<p>Welcome back to the ARTS podcast! In this episode, Kimberly Han and I talk about her journey of moving to LA to pursue directing seven years ago, and the realization of one of her biggest dreams this year - the creation of her film Champion. Champion, a story inspired by her own personal experiences as a daughter of immigrants, is about how 9-year-old Korean girl seeks to rebuild a sense of community and mend her broken heart, after moving to California without her "goose father" who stayed behind to make money for his family.</p> <p>In our conversation, we also explore how the creative journey is like for Asian immigrants, as well as the themes behind Champion - and our own personal coming-of-age stories of anguish AND self-reliance while growing up.</p> <p>Prepare for your heart to be seen and touched <3</p> <p>-----</p> <p>About Kimberly: Kimberly is a Korean American writer-director with a passion for socially conscious stories that push boundaries in genre or form. She also likes elevated genres where she can build worlds that span from sci-fi to horror to magical realism. For her day job, Kimberly is a Manager of Scripted TV at NBCUniversal, and she previously worked at Leverage Management and Anonymous Content. She was a Creative Executive fellow with Film Independent Project Involve, where she produced several short films that premiered and won awards at major festivals, including Berlinale and SXSW. Kimberly graduated from the University of Chicago with an Honors BA in International Studies & Cinema Studies. Her hobby is baking cakes for her friends. Her specialty is a fluffy Korean strawberry shortcake, which comes out right 75% of the time.</p> <p>-----</p> <p>Donation Link: <a href="https://www.filmindependent.org/programs/fiscal-sponsorship/champion/"><u>https://www.filmindependent.org/programs/fiscal-sponsorship/champion/</u></a></p> <p>Website: <a href="https://kimberly-han.com/"><u>https://kimberly-han.com/</u></a></p> <p>IG: @championtheshortfilm</p>

<p>Happy AAPI Heritage Month! Today, we have Marty Noel Chenyao with us. Marty is a troll who lives under a bridge made of Coca-Cola bottles, wide-ruled journals, and pink organza dresses ;).</p> <p>In this episode, we talk about the pressure Marty felt to go after ‘status’ careers (aka software engineering) to prove his worth, the post-undergrad existential crisis that made him realize that he had to do his own thing and how he balances having a main job with making art every day.</p> <p>We also dive deep into how realizing that he was an artist and deciding to pursue art led him to come out as a transgender man, as well as what the gender transition was like. Marty also shares golden nuggets on how to be honest with yourself and truly BE your most authentic self, so if you’re looking for an episode to live an aligned life, this is it.</p> <p><strong>Reach out to Marty:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/the.antisocialite/"><u>IG</u></a>: @the.antisocialite</li> <li><a href="https://theantisocialite.com/">Website</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Resources:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert <ul> <li><a href=" https://www.instagram.com/marcopolorules/">Art inspiration</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/pinkmantaray/">Trans issues</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/alokvmenon/">Trans art</a></li> <li><a href="http://reddit.com/r/egg_irl">Subreddit for trans people in denial</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ftmfemininity">Subreddit for transmasculine people who still enjoy feminine aesthetics</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/africabrooke/">Social justice & self expression</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul>

<p>In honor of Women’s History Month, I’ve invited a couple of my clients who just started their businesses, and made their first 1K and beyond within 3 months, to share their insights, mindset shifts and behind the scenes stories with you. Each of them is breaking barriers and making history right now - not just for themselves, but also for the whole entrepreneurship field as what’s possible as an Asian and woman of color.</p> <p>This week, I have the AMAZING Michelle Carrizosa with us. Michelle is a Career Coach for women of color who want to break into tech. She was a Program Manager for AWS in Seattle before founding The Tech Career Lab in 2019 to help women navigate their career transition. Side note: she’s also now living in Paris and running her business from there, which is super fun.</p> <p>So in this episode, you’ll hear about how Michelle went from daydreaming about having a biz while being in tech to actually making it happen while facing her fears around having an accent & imposter syndrome, how to grow a business when you have a very dramatic critical brain, and how she was able to make 1.5K just an hour after our first coaching call.</p> <p>The theme of this episode is to really explore what getting comfortable with the uncomfortable looks like, even a year in. It’s something that will ALWAYS happen in business, especially because discomfort often equals growth. So if you’re having trouble putting yourself out there, having money conversations for your services or being vulnerable with your content, this episode is for you.</p> <p><strong>Reach out to Michelle:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michellecarrizosacoach/"><u>LinkedIn</u></a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Recommended Resources:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://thelifecoachschool.com/podcast/"><u>Life Coach School podcast</u></a></li> <li><a href="https://staceyboehman.com/podcast/"><u>Make Money as a Life Coach podcast </u></a></li> <li>Reading fiction!</li> <li>Yunzhe’s <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/yunzhezhou/"><u>LinkedIn</u></a></li> </ul>
