Kong Pham is one of the Asian guys on this planet who’s truly living an outside of the box existence. 


He started Simple Pickup, one of the funniest YouTube channels in existence (now defunct) where he would pick up girls using funny pickup lines and crazy costumes. Not to mention, he used that channel to pickup and date hundreds of women.


Since then, he’s taken his passion for viral video and made several 7 and 8 figure products, namely Project Go, Jumpcut, BluYam, and his latest product SweetPainting.

AMPED ASIA: Asian America UNCENSORED.

Interviews with "outside of the box" Asian Americans.

Asian content has always been tame & boring.

There are so many podcasts, websites, and magazines that continuously release the most PC and unoriginal content.

It’s as if Asians have decided unanimously that we want to fit that “model minority” mold and not take a risk, even when it comes to creating media.

Amped Asia was created to break from that mold. We created the world’s first Asian American podcast that will delve deep into the topics that few outlets dare to discuss.

To that end, we're talking to amazing creators, artists, entrepreneurs, hustlers, and media personalities that show the wide range of Asian Americans.
