In this raw, hilarious, and thought-provoking episode, host Alan sits down with veteran, nurse, and proud Filipino J.R. Arce to dig into everything from cultural stereotypes and childhood trauma to the generational pursuit of the American dream.
They laugh (a lot) about the stereotype that every Filipino becomes a nurse, but also dive deep into the real reasons behind that cultural norm—family sacrifice, immigrant survival, and dreams passed down. J.R. shares his story of becoming a nurse through the Army ROTC program, serving around the world, transitioning into public affairs, and ultimately co-founding a marketing agency.
The conversation covers everything from Filipino nicknames and food, to raising kids in America, to pivoting careers after the military. Expect some spicy language, some unexpected inspiration, and a heavy dose of humor as two veterans shoot it straight on culture, purpose, and building something beyond the box they were put in.
Warning: Not for the easily offended, but definitely for those who like their truth served with lumpia and a side of laughter.
