Tico Armand opens up about her journey as an immigrant creative, navigating identity, redefining beauty standards in modeling, and using her voice through acting, writing, and her Rewynd podcast. From not seeing herself represented in books to becoming a children’s author shaping the narrative for the next generation, Tico reminds us that representation isn’t given, it’s built.

This conversation goes deeper than career highlights. We talk about purpose, legacy, and the responsibility of uplifting communities especially for young women from underrepresented backgrounds learning to reclaim their voice.

Paul Herman sits down with Ché Ahn, a Korean American immigrant, longtime pastor, global faith leader, and now a candidate for Governor of California. Ché shares his extraordinary journey from immigrating to the U.S. with nothing, to dropping out of high school at 17, battling addiction and homelessness, and ultimately experiencing a life-altering spiritual encounter that redirected his purpose. With raw honesty, he reflects on family conflict, failure, and faith and how those early struggles shaped his compassion for the most vulnerable in society.

After 46 years in ministry and leading a global network of churches across more than 70 nations, Ché opens up about the moment that changed everything: being awakened in the early morning hours and feeling called reluctantly but obediently to run for governor. This episode is a vulnerable, hope-filled conversation about obedience over comfort, leadership forged through adversity, and why an immigrant who once hit rock bottom now believes his calling is to serve California at the highest level.

Leaving comfort is never easy especially when you’re an immigrant professional who’s been taught to value stability. In our latest conversation with Rodhmir, a seasoned Product Leader who has helped launch 30+ products across tech, finance, energy, and consumer brands, he opens up about the quiet courage it takes to walk away from “safe” roles after mastering them and choosing growth anyway. His journey is rooted in that familiar tension many immigrants carry: gratitude for opportunity, paired with the relentless feeling that you’re meant to do more.

Rodhmir speaks candidly about taking “reach roles,” embracing risk before feeling fully ready, and redefining failure not as an endpoint but as a mindset. He shares how assuming responsibility early, even when the stakes felt high, forced him to grow faster, sharpen his decision-making, and build frameworks that now guide how he leads, builds, and executes with clarity. It’s a powerful reminder that progress often comes from failing forward and trusting yourself before the world catches up.
