When you give yourself permission to pursue your dreams, that is the moment that your life begins.

It's when you stop being a spectator and you start being the man in the arena.

Hey, everyone. Welcome back to on purpose, the number one health podcast in the world.

Thanks to each and every one of you that come back every week to listen, learn and grow.

Now, you know that I love to sit down with fascinating people, with incredible stories,

and especially people who share that through the written word.

I'm a huge fan of books. You know I'm always sharing my favorite books with you.

And when I saw this book come out, I'd met this individual in the author probably a few months before the book was announced.

And we connected at a really special roundtable, which we'll share in our interview.

And I was really taken aback by his journey. And as I researched more about his story,

I was blown away by the decisions he's made, the choices he's made.

And I'm speaking about the one and only, Seemoo Liu, who made history as the star of the first Asian fronted movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

And of course, if you haven't seen it, I highly, highly recommend it.

And which garnered him the People's Choice Award for Favorite Action Movie Star.

Seemoo also starred in the award-winning CBC and Netflix comedy series, Kim's Convenience,

which won the AC-TRA Awards for Outstanding Ensemble in 2017, and Best Comedy Series at the 2018 Canadian Screen Awards.

It was the first Canadian television series with an all-Asian lead cast,

the series Chronicles, the day-to-day micro dramas, encountered by Korean immigrant family that runs a corner grocery store.

Now, Seemoo list of accolades now is unbelievable.

Beyond all of this, he's a super cool guy, super down to earth, a wonderful human being.

And he does insane back flips. I've seen them in real life, not just in movies.

Welcome to the show. Seemoo Liu, Seemoo, thanks for being here, man.
