Karho Leung is a former accountant and founder of 12Pell. Karho's desire for entrepreneurship allowed him to break the mold which he refers to as the âAsian American Narrative,â an upbringing that defines success through one's ability to thrive in white-collar careers. After leaving the suit and tie behind, Karho's inspiration is to lead and encourage others to challenge their cultural norms of success - his passion for serving the AAPI community has made him a keynote speaker at corporate speaking engagements, panels, and round tables to represent the community of young Asian American millennials and Gen Z.
After founding 12Pell 4 years ago, the business has expanded to two retail locations and a member's house. 12Pell's quick rise in media has earned itself a title as "the barbershop with the largest social media presence" in the nation. The business has recently formed a media arm that is focused on leading a new generational voice for men's grooming and education. As 12 Pell clients and viewers like to say, a visit to 12Pell is synonymous with "crying tears of joy" or "being blessed."

Vince Xu is a first-generation Chinese-Taiwanese American based in Los Angeles where he works as a lawyer who represents victims of catastrophic injuries and families that have experienced a wrongful death. Prior to his legal career, Vince made a name for himself as a serial entrepreneur. He started an innovative nightlife promotions company, co-founded an international leadership camp, and co-founded a national hot sauce brand.
But even more notably, Vince joins us today as a reality tv star who was cast as the first ever Asian male âbachelorâ in the new reality dating show âThe One That Got Awayâ now streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Freevee.
Although there have been other Asian men that have been cast on reality dating shows, Vince is not cast in the typical role where weâve seen other Asian men before. But rather, Vince is one of the main leads of the show whose journey we get to watch unfold as he dates and eliminates girls that have come from his past to take their shot at love with him â think a missed connection from high school or even a girl you flirted with one night at a bar.
However, whatâs also incredibly groundbreaking about Vinceâs journey is that you see him date girls from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds and witness firsthand how he navigates different cultural barriers that often arise in interracial dating.

Bonnie Cheung Sarkissian is the Owner and Founder of By Bonnie Jewelry, a luxury diamond jewelry boutique, located in the San Francisco Bay Area. As an Asian American immigrant, female entrepreneur, and working mother, she sees the world through a wide lens and finds the industry to be male-dominated and lacking a feminine touch.
In her words-- "Luxury is supposed to be about how a product or service makes you feel. That's what's missing in the big-box retail sector. We focus on every single detail, from the craftsmanship and engineering of our jewelry, to how it makes a person feel when they put it on. Whether itâs a gift from a loved one, an engagement ring, or a âtreat yourselfâ moment, that single piece of jewelry is part of a person's journey that they can take with them throughout the rest of their lives. By taking people's stories, inspirations, energy and mixing it with my passion for diamonds and meticulous craftsmanship... that's what makes By Bonnie's pieces so unique."

Today, the company is valued at $100M and employs a staff of 50, 80% of whom are BIPOC, female, and/or LGBTQ+; a metric Taing is particularly proud of.
In his spare time, Danny is an avid rock climber, fierce board game competitor, and anime binge-watcher.

John Lim is the 27 yr old CEO and Founder of Ugly LLC, an indie game studio producing niche-specific cult classic card games such as the best selling Asian American party game line AZN FLUSH, and the ultimate game to inspire the best high conversations, Puff Puff Pass. John, who is the son of South Korean immigrants, was born and raised in Maryland. Growing up, John didn't have many Asian friends and at one point he remembers feeling profoundly unlucky to have been born Asian. He had what he calls his âAsian Awakeningâ in college thanks to an Asian student association. Upon graduating college, he went through a phase of not knowing what to do with his life, which was compounded by the pressure from his mother to get a "real job." He moved to Korea for a year as a way to get closer to his roots and to buy time. He taught English to make ends meet. Eventually he moved onto digital marketing, but he couldn't kick this urge to launch his own business, much to his motherâs chagrin. Always a fan of card games and drinking games because it gave him an easy way to connect with others, in 2018 John decided to give it a go and he created a game for other Asian Americans like him with just $500. Having sold tens of thousands of games, AZN Flush is now the best-selling game for Asian Americans. John has generated close to 3 million through his games since launching in 2018.

Heâs recurred on Amazonâs Too Old To Die Young and Jean Claude Van Johnson, Apple TV+âs Mythic Quest, among others.
Chris has written and directed digital series to pilots, but his feature film directorial debut, Dinner Party, is far more personal. He wanted to tell the story of a group of diverse friends, not dissimilar to his experience, that has to grapple with the changing of their current times, where issues of race, gender equality, classism have come to the forefront of the modern conversation. His aim for this film is to help facilitate that dialogue even further, showing that there is always more than one side to a story and that we can become a beacon of positive change if we so choose to be. As a person of color, itâs an honor for Chris Naoki Lee to depict such a diverse ensemble on screen with these incredible collaborators on Dinner Party. It truly takes a village.

A wildly innovative producer, artist, and songwriter fusing melodic electronic dance music with pop, blues, rock, and other genres, Elephante (American musical artist Tim Wu) is living what many people might call âThe American Dreamâ. As the son of Taiwanese immigrants, his Asian-American upbringing in Michigan was unique and sometimes isolating. He graduated from Harvard University and entered corporate America at a top global consultant firm....and HATED it, so he addressed his unhappiness â âthe elephant in the roomâ â and pursued his passion in music. To date, heâs garnered hundreds of millions of streams across his two indie EPs: I Am The Elephante (2016), a nine-track exploration of progressive house, synthpop and trap; and Glass Mansion (2018), which shot to #1 on iTunes! U.S. Dance chart. His upcoming project, Heavy Glow, represents his first full-length studio album, a largely solo effort further pushing the boundaries of dance music, featuring the debut single, "High Water.â Elephante has headlined two sold-out national tours, played nightlife residencies including those at Hard Rock and Wynn Las Vegas, and appeared at major music festivals such as Lollapalooza, EDC Las Vegas, and Electric Zoo.

Welcome to episode 100 of the Asian Hustle Network Podcast and our final episode of season 1! We are very excited to have our AHN team member and AHN Uplifted Book author, Geena Chen on this week's episode.
We interview Asian entrepreneurs around the world to amplify their voices and empower Asians to pursue their dreams and goals. We believe that each person has a message and a unique story from their entrepreneurial journey that they can share with all of us.

This is our opportunity to use the voices of the Asian community and share these incredible stories with the world. We release a new episode every Wednesday, so stay tuned!
Geena Chen is the author of the first Asian Hustle Network book, Uplifted, which collects intimate recountings from Asian American entrepreneurs about how and why they started their businesses. A first-time author and rusty writer, Geena eventually quit her job at a recycling startup to focus on crafting Uplifted full time. Over the year that followed, she hired a storytelling coach, marshaled her self-education around writing, and rewrote the book 4 times, while exploring her own relationship to hustling and being Asian American. When it launched on Kickstarter, Uplifted reached its $10,000 funding goal in less than 24 hours with the support of the community (and so far sits around $24K - there are 2 days left!).
Geena trained in spoken word poetry and mechanical engineering at Stanford University, and she considers herself an independent operator working on projects she believes in. She spent most of her career in the circular economy, leading teams of engineers and designers across Taiwan and Europe. Together, they turned single-use plastic cups into furniture, plastic toys into restaurant trays, and old textiles into renewed textiles for the world's largest consumer brands. One minute she would sit on Zoom calls like a corporate square and the next moment she would be exuberantly dumpster diving for materials. For her, shapeshifting and contradiction are the spice of life.

Rango Le built a successful real estate company from scratch in the Seattle / Bellevue WA area. With only $500 dollars in his pocket, no college education, no startup money, no partner. Rango was able to get his real estate company to a $4 million a year company.
His company, Warring Properties / Century 21, was the leading minority-owned and most diverse real estate company in WA State, with 125 agents on their roster and managing 3 office locations.
He also successfully developed, built, and sold high-end residential properties in Seattle's Premier neighborhoods. He has a true rag to riches story, from fleeing war-torn Vietnam in the middle of the night on a small rickety fishing boat to overcoming poverty living in the Low-Income Seattle Housing Projects.
Rangoâs latest passion is a podcast / YouTube show called, âBlessed Boatersâ. The show talks about what it's like to flee Vietnam as a refugee and the ups and downs of trying to obtain the American dream, turning pain into power.

The U.S. agriculture industry is constantly evolving as technological innovations continue to change the way we cultivate food, and shift consumersâ attitudes on the importance of eating fresh and organic produce. Recently, indoor vertical farming has further proven its potential to support communities with hyper-locally grown produce while being rich in nutrients and taste.
The first thing Hiroki Koga instantly noticed when he moved to the United States from Japan â where fruit such as strawberries are a delicacy â is that produce in the U.S. is less flavorful than what he was accustomed to growing up in Japan since the U.S. agriculture industry prioritizes yield and shelf life over taste and nutrition.
Since then, Hiroki has made it his mission to bring the finest Japanese strawberries to the U.S. consumer market and founded Oishii â the company behind the worldâs largest indoor vertical strawberry farm and the Omakase Berry â in 2016 while he was pursuing his MBA at the University of California, Berkeley.
With Hirokiâs leadership and knowledge of ancient Japanese farming techniques, Oishii is the only player in the industry to produce pollinated fruit using AI and machine learning technologies at a commercial scale â considered the most sophisticated crops to grow indoors because of long cultivation cycles â while using zero pesticides to produce perfectly ripe, delicious strawberries year-round for consumers.

As teenagers, kung fu disciples Danny (Alain Uy), Hing (Ron Yuan) and Jim (Mykel Shannon Jenkins) were inseparable. Fast forward 25 years, and each has grown into a washed-up middle-aged man seemingly one kick away from pulling a hamstringâand not at all preoccupied with thoughts of martial arts or childhood best friends. But when their old master is murdered, the trio reunites, soon learning that avenging their sifu will require conquering old grudges (and a dangerous hitman still armed with ample knee cartilage) if they are to honorably defend his legacy.
Tran Quoc Bao | Writer/Director/Editor
Mentored early on by master action director Corey Yuen, Bao was instilled with an approach to action that doesnât rely solely on spectacle, but also draws on story and character. Screen Anarchy praised his written-and-directed short Bookie for its âflawlessly realized world populated by entirely fleshed out and believable characters, driven by a compelling narrative and brought to sumptuous life.â He has since traveled back to his homeland of Vietnam to work as a feature film editor. His editing credits include Cho Lon, one of Southeast Asiaâs highest-budgeted action blockbusters, and Jackpot, a heartfelt comedy selected as Vietnamâs official entry to the 2016 Oscars for Best Foreign Film. Ainât It Cool News enthusiastically declared Bao as âa director I expect to see big things from.

In 2016, Jon left his comfortable tech job working for a billionaire tech mogul to creatively design a life/career he had dreamed of(all while his wife was pregnant with their first child).

Born and raised on Oahu, Ryan has always been a local boy at heart. Moving away in 2006 to attend community college in Orange County, eventually transferring to USC he always knew he'd be back some day. After graduating, he worked in advertising with the eventual goal to pursue a media sales position until he was called by his parents to see if he was interested in learning the family business. This decision was not easy knowing the pressure to prove his worth at a company that had grown quite a bit since he left home, but he knew this would be an opportunity worthwhile should he be able to succeed. Like many sons/daughters in my shoes, entering a family business started by his parents, there is little structure when it comes to training and plenty of "constructive criticism". In addition to the pressures of proving himself, there are the complicated aspects of family dynamics that come into play, sometimes resulting in an absence of professionalism. All in all, he finds himself fortunate having the opportunity to carry on his family's legacy contributing a fresh perspective, while also honoring the vision his parents have in mind.

Plans of becoming a doctor were suddenly thrown off course when Dominic failed the MCAT - and if you could fail while going the âsafeâ route, you might as well fail while doing what you love.
With that in mind, Dominic booked a one-way ticket from Madison to Los Angeles to pursue acting. He managed to land a gig as Tang Weiâs acting coach for a film in Hong Kong...but even that dream was short-lived, ending just a couple of weeks into the job.
Taking things in stride, Dominic turned his side hustle as an SEO strategist into a full-time remote job while traveling to over 30 countries - reading, learning, experiencing. Heâs now the founder and CEO of a multi-million dollar marketing agency, and a Forbes 30 Under 30 recipient. An unconventional path, to say the least...but it worked out. And by sharing life and career advice with the next generation of graduates, Dominic hopes to use his platform and experience to encourage them to chase after what they want.

âAndy Nguyen is the mash-up king in the food industry.â - Food Network
He co-founded Afters Ice Cream and has reshaped the millennial age F&B industry. With 20 locations in Southern California (and more to come), Afters Ice Cream has been both an entrepreneurial and social media phenomenon with thousands of people turning up for their store openings/events. And thatâs only one of the many restaurant concepts Andy and his team have started, to spice up the new dining and lifestyle scene!
But Andy's journey to ice cream-filled donut success wasn't easy... Like many entrepreneurs, Andy and school didn't get along so well, and he was quickly bored with his first "real" jobs.
After a dozen-plus year of struggle including adventures in real estate, re-selling sneakers, and Coachella VIP vendor, Andy founded a world-wide clothing brand, several food ventures, and a consulting agency, too. He has even started his own non-profit, Passion Chasers, to help the next generation of dreamers find their own entrepreneurial spark.
Andy's story from the inside, including how he uses brand awareness and storytelling to appeal to future brand builders of their own. His influence and goals of helping improve the food scene and pumping new life into other cities. It's his unorthodox approach and insights into modern branding, marketing, and how to get your grind on; that has set him apart from the rest.
