We will be in the trenches with our battle buddy Josea. A guy of Indonesian descent, that served the red, white and blue. He is one of the realest people I know, and once you hear his origin story, you can’t help but feel the same. Josea and I both share the love of people and it is apparent in his everyday life. His genuineness is one of his token characteristics. Having a great sense of humor, humility and courage, he is definitely more than meets the eye.
Don’t let his physique and rugged exterior fool you. He is one lovable teddy bear and the world is definitely a better place with this fella around. That’s not to say he hasn’t had his share of trials and pain (whether fair or unfair, ill let you be the judge), but his raw personality offers a unique perspective on what an Indonesian American looks like.

Memoirs of Pursuing Success
We will be soaking in some knowledge from Andrew. This is the lost episode from 2022. At the time of recording, he was a student at University of Michigan studying Business. He is super chill, but an extreme go-getter. Andrew is someone I would consider to be super brilliant and it shows BUT he is super humble about it. I admire him for his passion for success and the discipline it takes to achieve goals and dreams.
To sum up this episode, we will be talking about that very discipline needed to overcome challenges and pursue success as well as whether or not learning Bahasa, the native language of Indonesia, is essential to an Indonesian American. You will definitely want to hear his recommendations and honestly philosophy on growth and discipline.

Im proud to call him a friend who sticks closer than a brother, and its great to just sit and talk with him on a regular basis because I know he’s willing to listen and share in the struggles, triumphs and all the unique situations life puts us in.
I personally admire Pearson because as much as he is a city boy, he has learned to love the small town life and that is what we will be discussing today.

Memoirs of a Team Player
In this episode,
ill be asking one of my closest and best friends Averil on how he is the most supportive person I’ve ever met, a great team player in life you could say.
To shine a little background on Averil, he is always willing to help people, he is quite humble when it comes to serving others and being a genuine have-your-back kinda guy.
