What time is it? MAIM TIME! A show about overcoming the Asian diaspora identity struggle and Self-Actualization. We go DEEP & HARD into important topics: dealing with our identity struggles, intergenerational trauma with our families, reconciling different cultures, spirituality and religion after church, building confidence in dating, enterprise, and creative pursuits, and so on... to get closer to realizing our full potential!

The Fighting Spirit of Kyokushin Karate with Sogyel Lhungay
This conversation is with a special guest, my karate sensei: Sogyel Lhungay. He has 2 decades of Kyokushin Karate experience. His is a story that bridges heritage, identity, and the martial arts way. We talk about his life story and where his family comes from, his relationship with his Tibetan roots, and how he thinks about identity as an Asian American today.
Sogyel shares how he first got into martial arts, why Kyokushin became his passion, and what he believes its greatest value is both inside and outside the dojo. Our conversation opens up to bigger questions: what we want to get out of life, how to live meaningfully in light of the heritage we’ve inherited, and how to make the most of the opportunities we have today.
We also share a message for other Tibetan and Asian minority brothers and sisters who may feel lost in their journey—offering perspective, encouragement, and the fighting spirit to keep moving forward. Osu!
