The Impact of Comedy on Vietnamese American Identity

Viet Kieu

Meet Fred Le, a talented Vietnamese American stand-up comedian, and filmmaker. He has an exciting documentary on the horizon called "The Empathizer," where he's exploring the stories of "young" Viet Kieus who have chosen to “come back” to live in Vietnam despite their parents' disapproval at times. Fred himself lived in Vietnam from 2017 to 2020 and is passionate about uncovering what it truly means to be Vietnamese. Through his interviews with other Vietnamese individuals born outside of Vietnam, who are now living there, Fred hopes to find common ground and gain valuable insights into his own identity, and maybe a way to convince his mother that Vietnam is not what it used to be. In this conversation, we explore some deep, introspective thoughts about the meaning of being Viet Kieu and the role we play in shaping new cultures! This conversation truly holds a special place for me and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did recording it. Note: This was actually a long conversation so we had to cut it into 2 episodes. Episode 2 will come out next week! and will talk about the place of Stand Up Comedy here in Vietnam!

Exploring Viet Kieu’s Identity with Fred “The Empathizer” Le

For this episode back from a long break, I am inviting our former host Nico to talk about a topic that is really important for both of us: Acceptance. It is something that we have been practicing diligently for the past couple of years (and still actively practicing) as it is an important step when facing the many transitions in life. Without further ado, I am inviting you to listen to this two-part episode where I am also giving an update on where the podcast will go in the next few months.

The importance of Acceptance in Life’s Transitions + Podcast update

In this episode, we are truly exploring the meaning of better late than never! We recorded this episode at the beginning of June hoping to release it before one big transitional break with Tue-Si going back to Canada for the summer and Moni deciding to step away from the podcast to focus on other areas of her life. Unfortunately, as it often happens life got a bit overwhelming and this episode stayed on the shelves until today. So better late than never, here is an interesting team introspection on how we handle doubts and transitions in life. I (Tue-Si) am very excited to continue the podcast and will soon be looking for another co-host but until then I cannot wait to record the next episode in order to catch y’all up with what truly happened during our break and get back to connect with the extraordinary Creators in Vietnam!

Creators in Vietnam

In the FINAL episode for season 1 of Creators in Saigon, I sit down with Will Snyder, Sean Lambe, and Mateu Perpinya, the filmmakers behind "Irregular Film".Irregular Film is an independent film production company focused on making documentaries highlighting the intersection between eastern and western cultures in Vietnam. The company was started by Will Synder and Sean Lambe, who met while teaching English at ILA, and they have since been joined by their talented film editor Matt.Their first film, Faces You Forget: Nights Out in Saigon (Bui Vien Documentary) was released in 2016 and has since garnered over 43K views on Youtube and over 250K views on Facebook. Vietnamese locals and Westerners alike love the film for it's ability to uncover the stories of the Vietnamese people on this famous backpacker street, amidst all of the lights and beers and EDM music.Three years later, the boys are taking it a huge step further by creating their first length feature film documentary. This one is called Saigon Metalhood, and it uncovers the underground metal rock scene in Saigon. If you are not a metal rock fan, not to worry. This film is not about metal rock as a music genre, but it's about the fascinating history of metal rock in Vietnam and about the Vietnamese people who are part of this culture today.In this interview we discuss how they got started making films with zero budget, simple equipment and minimal experience, we talk about the behind-the-scenes making of both their films, and what advice they have for aspiring filmmakers.  To follow Irregular Film and find their documentaries visit:https://www.facebook.com/irregularfilm/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ3arexAfqI6ERrWB-Wp8zQhttps://www.saigonmetalhood.comFollow on Instagram: @irregularfilmvnFollow us on Facebook and Instagram: @creatorsinsaigonMusic by Lewis Wright and Cover art by Priyanka Mehta

Natural Skin Care and Confidence with Viktoriya Gorodetska

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING YOUR OWN HAPPINESS."The 'I don't know' mind is where you can start to receive wisdom." -Lam TueIf you’ve been feeling lately like you’ve totally hit a wall, and you’re wondering when things will get better, it’s no coincidence that you have found this podcast episode.Our guest Lam Tue, a Saigon local, works with clients in Vietnam and all around the world who are ready to take the responsibility to heal their childhood wounds and grow into the highest version of themselves.There’s a reason why you feel frustrated and stuck. Why none of your relationships work out. Why you don’t feel confident at work. Why you thought moving abroad would solve all your problems and it didn’t. Lam is here to help you see and live in your truth, which means being who you really are, not who you think you should or shouldn’t be. Ignoring your negative feelings, keeping busy all the time, chasing highs, and blaming others for your problems are all what keep you from uncovering your authentic creative self. We all want to create an amazing life for ourselves and that has to start internally, not externally, which is a lesson I’ve personally had to learn over and over again. But where do we start? You’ll learn this and more in episode number 3 of the Creators in Saigon podcast.As always, share this episode with a friend who you think can benefit from hearing this message and please share on your social media.

Lam Tue on Speaking Your Truth

Millette Stambaugh

As promised, this is a BONUS episode for season 1 to give you a glimpse into the new format and to introduce our new co-host!!I had sooo much fun recording this with my soul sista Millette of @thenextsomewhere (seriously, we found so many parallels in our lives and personalities it’s freaky!!) and my bestie and now co-host @lam_tarot_into_clarity.Millette lived in Saigon 2.5 years ago and now lives back in the States with her husband (props to her hubs who spent their first Thanksgiving without her!). I was introduced to Millette by another @creatorsinsaigon alumni guest, Frances, of @so_theadventurebegins (thank you for introducing me to this GEM Frances!!)When Millette introduced herself, she said that she was back in Vietnam for a “creative immersion”. Vietnam was a place where her creativity really blossomed and where she feels the most at home (away from home).Her purpose in coming here really struck me. Some people go on vacation and don’t really put much thought into the purpose. Many of us go through LIFE this way- lost, living day by day not really knowing why they do what they do. Millette had a totally different approach and I was really inspired by it and think you will be too!Take a listen, share on your social media and let us know what you think! It really means so much when I hear from you guys:)To follow and support Millette:Website: www.thenextsomewhere.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/thenextsomewhereFacebook: www.facebook.com/thenextsomewhereYoutube: www.youtube.com/thenextsomewhere

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING YOUR OWN HAPPINESS.This is a teaser for the full episode with Lam Tue which will air on Monday, October 28th.When I first met my dear friend Lam she told me she was a Tarot card reader which sparked some skepticism in me. But really she uses Tarot as a tool to understand her clients' subconscious, much like a psychiatrist using the ink blot test. Lam gets to the root of her clients' problems, helps them see the truth and guides them through the healing journey, giving them the power to take back control of their life and create their own happiness. In the full episode we chat about what exactly Lam does, what it means to speak your truth, why it's important to listen and feel ALL of your emotions (not just the positive ones), why we get anxious thinking about the future, what does self love look like, what it means to heal and become whole and why it's so important for everyone to do so.Follow us on Instagram and Facebook: @creatorsinsaigonMusic by Lewis Wright and Cover Art by Priyanka Mehta

TEASER: Making Documentaries in Saigon with Irregular Film

Sophie Nguyen

On today’s episode, we sat down to talk with YouTuber Sophie Nguyen (@thetamshow), about her experiences growing up Vietnamese in France, and ultimately moving to Vietnam, despite her parents' discomfort with this decision.   We started off with Sophie’s parents’ background and the difficulties she faced as a third-culture kid. Sophie describes her first trip to Vietnam and how it changed her mindset and made her want to come back more permanently! We talk about what connotations the term "Vietkieu" has and what it's been like for Sophie coming back to the homeland (the good and the bad).   Sophie shares more about her Youtube channel, The Tam Show, and the mission behind it-to help you go for their dreams and realize you are the "master of your life." HELL YEAH.   Sophie is a French lady with Vietnamese parents. She was born and grew up in France in the suburbs of Paris. During her studies, she had an internship in Hanoi, her true first time in Vietnam. She found her roots and had such a good experience, she knew that she wouldn’t work in France and that she was meant to work abroad. Her open-mindedness and love for traveling brought her to book a one-way ticket after her finishing studies to come back to Vietnam more than 2 years ago, but this time in Saigon, where there are more job opportunities. Since that day, it has been a long journey for Sophie who had a lot of ups and downs in her professional life and came to some deep realizations. She is now hosting her own YouTube talk show called The Tam Show.

Sophie shares more about her Youtube channel, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUKCG_GlWbGauDo3jBsS18g" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Tam Show</a>, and the mission behind it-to help you go for their dreams and realize you are the "master of your life." HELL YEAH. Sophie is a French lady with Vietnamese parents. She was born and grew up in France in the suburbs of Paris. During her studies, she had an internship in Hanoi, her true first time in Vietnam. She found her roots and had such a good experience, she knew that she wouldn’t work in France and that she was meant to work abroad. Her open-mindedness and love for traveling brought her to book a one-way ticket after her finishing studies to come back to Vietnam more than 2 years ago, but this time in Saigon, where there are more job opportunities. Since that day, it has been a long journey for Sophie who had a lot of ups and downs in her professional life and came to some deep realizations. She is now hosting her own YouTube talk show called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUKCG_GlWbGauDo3jBsS18g" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Tam Show</a>.

Experiences of a Vietkieu in Saigon with Sophie Nguyen, French-Vietnamese

Alex Stevenson

The second part of this two-part series (watch the first episode here!), we talk to Alex Stevenson (@ninja_teacher), YouTuber and entrepreneur, about personality tests and how to use them in your life and business effectively. Alex talks a bit about the psychology behind personality and how to avoid biased results while taking the tests. Alex gives a brief overview of the personality tests and what they show, and then we have a bit of fun discussing each of their own results from all these tests! We also talk about how we can effectively interpret the results rather than based on our past biases or what society deemed our personalities. We’d love to hear about your results from the personality tests, so share them on our social media pages so we can see!Alex Stevenson is an educator, entrepreneur and content creator from South Africa. He has lived in Asia for the last 6 years, with the past 4 being in Vietnam, teaching English in countries such as South Korea and Vietnam. He has a YouTube channel with nearly 500 videos and 5 million views with daily life and informational videos about teaching English abroad. He currently runs Ninja Teacher Academy, an English teacher training school in Vietnam that trains, supports and helps find jobs for over 100 individuals per year who want to start teaching English abroad.Quotes:“If you’re honest with yourself and look objectively, then you’ll get a result that’s accurate to who you are.”“Maybe you'll learn that over time, and get a better sense of where you are not, but just knowing that people vary in introversion and extroversion, or agreeableness and disagreeableness, just knowing that helps you realize that people are different and you can support each other if you are different.”Resources:Music by: Lewis WrightCover art by: Priyanka MehtaProduced by: Dana DrahosFollow us on Instagram! @creatorsinsaigonCheck out Alex on his YouTube channel, "Ninja Teacher"Ninja Teacher Website: https://ninjateacher.com/Follow Alex on Instagram! @ninja_teacherPersonality TestsHuman design/bodygraphMyers-BriggsZodiacLife path numbersEnneagramThe Big Five

Are You an English Teacher or an Entrepreneur? Part 1 with Alex Stevenson from "Ninja Teacher"

In this episode, we talk with Tarek about perfection and how it works against ourselves mentally and professionally. We kick off talking about Tarek’s passions for trying new things and how it led to the start of his channel. He, Lam, and Dana each mention how aiming for perfection actually held them and those they know back from their goals and how they worked to overcome those feelings. Finally, we talk about our top tips for addressing your fears for putting yourself out there without aiming for perfectionism so that you can gain the confidence to do whatever you put your mind to! Tarek, who just turned 30, is a multi-passionate and a learning junkie. He tried more than 20 sports (and won a few medals on the way), studied 5 languages, and loves to challenge himself going out of his comfort zone by learning various new skills, such as playing ukulélé, running a half marathon, backflipping, and being an MC at a wedding! Seeing his friends startled and curious about his abilities, he started to share his progression and mindset on his YouTube channel "Go From Zero To Hero."

Sex and Beauty Standards in Vietnam

Rachel Jones

TRIGGER WARNING: Light discussion of rape and sexual abuse in the context of healing traumatic experiences. Do you ever start panicking or feeling anxiety and have absolutely no idea why? Or maybe you keep getting caught in the cycle of unsuccessful and unfulfilling relationships? In this episode we learn how one man couldn't understand why every time he went to the gym, he'd have a panic attack. After two sessions with our guest Rachel, he found the specific event where it all started, healed that wound, and enjoys life anxiety/stress free. We also hear about a woman who couldn't fully connect in romantic relationships, uncovered a repressed trauma with Rachel and healed after two sessions, and is now happily in a relationship. Rachel Jones works predominantly with two therapeutic healing modalities called Transpersonal Regression Therapy (TRT) and Integrated Clinical Hypnotherapy (ICH). In this episode, you will learn about two of the most cutting edge and effective  healing modalities available today. That's because, unlike other types of therapies that are treating the symptoms, TRT and ICH go directly to the source, to heal the root cause, so you are permanently liberated from suffering. What takes years in talk therapy can take only two or three sessions with Rachel! We also get a deep understanding of what a session with Rachel looks like and why she considers it is a form of art, with concrete case study examples to help you visualize. We discuss how NOT healing means you can be passing your trauma down to future generations. Relative to that, we discuss traumas that have been passed down the generations in Vietnamese families due to the war, and how it is presenting in the young adults of Vietnam today. Lam shares with us this situation in her own life, how she healed, and how she helps her clients heal. Rachel is available for one-on-one therapy sessions and can be contacted directly by phone or email at: racheldjones@yahoo.com or WhatsApp/Zalo/Viber: +84 126 217 1530 Rachel is also now running immersed workshops. Please Note: With only 8-10 participants these workshops book quickly. She currently provides four types of workshops available in March and April 2020:  Using group energy fields to boost manifesting your goals and desires! Identifying and healing the unseen family legacy: How undigested ancestral &amp; generational trauma is carried by the current family. Organ Regeneration and Deep Tissue Memory: Healing at the DNA level with the physical body. Body &amp; Balance: Identifying and healing both the inner &amp; outer scars/experiences which impact how beautiful we look and feel.  If you and a group of friends, family, or colleagues are interested in these incredible workshops you may also contact Rachel directly!
