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!

Don’t miss Chinese Republicans, a new play from Alex Lin!
Coming to the Roundabout Theatre Company this winter, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Alex Lin, directed by Chay Yew, following three high-powered businesswomen who meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.
