Hey guys, my name is John Kim. I'm a licensed therapist and life coach putting

self betterment into a shot class because let's face it who's got that much time

these days. I come unpolished, unrehearsed, on purpose.

If you're looking for more of a wine glass, you've come to the wrong place.

There's an Eminem song where Dr. Dre says,

Let me say this while this weed is in me and he gets all vulnerable telling

Eminem how much he loves him and how he has his back.

Well, let me say this, there is no weed in me, but let me say this while it's on my heart.

I had this moment coming home today and I just felt like I should turn it into a

podcast I thought it would maybe help people or maybe remind people at the least and

that's how I usually do these podcasts.

If I feel something in my heart and feels honest to me,

I just turn the recorder on and I start talking.

I trust that more than any kind of structure or research or you know if if I ever

present something on a on some kind of PowerPoint structure thing that this know

that it's me feeling insecure and trying to hide behind my insecurity.

So here we go.

I used to be highly reactive. I used to be highly reactive I used to be the hot-tempered loud Korean guy who got

triggered often and if someone came at me, I mean not like physically, but like if someone you know pushed my

buttons or if there was some kind of conflict I would be

be loud, I would try to steamroll, I'd be extremely defensive.

I would come at them, you know what I'm saying?
