Episode 21: Like Father, Like Son
In honor of Father’s Day, I brought my dad, Jamie Azuma, on the show to take a stroll down memory lane and examine some of the events of my childhood through his eyes. As a devout husband, father, and businessman, my dad has been the sterling example, for me, of how a man provides for his family (beyond financial), loves and honors his wife, and embodies his values in every word and action.
