Building Bridges Through Curiosity: A Deep Dive into Family Connection with Joseph Lam

Parents Are Human co-founder Joseph Lam shares the remarkable journey of creating a card game that's transforming family relationships across cultures and languages.

The conversation takes unexpected turns into entrepreneurship, museum archival techniques, and authentic sales approaches, before culminating in a live demonstration of the game between the hosts and Joseph. At its heart, this episode explores how simple questions can bridge the gaps in our most complex relationships, reminding us that everyone - parents included - is fundamentally human. A powerful conversation about family, forgiveness, and the courage to create new patterns of connection.
