This will likely be the most important podcast episode I have ever released. Today, I sit down with my mom.

We have a very candid and open conversation about our relationship and the healing that has taken place between us. My mom opens up and also shares publicly for the first time the story of her joining the Korean Military at 15 and subsequently the Korean Central Intelligence Agency. We also share our stories from our recent trip to Korea, which was my mom’s first time home since she left 49 years ago.

I hope you enjoy this conversation and leave inspired to what is possible between you and your parents.
