Happy Successful Asians
Business & Economics Podcasts
Welcome to 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 depression, 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!

[011] Feeling Like A Dirty Penny
9/24/2020
What comes to mind when you hear - A Dirty Penny? For me, it was insignificant and unimportant, and that's how I felt most of my life. The craziest part is that I didn't know that's how I felt until I said it out loud in front of a bunch of strangers.
On episode 11, I talk about my experience attending a session in Flowmasters where people freestyle and rap to get out of their heads and tap into their hearts to speak their truth. While I had A LOT of fear going into the session primarily...

[005] Going from Religious to Spiritual
8/6/2020
Christianity was very much embedded in my everyday life growing up in American Samoa, but over the years, I started to question aspects of religion and the church - especially with respect to what was right and wrong, what to believe in and not to believe in, and the unwritten rules to follow scripture.
Religion felt limiting, and by the time I reached college, I stopped attending church because I wanted more me (aka Joon) time 😂
These days, I define myself more spiritual than religious...

[004] The ONE Thing That Transformed My Life
7/30/2020
What's the ONE thing that transformed my life?
It's not a secret, but before I share it with you, I ask that you be open to the idea.
And that ONE thing is meditation.
In 2016, one of my seniors scolded a colleague for something that wasn’t her fault. I expected her to fight back telling our senior that she didn't have anything to do with the situation, but she ended up taking on the blame without a fight.
As a frustrated observer, I asked why she didn't do anything, but her demeanor and...

[003] My Issues With Traditional Education
7/23/2020
It pisses me off when I think of the traditional schooling system because we spend a good chunk of our lives in school, yet it does a shitty job preparing us for life's biggest challenges and teaching us how to be happy.
The educational system tests our intelligence based on a limited set of criteria, it discourages mistakes and failures which are necessary for growth, and it prevents us from exploring our curiosities by promoting a culture of obedience, fitting-in, playing small, and...

[002] Happiness and Success is an Inside Job
7/16/2020
Happiness and Success is an INSIDE JOB because you get who you are in life not what you want. So whatever you experience comes back to your perspective / mindset / paradigm on how you see and show up for the world.
But one of the biggest challenge is that A LOT this was influenced by societal expectations and limitations. You come into this world with a blank canvas, but as you experience life, people start drawing on this canvas - defining what happiness and success means for you and...

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.

I bounced between different cultures - Korean, Samoan, and...
