In this episode we interviewed a very special guest…my daughter. Kati Eberhart is a multifaceted author who turned her passion for Asian culture into an extraordinary story and career. At just 17, Kati fulfilled her dream of visiting Japan and chronicled the journey in her groundbreaking book, Kati's Journey: One Teen's Journey to Japan—the first interactive book written by a U.S. teen, featuring 45 QR codes linking to videos of her adventure. After graduating high school, she became a prolific K-Pop writer, penning over 1,800 articles. Now, Kati's channeling her storytelling gifts into her latest project: a fantasy novel.
