DREAM BIG, they say. GO BIG OR GO HOME, they say. We are here for ALL of it....but it also helps to know what it’s really like for people like us who are actually doing all of the above. Actualizing a grand vision, a lifelong dream, or ambitious goal looks different for everyone, but there are universally shared experiences and feelings that anyone can learn from. In this episode of First Of All, Minji catches up with her dear friend, comedian/host/actor Joon Lee from JoonLeeComedy, as he dives into his brand new life in LA. The last time they spoke in Atlanta back in 2018, Joon shared his aspirations of pursuing comedy & acting full-time. Now the wheels are in motion, and he’s taken the plunge to come to Hollywood. Together they talk about his journey going from church plays, experiencing college & corporate life, going viral on Instagram, & learning what it really takes to make it in the biz. They discuss the challenges of staying motivated, disciplined, & committed to professional growth while also having space to figure things out as a person. For everyone in pursuit of something bigger, we understand and we got your back.
