Send us a text

#032: Michael Wu is a co-host of the Badass Asian Dudes Podcast / Community and software engineer at Stripe. Taiwanese-American brother from Silicon Valley who went to fulfill his dreams of living and working in Japan, learning the language and eating all the sushi he can find. Cooking dope food, throwing dope parties, and living the dream. 

In part 1 of this 2-part chat, we talk about: 

• What it means to be a Badass Asian Dude 
• Getting a lot out of giving to a community as a leader 
• We compare our experiences growing up as Asian Americans (a little history on Taiwanese immigration to California) 
• We talk about our parents’ struggles as immigrants and how fortunate our generation is 
• The power and joy of cooking for oneself and others, finding independence 
• Being gracious toward our parents!
