I think Nancy could 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:38.800 work as like as a masculine name, like well, it's 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.920 like well like like actually, I mean there's there's Clancy, 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.959 which is like an extremely masculine name.

Yeah, he's killed a bunch of people. What's up, Nancy? 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.840 How you doing? What can I house? What made you 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:03.440 want to call this phone? 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:06.120 This is crazy. 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:10.800 I'd never thought that I would get here, but I 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:15.520 when I was eavesdrop, I mean daydreaming while I do 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:20.320 quite a lot, I thought about I could tell you 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:25.000 a story of how I was a CEO of a 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.000 small company at an age of nineteen. 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.720 You were the CEO of a company at the age 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:38.400 of nineteen. What kind of company was that? Were you 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:39.960 a drug dealer? 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:48.600 No? So it was actually my dad's company. It was 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:53.520 like a physical therapy machine manufacturing company. 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:57.040 So like there was like heating paths and. 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.920 Like massage chairs, I guess. 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:06.760 And then yeah, and then he suddenly died. Oh, I 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.520 had to take over the company for like a week. 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.480 I'm really sorry to hear about your dad, But also 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:17.960 I have to imagine that a lot of the people 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.480 who worked at that company were a little pissed off 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.120 that the CEO's nineteen year old son was now telling 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:24.840 them what to do. 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:32.080 I mean, yeah, I mean what was I was just. 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:37.760 Trying to, I don't know, just survive. I mean. The 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:44.800 worst thing was my uncle was trying to basically overthrow 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:51.440 me and trying to take over the company and his wife. 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:55.280 So basically my aunt knew that and was scheming with 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.520 basically rest of the family to prevent him from doing that. 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.440 This is the plot. I think this is the plot 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:10.000 of the Lion King, right, this is the plot. Yeah, 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.400 this is the plot of the Lion King. Simba's dad, 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.480 Mufasa dies and so he becomes the king of the 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:22.760 of the massage chair company, and his uncle gets like 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:28.800 really pissed off and jealous and tries to dethrone him. 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:30.760 Yeah, yeah, that's true. 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.599 You live, bro, you lived the Lion King, but for 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.359 massage chairs. 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:40.200 I guess, yeah, I guess I am the massage chair king. 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:41.719 Lion King. 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.559 Yeah, you're the massage chair lion king. So what happened 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:50.039 with your uncle? Did he like, did he banish you? 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:50.279 No? 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:55.360 So actually what happened was I was a CEO and 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.080 then my aunt came up to me and was like, listen, dude, 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.440 this is like your uncle's trying to overthrow the company. 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:05.760 But your dad never thought that he was a good 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:09.800 like a good fit for the CEO, and I don't agree. 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:10.880 Also, so. 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.599 We're going to create a water tight contract so that 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:21.160 he cannot take over the company. So me at nineteen. 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:25.920 By the way, this I like, I'm an American And 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.359 this happened in Indonesia because that's where my dad's business was. 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.240 So I was like jet lagged. 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:36.160 Because I just flew like twelve hours out of freaking 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.760 nowhere all into my. 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.920 Your dad, your dad passes away, and then like how 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.320 soon after you get the news? Are you thrown on 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.120 a plane to Indonesia? 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:49.440 Oh? 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.360 Yeah, like the day after. 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:52.760 That's insane because. 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:56.680 I got I got the call from my sister like, oh, 0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:00.400 by the way, dad died, and the next say, I 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:04.800 flew and then I went there. I don't I don't 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:08.679 know how long signed the plane ride was probably like hours, 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:15.240 and then I got there and then basically his like 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:19.320 biggest shareholder slashed. His mentor who's like seventy years old, 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.960 was basically told me like, by the way, this company 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:28.440 is too small, doesn't have a board, and because this 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:34.920 is a very patriarchal culture, you're the only son, so 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:36.880 you are in charge. 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:38.880 So I was like, what the hell. 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:44.560 So that's how kind of it became that and then 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.479 basically I was like the proxy. My mom made most 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:53.200 of the decision, but I was kind of like the figurehead. 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:53.760 I guess. 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:55.640 Yeah. 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:56.800 So yeah, I. 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.960 Mean that's how most that I think that's how most 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.960 organizations work, is that there's a guy who like is 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:10.080 you know, he's the quote unquote CEO, president, whatever, but 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:15.880 it's really you know, his mom or the shareholders that 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.520 actually make the decisions. 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:23.440 Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's true. Yeah, so that's kind 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.800 of what I told the shareholder to to Like, dude, 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:33.480 I am in college, I don't know any things about business, 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.800 but yeah, so we have to create like a watertight 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:43.000 contract so that my uncle could not take over. And 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.800 then we were also afraid that when he finds out 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.560 the news that he was not going to take over 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.720 the company, which I thought he thought it was guaranteed. 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:56.840 We had to like basically create like a protection system 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.200 for my aunt so he doesn't do anything rational out 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:00.720 of anger. 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:03.840 So yeah, so that's what happened. 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:13.000 Yeah, I I was curious about that, Like, what happened 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.200 with your uncle? Did he did he crash out? Did 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:15.800 he get pissed? 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:17.880 Yeah? 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:21.840 I mean so, so this was kind of the game plan. 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:28.600 The game plan was, we write the contract, we give 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:32.319 it to my aunt with an excuse that the seven 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:36.920 year old shareholder will basically take my place in an excuse. 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.440 That I have to go back to school, blah blah blah. 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:45.720 And and basically like I flew out to basically get 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.400 rid of, like to not be in the mess when 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:53.200 it happened, I just told them to just message me 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:58.520 if shit hits the fan, and all I heard was 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:03.080 all good, So I'm assuming shit did not hit the 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:03.960 fan too much. 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.840 Is your dad Indonesian? Is your family like Indonesian or 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.040 do you guys just like why is the company in Indonesia? 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:13.600 Yeah? 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:18.559 So my family, So, my my ethnicity is Korean. I 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:24.320 am from here, but my dad's family is from Korea. 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:28.200 And I guess, like I don't really know the logistics, 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.920 but I just I think just opening a company and 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:36.760 managing a company was a lot cheaper Indonesia and my 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:41.400 aunt and uncle who I spoke about before, lived there, 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:48.400 so I think just because of like connections and yeah, 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:53.240 just mostly connections and opportunity. I'm assuming he started his 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:58.000 company in Indonesia and he was going through shit too. 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.600 I did not know this, but then like apparently like 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.880 he had like all the right proper visas and everything, 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:10.440 but apparently like police will be waiting outside his house 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.640 waiting for a bribe or if you know, if he 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.600 doesn't bribe them, then they can just deport him. 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.560 So he was going through that too. So it was 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:24.240 a lot were. 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.439 You were you were you close with your dad at 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.439 the time that he passed away? Did you have much 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.280 of a relationship with him? 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.120 So this is kind of the weird thing. 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.440 I think we kind of did so, like because of 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:41.440 his business and because I was in America. I like 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.560 the last time before he died, Like the last time 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.320 I saw him was like I don't know, like ten 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:51.240 years ago, and he would WOA like once in a while, 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.080 like but like he we would always like talk. 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.280 On the phone every I. 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.439 Would say, like like three four. 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:00.880 Times a week we would talk. 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:09.000 But whoa, yeah, okay, you like everybody, go ahead.

I have, 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:58.080 like mental issues that like long term memory is like 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.880 very foggy because of it, so I don't remember much. 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.320 So yeah, so like I would say, like a lot 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:08.439 of most of my memories just like of his voice, 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.960 I guess. I mean I do still like remember like 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:17.400 little slivers of seeing him and things like that. But then, yeah, 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:20.000 I think that was kind of the thing was like 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.160 on the plane, I just remember thinking like, oh, like 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.560 last time I saw him was like five years ago, 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.320 and the next time I'm going to see him as 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:35.520 like dead, which was true, I did see him dead, 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:40.880 But then like also it was also like everybody around 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.960 me was like I don't know, It's like was like 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:48.240 urging me to be sadder than I looked, and I 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:52.480 felt like I had to be crying and be sad, 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.920 but I don't know, and I kind of felt bad 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:57.920 about it too. I was like, this is my dad, 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.960 Like yeah, I'm like very sad about it, but like 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:04.880 I don't look like, you know, like my mom who's 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:08.080 like on the floor like about to pass out, you know. 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:08.520 What I mean? 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:10.960 So your mom is very sad? 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.120 Oh yeah, yeah, my mom was very sad. 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:19.320 Yeah, And but did she see him very often over 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.600 those ten years? 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.920 No, she was like with us, so it was kind 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:27.960 of like that too. I mean, she's kind of an 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:32.480 odd character too. She like she's one person that I 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:38.120 know who like genuinely is okay without interacting with humans 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:38.640 as much. 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:39.120 If that. 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:43.480 Like, I've never like seen her really lonely, and she 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:45.200 literally never. 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.480 Really gets out of the house. 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.480 She has like maybe one or two friends, so I 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.560 don't know, And I think like my dad was maybe 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:57.320 the one anchor she had at that time, so I mean, 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:01.400 and also, you know, like he's her husband's I guess 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:02.640 it makes sense that he was. 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:03.960 She was very devastated. 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:11.240 Interesting. Interesting, why are you the youngest or are you 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:12.120 are you the oldest? 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:14.920 I'm the middle. 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:19.840 Child, so but like, but I have two sisters, so 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.880 I guess I guess like the logistic was like I'm 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:27.120 the only man of the house. Yeah, and it's like yeah, 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.360 and it's like a traditional Asian household, so I think 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.400 that's kind of how it was. And also my older 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.760 sister could not leave the country at the time because 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:40.400 of like visa and issues like that. 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.800 So huh. 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:50.080 Interesting. So how's your relationship with your mom? 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:53.360 Oh? 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.480 Not the greatest, to be honest, I mean we are 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:58.600 working on it, I. 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.680 Guess, but I like she. 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.760 I mean we still like talking like once in a while. 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:10.600 But so my mom's kind of a has an odd 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:14.359 personality in a way that like other moms would like 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:19.639 really appreciate, like if their son calls them and you know, 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:23.280 but like she's more of the person like if I call, 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.760 then she's like, only call me if you have like 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:30.760 an objective, if there's something that we need to talk about. Yeah, yeah, 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:33.440 she's Yeah, she's very much like that. I mean, she's 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.800 gotten better because I've like told her like, hey, like 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.159 I would just want to catch up and you know, 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.720 like see how you're doing. Because now she travels for work, 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.680 so so you know, like I would love to just 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:49.359 catch up. So now she's better at just answering my 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:53.080 phone and but yeah, but she's kind of a NodD ball. 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.280 But I think that's kind of how she survives the 0:17:56.359 --> 0:18:00.639 whole turmoil too, because I think I think that's just 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:02.520 allowed her to be more resilient. 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:06.080 I guess, bro. 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:09.520 How are you doing like like all that, like let 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.280 me let me stop you real quick. All right, so 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.040 you were this had okay, so to go back to 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:19.879 your main story. Okay, So you became the CEO of 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.280 this company. You were there for like a week, and 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:25.000 now who's running the company now? 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:30.840 Oh yeah, so that's seventy year old shareholder. So we 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:34.480 basically created the contract and said, hey, you're going to 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:39.800 take over the company, and and he was actually very 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:41.920 nice about it, and he said, you know, like you 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:46.119 guys are still the family. So what profit like comes 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:50.200 out of it, Like, we will give like livery percentage 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:54.639 of it too, And I and I think, and I think, 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:57.520 I don't know if this is correct, but I just remember, 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.720 I'm like, I'm just doing this to say things because 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.640 Danny Jobs, I generally don't care about profit. I don't 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:05.760 care about money. This is a whole shit show. 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:06.879 That I don't want to be a part of. 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:13.080 Inter So so I remember I just left, and I 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:14.760 told my mom too. I was like, I don't want 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:19.080 to be a part of this. If things happened, things happen. 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:20.680 If you can, you just take care of it, because 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:22.520 I don't want to be a part of it. And 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:26.840 I think last thing I heard was that basically like 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:30.879 that company got liquidated, and I think it got consumed 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:35.359 by another bigger company, if I remember correctly. So because 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:39.680 I remember I was like, I was like receiving chats 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:43.760 from my aunt, just like updates or like, and I 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:47.919 would just ignore them because because my mom would just 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:49.919 deal with it, and I just that's the past. I 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:53.680 just want to leave. But then I stopped hearing them, 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:55.720 and then I remember my mom was like, oh, yeah, that. 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:56.560 Company is no more. 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.879 So I was like, okay, well good for good for us, 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:03.240 I guess. So yeah, so that's what happened to the company. 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:05.959 How how okay? So this was when you were in nineteen. 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:06.720 How old are you now? 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:12.800 I am now almost twenty nine, thirty thirty? 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:16.720 Oh oh fuck, oh shit, okay, damn all right, so 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:18.040 this was a long time ago. 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:22.840 Oh yeah, yeah, this was a long time ago.
