YOUR DEAD ANCIENT ANCESTORS HAVE BEEN WAITING THOUSANDS OF YEARS FOR YOU TO REALIZE THERE IS A SLEEPING DRAGON INSIDE OF YOUYOU NEED TO BE THE ONE TO AWAKEN IT TODAY#072: I usually describe this podcast as a show about Asian diaspora overcoming identity struggle to become the best versions of ourselves. The tagline is something I’ve revised over the past several years. But I realize, there needs to be a purpose or a vision.This is my current vision:The ultimate self-actualization of all Asian diaspora brothers and sisters worldwide, to raise the level of consciousness of the peoples of Asia, and thus consciousness for all humanity.We want one million Asian diaspora to dedicate themselves to improvement in every human metric, be it physical, financial, mental, cultural, creative, and so on.At least one million. It starts with you, one. Then there are 10 of us, then1 00, then 1000, then 10,000 and then 100,000. It’ll just take TIME. MAIM TIME.Support the show

Merry Christmas, Good Will to All Men!This year, Santa Claus has a very special gift for you.No, it's not a shiny new Macbook or a super car, a mansion or a six-star luxury trip to Paris.This is the gift of... COMPETITION.It means you have to compete with everyone else in the planet to get all the good things in life that you truly desire.If you understand this, and you give it your all, you will succeed -- and you won't need me or anyone else to get you any gift. You can buy that Macbook, that super car, that mansion and that trip yourself.But here's the catch: Now that the cat's out of the bag -- yes, my big red sack -- and Pandora's Box is open, there will no longer be NICE and NAUGHTY lists going forward.There are just WINNERS, and LOSERS.Compete, and become a winner.But what if you're a loser?You don't want to face the harsh reality of life and take the necessary actions to become the best version of yourself?GET F'KED.HO HO HO!

CUNSOOM MAIM TIME on your podcast player of choice... and YouTube!#067: "Be the hero of your own story."Nobody's going to take charge of your life but you. No one can be the hero of your own journey, but you. You write your own story. You're not the mistakes of your past. You're not all your failures.Anybody can do this. Even if you don't get your ultimate dream of what you want, you open up doors for something else. You can be proud and have satisfaction in who you are and what you're doing.Struggle is an essential part to your journey in life. Without struggle or challenge, it's meaningless. Overcoming yourself and obstacles is the great reward in and of itself.Never give up. You can do it.See, I'm living proof. In spite of all challenges in my life, I'm doing it. I'm working. I'm becoming disciplined. I'm becoming more focused. I'm getting better everyday.Again, anyone can choose to turn their life around. Doesn't mean you'll be a billionaire, a famous artist or this and that. But the journey itself is rewarding and valuable, rich in lessons, pride, glory, and happiness. Fulfillment is there for all. If I can do it, so can you.YouTube video: Joe Rogan - Motivational Video [Be a Hero]Support the show

Peace and prosperity, industry, technology, culture, finance, art, music, spirituality, adventure.If the First Renaissance took place in Europe from the 14th to the 17th century, then is the Second Renaissance -- Trinaissance? -- taking place in Asia? This is the Asian Century. If you're Asian, if you're diaspora, there's never been a better time to be alive, with more opportunities for success, fulfillment, impact, growth, evolution. What about your Personal Renaissance?The rebirth of your heart, mind, and soul?I've experienced several rebirths in my life.From being damned to being baptized and saved as a believer in Christ.To losing my faith entirely and surrendering to nihilism.To starting a new life in Korea to find myself and build a new identity.To starting a new career as a copywriter & podcaster, to fulfill the purpose of my life.From paradigm to paradigm.If you're reading this, if you can understand this, then you know what it means.

I can work almost anywhere in the world if I so choose! Doesn't mean I'm leaving Korea anytime soon, but it's awesome to know that I can do it if I want.I'm that much closer to living that "4-Hour Workweek" ideal. Not that I'd only work 4 hours, but that I'd have the freedom to do whatever I want with my time.I'm able to get paid more doing something I'm interested in and good at, which is writing content and ads for blockchain/crypto projects, whitepapers, e-commerce products & services, see the back-end of interesting businesses and industries, and so on.I'll have way more time and resources to devote to MAIM TIME!

Please support with a cheeky sub and like! ;)#059: Last month, I finished this book called Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz, thanks to a recommendation from Hamza Unfiltered's YouTube channel. This is arguably one of the best books I've come across in my personal journey, IF NOT THE BEST.This is THE OG book on self-development, psychology, self-actualization. The more and more I think about it, the more I wish I had come across this book 10 years ago. It contains the most important secret for self-actualization and success, living a fulfilled life, and being the best version of yoruself."Well, Maim, spill the means. Secret? What's mean?"BIGGEST SPOILER OF LIFE: More than any other book or concept, the idea of the self-image - believing in yourself - is fundamental to all success. I believe this now more than ever.Any success I've had in my life up until now, including learning Korean and becoming socially apt and all the growth I've experienced today -- has perfectly adhered to the principles in this book. Let me tell you, I cannot shut up about this book. THANK YOU DR. MAXWELL MALTZ!SELF-IMAGE DETERMINES YOUR ATTITUDE, WHICH DETERMINES YOUR ACTIONS, YOUR BEHAVIOR, YOUR DESTINY!More than ever I realize, self-talk, self-belief is the most important thing.If you believe that you're dumb, then you'll act dumb to prove to the world that you're dumb.If you think you're too dumb to know your own mother tongue, then you are.If you think you're fat, you'll act in ways to prove to the world you're fat.If you believe you're worthless, you'll behave in a self-sabotaging way.That's what I've done for most of my whole life.NO MORE!I'm believing  in myself 100%! I AM THE BEST!NO ONE HAS OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES THAT I HAVE.Anything that I thought was once impossible for me, I OVERCAME IT.I SUCCEEDED BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS.How? I BELIEVED IN MYSELF!That's how it all starts.BELIEVING IN YOURSELF!!!IF I CAN DO ITSO CAN YOU!!!What are you waiting for?Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz (BEST SELF-HELP BOOK!)Dr. Maxwell Maltz (Psycho Cybernetics) Full Interview@6:18 Dr. Maltz' Interpretation for Salvador Dali's Painting (the artwork for this episode)Hamza's Summary on Psycho-CyberneticsMAIM TIME #058 | A Perfect Vision for Your Future Perfect SelfSupport the show

You fail, it's fine!Learn as much as you can. You can learn from everyone, everything.아이 빌리브 아이 캔 플라이 (Hard)You can find joy in just doing laundry, in every little thing you do.Find something that relieves your stress, whatever works for you.If you want to change, find your BIGGEST DEMON... YOURSELF. You really have to know yourself.The hardest thing is to know yourself, admit the dark things about yourself, in order to change.If you're not a homeless person in the street with a serious mental disorder... if you're able to listen to this podcast, you have all the opportunity to change your life, to learn and grow and be happy and live a fulfilling life! This is the most amazing time to be alive!Failure is okay. Don't be afraid to fail. Learn from your failures. You're failing cause you're trying.The beauty of this era: When you wanted to build something, it used to take 10 years. Now in this day, with the Internet, you can do it in 3 years.What used to take 10 years, you can do in 3. THAT'S AMAZING! You can fail 100 times!!!You have more chances and opportunities than ever! Go out there. DO IT!It's not how much you make. It's how much you keep.Samy loves America. Samy went to America with NOTHING. He built his life from NOTHING. He's not even that rich (or so he says!!) but he has a nice place, drives a nice car, flies wherever he wants. So if he can do it, so can you! America still has lots of opportunities. It's the land of opportunity. You can be whoever you want in America. Samy's opinion 😉To Asian minorities like us: People might pick on you if you're different, but that's cause they're afraid. Love yourself. Just being Asian is awesome. Somebody says something bad to you? It's cause they're scared of you. Being a foreigner, you're already better, because you're of two cultures. It takes a lot to learn two or more cultures.Don't be afraid to put yourself out there, live your life. Time never comes back. Life is beautiful. Love the process. Everything can be yours. You can be whatever you want to. You can do it. Just do it. It's normal to feel down at times. You're not a machine, it's human. I have those feelings too. You can do whatever you wanna do.Don't compare yourself to others. You're unique as a person. Love yourself.Everyone has the opportunity to become the best version of themselves.Reach out to Samy on:Samy's Instaor his emailSupport the show
#056: How many Asian brothers or sisters do you know that grew up in Latin America speaking Spanish, and then immigrated to the US to KILL IT and live a life of freedom? Samy is the mfkin gawd of recycling metals, m8. Here we have a dope convo with a brother from another mother, my Korean-Bolivian brotha Samy living it up in Cali!We talk about our parents sacrificing to take us from Korea (Asia) to the other side of the world (North and South America).Samy shares about his struggles growing up in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Samy's a fighter, and a talker. He wouldn't take sheeeeeiiit from no one!But then when he was 23 his parents kicked him out and sent his ass to study in America without knowing English or having any skills LOLWhile I take English being my first language for granted, Samy mentions he wishes he could have learned English when he was a teenager. If you're Asian-American or a native English-speaking Asian cause your parents took you to another country, consider yourself privileged and fortunate!MAJOR SETBACKS that can feel like the END OF THE FKIN WORLD and make you feel WORTHLESS and like a FAILURE... are all important opportunities to learn and grow from. It's natural, it's human, and it's gawdly to be able to learn and recover, live your life, and take action to do better going forward!Just another great story of life showing that life is all about UPs and DOWNs.FREEDOM IS PRICELESS! If you're gonna work a corporate job, try to work in a good industry or a good company that'll give you freedom to do what you want after you provide results.MONEY ALWAYS GOIN' BE MADE! You need to be happy, you need to love what you're doing.Today's not gonna come back. You have to enjoy the process.Reach out to Samy on:Samy's Instaor his emailSupport the show

LFG!No matter how HARD last year was, or how much life sucks, just remember...

#054: Time for a personal reflection! How was 2021 for you? Was it easy or HARD? Did you make a lot of money? Did you lose a lot of money?For me, this has been one of the hardest years of my life. Almost a year ago, I injured myself working out. I stopped working for 4 months. I burned through my savings. Got personal family issues. And with my injury, I'm still not 100%. But I'm okay. Things could be much worse!Looking BACK at this BACK injury, and the ensuing 4-month hiatus forced me to take things slow, to take care of myself, and prioritize what's important to me.I learned a lot. Although this was a painful, difficult year in many ways, I was able to LEARN SO MUCH and excel and achieve and finish strong by the end.This may have been the most important year of personal growth thus far. In that respect, it was a great year.No matter what, I can look back at my past, I can see how far I've come.No matter how bad things get, it's never the end of the world.Thankfully, the past few months have been great. I'm excited for a great 2022!Thank you! Happy New Year to you!Support the show
