006: Kevin Wu (Kevjumba) - Living a Godlike Life & Life Beyond Youtube
Update: 2017-04-23
Description
In today's episode of Mental Jiujitsu, my guest is a Youtube pioneer and many will recognize him immediately. He started his channel back when Youtube videos first became popular - when his video "I have to deal with stereotypes" was featured on Youtube, he quickly rose in the rankings to become the #1 most subscribed Youtube channel within an extremely short time frame. He's been featured in tv, movies, and film such as Revenge of the Green Dragons, Funemployed, Man Up, Online Nation and Hang Loose with Dante Basco, Justin Chon, and others.
Most notably, he started his own fund called the 'Jumbafund' to build 2 schools in Kenya and shortly thereafter, took a 4 year hiatus from Youtube and video production in 2013.
What most people are probably interested in is, "What happened to him after he left? Did he in fact join a cult?" You're about to find out and a lot more. In this conversation, Kevin's first ever on any podcast, we talk about and discuss many issues that are important to him, including: spirituality, aapi empowerment, living a godly/godlike life, finding appreciation in suffering, the power of human connection and storytelling, why innocence is like a buffet, the insidiousness of fame and power, why you shouldn't text and poop, and his goals and aspirations in comedy.
I actually first met Kevin back in 2011 at an asian-american conference, so it was great seeing how he and I have both grown and matured since that time. He also recently recovered from a debilitating car accident as well, so I'm appreciative that he took the time to speak with me on this episode of Mental Jiujitsu. If you haven't already, you can follow him on facebook at kevjumba or search youtube for him as well. His youtube channel is youtube.com/kevin.
I had a fantastic, mirthful time talking with Kevin, and I hope that you enjoy listening to this conversation between me and Kevjumba aka Kevin Wu as much as I had speaking with him. Enjoy.
