Reena loves a story, and she‘s fascinated by the people behind them. She loves to bring stories to life. Her appetite for storytelling has taken her from the Jerry Springer Show to the legal drama of the courtroom. From influential players to reality stars, nothing is censored here. Reena interviews people whose stories haven‘t been told, at least not through her unique lens, and then gets daddy‘s advice afterward like a good daughter does. Whether you have daddy issues or a father who‘s inspired your path, you will be able to tap into my daddy‘s wisdom, wit, and humor at the end of every episode. My daddy has been a guiding light my whole life and there‘s not much he doesn‘t know, as an entrepreneur for forty-plus years, a husband, a loyal son, and my number one supporter. He has learned lots of life lessons along the way and is here to share them with you. It‘s time to reminisce and reflect on the conversations you‘d like to have with your daddy and learn from mine. Come share in some good old-fashioned family bonding and help us up our wisdom rating. There is wisdom from four generations and I’m addressing what happens from childhood to adulthood!

In this episode of Better Call Daddy, we explore the captivating realm of collecting and safeguarding objects with significant meanings and the intriguing narratives that accompany them. Together with fellow podcaster Alicia Araujo-Elatassi, from Vibes by Alicia podcast, I embarked on a collaborative interview with the Founder of the Choosii app, Shirley Yu.
Shirley and I established a connection via Twitter, and when Alicia discovered the subject matter, she eagerly jumped on board. After all, who doesn't know someone with a penchant for collecting?
As a former photographer, Shirley understands the value of storytelling and emotional connection in a consumer-driven world that often prioritizes quantity over quality.
We explore the shift towards appreciating artisanal and tangible products, emphasizing the desire for emotional attachment and learning the story behind brands. The episode takes an exciting turn when Shirley discusses the idea of social collaboration within collecting communities.
She suggests that by collaborating and sharing knowledge, collectors can enhance their collections and ensure the items find appreciative new homes.
The concept of connecting collectors through technology is explored, with our speaker sharing insights from her own app designed to help collectors find meaningful connections and discover hidden subgroups within larger collecting communities.
Personal stories and memories also come to the forefront, as Shirley recounts her early experiences living with grandparents in China, surrounded by scientific backgrounds and a love for stamp collecting and photography. These childhood memories, as well as the preservation of their grandpa's stamp collection, hold great significance, who believes that the true value of an item lies in the memories and connections it holds, rather than its monetary worth.
Throughout the episode, Shirley reflects on the power of names and identity. She shares her own collection, appropriately named the Shirley Collection, which includes items that hold contextual stories, such as clothes with their name sewn in by their grandmother.
The importance of knowing and embracing one's own name is a lesson passed down from their grandparents. As always, Better Call Daddy uncovers the hidden gems and stories behind everyday experiences.
Whether finding treasures in garbage rooms, connecting collectors through technology, or preserving memories and identities through meaningful collections, this episode is a testament to the power of storytelling and the appreciation of objects with a rich history. Join us as we dive into the world of collecting on this captivating episode of Better Call Daddy.
