Welcome back to the final installment of my interview with Jinwoo Park, debut author of Oxford Soju Club, which is coming out in September of this year.

In today’s episode, Jinwoo shared some really great insights about how embracing your creativity filters out into all parts of your life, especially relationships. I left this conversation feeling like I was walking on clouds–very hopeful and inspired. Enjoy!

We covered:
- Taking inspiration from politics, in South Korea and around the world
- Working as a translator for Korean sci-fi and thrillers
- How owning your creative identity helps you be more authentic in your relationships
- How being a Dad inspires him to pursue happiness
- Becoming a more collaborative partner
- The TV series that cured his disillusionment with streaming series
- Some frank talk about milk, oat milk, and flatulence
- The song that never fails to turn his mood around
- The Korean stew he could eat every day
