Happy Successful Asians

Hello Happy Successful Asians listeners! This is the first official podcast episode and I'm so excited you're here.

In this episode, I talk about identity crisis because I was immersed in a limbo of different cultures growing up as a Korean living on a pacific island called American Samoa then moving to the United States to attend college. And I feel like this is an experience A LOT of us Asians go through as a third culture kid.

I bounced between different cultures - Korean, Samoan, and American, and when I came to the US, I went through all sorts of new experiences - saw snow for the first time, got shouted at for saying hella, didn't know the right lingo, had an Asian/Island accent, and didn’t know anyone except my brother.

After graduating from university, I went into the corporate world, experienced mental and emotional challenges, then pivoted to become a coach, entrepreneur, and digital nomad to help others.

Now, I’m owning and examining my unique identity and story because it's important to own and embrace the beautiful journey and experiences that's unique to you. It's what makes you special, and it's what allows you to share your essence with the world.

So celebrate your identity and story because it's YOUR special gift.

Welcome to a brief of what to expect on the Happy Successful Asians Podcast! My name is Joon Kim, and I'm a coach and entrepreneur here to share ideas on how you can smash the societal limitations and chart your own path towards happiness and success.

I used to work in Finance chasing my career goals only to fall into dark moments, struggling mentally and emotionally and questioning where I had gone wrong. But that pain and struggle took me on a journey to seek answers, and as I came across solutions, I had one simple question, "Why hadn't school taught me these ideas and principles?". I felt that school failed to teach me the lessons that I really needed to become happy and successful.

Now I'm here to share what I had learned in the hopes that it’ll help you during our time together, plus I wanted to send some happy vibes your way to brighten your day and make you feel better. I'll also bring on fellow Asians who share similar beliefs and values to highlight their stories, struggles, and lessons so that you can smash through the societal limitations and own your life because it's your birthright. So get pumped because this is going to be fun, energetic, and exciting!
