose, accountability, and wholeness. He opens up about fatherhood, marriage, community building in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and the role faith in Christ plays in his life. Topics include: Healthy masculinity and leadership Faith, discipline, and self-respect Navigating heartbreak and personal growth Body gratitude and self-care Mentorship, education, and legacy This episode is a reminder that strength isn’t just physical — it’s emotional, spiritual, and lived out daily through how we care for ourselves and others. 👇 Join the Patty Party & connect with me: @pattyshowpodcast | @pattysetiadifitness #YourBodyYourSanctuary #HealthyMasculinity #Mentorship #FaithAndWellness #LeadershipDevelopment #SelfRespect #ThePattyShow

EP. 69 – Flexibility Is Freedom
Flexibility isn’t just about stretching your body—it’s about learning how to move through life without breaking. In this New Year’s episode of The Patty Show, I sit down with a former Division I athlete turned engineer whose life has been shaped by movement, culture, and adaptability. With roots spanning Barcelona and Madagascar, fluency across multiple languages, and experiences that stretch far beyond the court, this conversation explores what it really means to stay flexible—physically, mentally, and emotionally. We talk about letting go of rigid expectations after competitive sports, rediscovering joy in movement by running without a watch, and how learning to adapt has opened doors in career, travel, and identity. From elite athletics to engineering, from structured training to intuitive living, this episode is about bending with life instead of fighting it. If you’ve ever felt stuck, burned out, or overly attached to “the plan,” this conversation is a reminder that freedom often lives on the other side of flexibility. ✨ New year. New mindset.

n this Christmas episode, I sit down with someone who’s been family to me since Fairfield University — Alex Jeffrey. Alex isn’t just strong in the physical sense. He’s the definition of emotional, mental, and spiritual strength… the kind of strength that shows up in how you love, lead, and lift up the people around you. We talk about everything from his cornerback football days in high school, to becoming the man he is today — a dedicated husband, a real estate professional turned Assistant VP at a private bank in NYC, and one of the most genuine supporters I’ve ever had. Alex shares the story of getting married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where I was lucky enough to celebrate with him, Dani, and their incredible families. And yes… we send a big shoutout to his wife Dani, who’s pure sunshine, and to the Jeffrey crew — especially his dad Doug, who had me crying laughing at the wedding with the legendary Jackie Chan joke. We talk discipline, resilience, and why strength is something you build long before you build muscle. Alex reflects on the influence of his two older brothers, the role models who shaped him, and why lifting others up is the real flex. Whether you’re training, healing, rebuilding, or reinventing yourself… this episode reminds you that strength is a journey — and who you become on the way matters most. 👇 Join the Patty Party & connect with me: @pattyshowpodcast | @pattysetiadifitness
