It's not every day you see two grown Asian American men unpack their generational trauma.

Today, we're joined by John Chen, Founder & President at ABOUND Education and Life Coach, as he and Alex dive deep into a raw, vulnerable, and insightful conversation (and a mini impromptu LIVE coaching session) about their experiences, struggles, and lessons learned as Asian American sons of immigrant parents.
