38:30

Chef Shuai Wang was the runner-up on the 22nd season of Bravo’s Top Chef and is the force behind two standout restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina—Jackrabbit Filly and King BBQ—where he brings together the flavors of his childhood in Beijing and the spirit of the South in some pretty unforgettable ways. He grew up just a short walk from Tiananmen Square, in a tiny home with no electricity or running water, where his grandmother often cooked over charcoal. Later, in Queens, New York, his mom taught herself to cook—her first dishes were a little salty, but they were always made with love. And somewhere along the way, Shuai learned that cooking wasn’t just about food—it was about taking care of people. After years working in New York kitchens, he made his way to Charleston and started building something that feels entirely his own. Today, we’re talking about how all those experiences come together on the plate, the family stories behind his cooking, and what it’s been like to share that journey on national TV.

2024 is not a year any of us will forget anytime soon. The positives and negatives that defined this year have everyone reflecting and predicting what is waiting for us in 2025. Shaping Freedom is taking the time to look back on some of our best conversations this year with the amazing people trying to push us forward in our relationships, communities, and lives. But before all of that, it has to be said that parents today have never had it as hard as it is. 24-hour news cycles, social media, societal instability, and a very uncertain future have left parents feeling adrift within themselves and how they raise their children. This is why we pulled our best conversations from the year and cut them together, to act as a guide moving forward. We’re going to hear from Brock Johnson on how growing up in a household with entrepreneurial parents contributed to his journey of becoming a social media expert and building a family-run business. We’re going to hear from Abby Kamen on what it means to be an authentic parent versus an authoritative one, and we’re going to hear from Monica Wisdom about how to navigate life without parents being present and so many more incredible voices that offer up their stories, their experiences, and their wisdom. Parenting isn’t the only thing we must reflect on this year. In this episode, we pulled some of our best conversations yet with people like Aaron Robinson, former NFL player Chukky Okobi, and painter and artist Joseph Awuah-Darko to cover topics such as loss, generational trauma, what it is like to be from an immigrant family in the United States, and most importantly how we grow and strengthen our family bonds.
