#99 - F*ck Your Feelings & Just Do It with Chris King Wong
OK, here us out. Feelings are important - they're our constant companions and can be a powerful compass and a helpful guide through crazy twists and turns of life. But let's be 100% real, sometimes...they're not the best advisor or the proper captain. When our feelings single-handedly run the show, we can end up in more trouble than needed. We make bad decisions out of fear, confusion, naivete, or bitterness. That's because, at the end of the day, we're all equally prone to being mushy bags of childhood trauma, insecurities, and straight up laziness. So what's a person to do? In this episode Minji sits down with her roommate and friend Chris King Wong who has a refreshing and entertaining zero tolerance approach to cutting the BS and getting things done, feelings be damned. Together they talk about looking at the bigger picture, whether that be relationships or career or lifestyle changes, and the importance of commitment, thoughtful execution, and consistent follow through. If you're a regular human being like all of us at First Of All, that concept is much easier said than done. But at some point we need to hear it and just make things happen. You got this!

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR
"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting. New episodes premiere every Thursday.
