003: Dr. Phat Vu - The Prison of our Emotions, Social Reality, & Sacrifice
Update: 2017-04-11
Description
Dr. Phat Vu is a physics professor among many other things at Soka University of America. As one of the most influential professors I've ever had, I sit down with him to talk about social reality, why our emotions are so strong, the meaning of sacrifice, and a whole slew of other topics.
His research has been featured in many different publications and journals, including Cornell University, Wellesley College, and other institutions. He's an incredible thought provoker and has a great story about his path into professorship.
If I could take a class with him again, I would. Thankfully, I have this episode that I can listen to over and over to refresh my mind on key topics - and I hope that you do the same. I had a great time with this conversation, and I hope you do as well. Enjoy.

Mental Jiujitsu is a podcast about AAPI folk (or Asian-American Pacific Islanders) and how they are shifting the paradigm and changing the current narrative in their work, life story, society, and culture.
Topics include aapi/poc representation in the media, the fleeting nature of human emotion, racism/sexism, physics, health and wellness, minority discrimination with like-groups, etc., among a variety of different topics. The crux of these conversations is to create gentle shifts in people's commonly held perspectives and promote visibility among minority demographics.
