What if your hardest moments could become your greatest strengths? June An, entrepreneur and founder of The Group SD, joins us to share how he transformed a turbulent childhood into a life of purpose, leadership, and service.
Born to Korean immigrants and raised by a Hispanic family for six unexpected years, June's early life defied convention. Spanish was his first language. Reunion with his father brought challenges—but instead of resentment, June chose growth. "Nobody's going to save me, so I became that person for others," he says.
That mindset powers everything he does—from launching 71 businesses through his 386-member “non-networking networking group,” to leading a men's circle that redefines masculinity through emotional openness and accountability.
We talk jiu-jitsu as a metaphor for life, building community from scratch, and parenting with intention. June opens up about breaking generational cycles, embracing discomfort, and why his son telling him, “Dad, I’m proud of you,” was the ultimate full-circle moment.
This episode is packed with wisdom on resilience, leadership, and living with heart. Whether you're an entrepreneur, parent, or someone navigating your own path, you’ll walk away inspired to turn your struggles into strength.
