This week Jun and Daniel welcome their guest Byeong, a Korean Canadian who shares his unique cultural journey growing up in Toronto, working in Hong Kong, and now living in Korea. Through exploring Byeong's experiences as a "third culture kid," our hosts dive into fascinating discussions about Canadian multiculturalism, the concept of being a "freeloader" younger sibling with fewer parental expectations, and the privilege of being able to opt in or out of Korean culture as needed. The conversation touches on topics like Hong Kong's changing identity, the evolution of the "Hell Joseon" mentality in Korea, and how different immigrant communities form their identities abroad.If you're interested in understanding the nuances of Korean Canadian identity compared to Korean American, exploring how Canada's multicultural foundation differs from America's melting pot, or hearing thoughtful perspectives on navigating between cultures, tune in to hear Daniel, Jun, and Byeong discuss all this and more!

Sylvia Yu Friedman, an award winning author, keynote speaker, tv host, journalist and advisor to ultra high net worth families, discusses two major pivotal moments in her life - her near death experience investigating the human trafficking underworld, and her divorce. Both of the experiences led her to to deep inner work, develop more empathy and compassion, and find her true purpose in life of helping marginalised and exploited people.Sylvia mentioned that her new book "Fearless" is being released on October 29th. She has been busy promoting the book and is planning a series of launch events and speaking engagements to share its message of empowering women to overcome fears and reach their full potential.She further shares how growing up as a Korean-Canadian was challenging, asa she felt like she didn't fully belong in either culture. This experience of being "in the middle" actually became a superpower, helping her develop strong communication and cross-cultural skills.Sylvia's interest in the issue of human trafficking and forced prostitution was sparked at a young age when she learned about the experiences of Korean "comfort woman" during WWII. This led her to dedicate much of her career to investigating and exposing these atrocities, and advocating for survivors.To manage the intensity of her work and busy schedule, Sylvia shared that she relies on self-care practices like massage, exercise, and spending time in nature. She also finds great joy and energy from being around positive, encouraging people and having fun, even amidst difficult work.###Exciting news on my front: Season 4 is supported by the iconic Danish shirt brand BRITT SISSECKPlease use my code SHIFTHAPPENS at checkout for 20% off your first purchase.*Valid on full price items only.###To learn more about my guest, please visit her social media pages and websites:LinkeIn: Sylvia's ProfileInstagram: @sylviamatt.yfWebsite: Sylvia Yu Friedman  Book: Fearless by Penguin Random House SEATo learn more about SHIFT HAPPENS, click here To learn more about Claudia's business Curated Conversations and her Salons in New York, Zurich and Berlin, click hereYou can also connect with Claudia on Instagram @shifthappens.podcast and LinkedIn at ClaudiaMahlerNYCThis podcast is created, produced and hosted by Claudia Mahler.Social Media support Magdalena Reckendrees

The FBI announced on Thursday that they believe a former Gwinnett County resident and lab owner who allegedly violated his pre-trial release while facing fraud charges in New Orleans may be back in the Atlanta area, and they are asking for help to find him. Federal officials said Khalid Ahmed Satary was indicted on several charges in the New Orleans-based United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana in September 2019. He was one of 35 people indicted at that time for their involvement in a scheme where about $2.1 billion in claims were filed with Medicare for fraudulent cancer gene tests for elderly people. A warrant for Satary's arrest was issued on Nov. 23 for the pre-trial release violation. The FBI field office in Miami is leading the search for Satary, but anyone who knows where he is located can contact any FBI office, including the one in Atlanta. At the time of the 2019 indictment, federal officials called it one of the largest health care fraud schemes they have ever seen. The charges from the case were spread across five federal court districts in Louisiana, Georgia and Florida. Satary, in particular, is facing the following charges: conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud; health care fraud; conspiracy to defraud the United States and to pay and receive illegal health care kickbacks; and conspiracy to launder monetary instruments. Satary was running Clio Laboratories, which was located in the Gwinnett Progress Center on Hurricane Shoals Road, when the indictment came down. In addition to the Atlanta area, other places the FBI said Satary may have headed to include: Houston, Texas; Delray Beach, Fla.; and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Gwinnett County police are looking for a motive after a man was stabbed to death at a Norcross area extended stay in the wee hours of Wednesday morning. Fifty-year-old Duluth resident Marvin Hollie was arrested for the stabbing, which left Tyler Summerour, 28, dead. Hollie was charged with aggravated assault, malice murder and felony murder. Police said they were called to the Norcross Extended Stay, located at 2250 Pelican Way, shortly after 3:20 a.m. Wednesday. Valle said the reason for the stabbing is unknown, and homicide detectives are exploring all motives. Police are asking anyone with information to share in the case to contact Gwinnett detectives at 770-513-5300.  Harbins Elementary School teacher Melissa Barth was recently named a 2023 Don Cargill STEM Scholars recipient. The award, sponsored by the Georgia Youth Science and Technology Centers, recognizes educators for their thoughtful engagement with students, and creating imaginative classroom lessons that teach and support science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Barth, one of only 23 educators from around the state and the only educator from Gwinnett County selected to receive the award said she was humbled by the recognition. The GYSTC is a private, not-for-profit educational organization. Its mission is to increase interest in and enthusiasm for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics as subjects for serious study, particularly among elementary and middle school teachers, students, and parents in typically underserved areas in Georgia. Barth says she's passionate about STEM because it engages students. It was an easy decision for the Aurora Theatre to bring “Kim Convenience” to the Lawrenceville Arts Center's Metro Waterproofing Main Stage from Jan. 19 to Feb. 19. “We loved this play because it is about a hard-working family who own a small business,” Jon Carr, the Aurora Theatre's director of marketing, said. “Many Gwinnett stories start that way. Then combine that with the universal themes in the show: The struggle of keeping your loved ones together, the balance of work and family. “Kim's Convenience,” an award-winning comedic play that evolved into a hit series on both Canadian TV and Netflix, centers on Appa Kim, played by James Yi, who runs the family business from behind the counter at Kim's Convenience in Toronto. He provides his customers with wisdom and history lessons along with their snacks. But Mr. Kim is presented with a substantial offer by big-city developers to sell them his store so they can close it, which would yield him a substantial profit but also end a business that's been in his family for years. It's up to Kim and his wife, played by Yingling Zhu, to decide if they want to take the cash or turn down the offer by convincing their adult children Janet (Caroline Donica) and Jung (Ryan Vo) to keep the store in Korean-Canadian family's name by following in their father's footsteps. “Kim's Convenience” was a huge hit at the Toronto Fringe Festival in 2011, where the play by Ins Choi completed a sold-out run en route to winning the Patron's Pick Award. The show was such a big hit that it was picked by Netflix in 2020.  When it comes to his profession and his country, Dacula native Will Hinton's aim is true. Hinton, 26, has a unique position in military hierarchy as a member of the elite Army Marksmanship Unit, which numbers about 15 soldiers. And with his sharp shooting, Hinton has the opportunity this summer to earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic team. Competing in bunker trap, Hinton — who in 2022 has been ranked No. 5 in the world — had an excellent year. He won the ISSF President's Cup in Men's Trap and was on the ISSF World Championship Team in Men's Skeet at a competition in Cairo, Egypt, and he took the silver medal in men's trap at the Shotgun National Championship in July in Hillsdale, Michigan. Perhaps most importantly, Hinton snagged one of two U.S. Olympic Quotas at the 2022 CAT Games in November in Lima, Peru. As a result, he'll compete for one of two spots on Team USA for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games (in Paris) at the Olympic Trails, set for May 2023 back in Hillsdale. The Olympic Games would be a fitting competition for Hinton, who grew up shooting with his father, whom he said is “a big bird hunter.” He began shooting competitively as a teenager and transitioned from team shooting to individual performances with the National Sporting Clays Association. Stone Mountain Park is hosting its first Lunar New Year Festival and park officials it will be the largest one in North America. Taking place Jan. 20-22 and 27-29, the celebration will feature cultural craft activities, storytelling, puppetry, dance and drum exhibitions, parades, a new Drone Show and a new Light Show along with other cultural elements.

Anthony Shim (Daughter) directed, wrote, edited, produced, and acted in Riceboy Sleeps, the staggering coming of age film that screens at the 2022 Vancouver International Film Festival. The dramatic feature tells the story of a South Korean immigrant and single mom, So-young, who is raising her son Dong-hyun in the Vancouver suburbs in the 1990s. So-young desperately wants to instill a sense of pride in the boy. In turn, he only wants to be considered “Canadian” in hopes of avoiding bullying at school. As Dong-hyun grows older, his frustrations over knowing nothing about his father are only exasperated when So-young introduces a surrogate patriarch into his life. A cruel twist of fate sends the pair back to South Korea, where all will be revealed about the family's history. The film was shot in Canada and South Korea and had its world premiere at the venerable 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, where it was awarded the Platform Prize. Riceboy Sleeps explores the high cost that many immigrants pay – emotionally, spiritually, physically, and culturally – while striving to build their lives in Canada's so-called multicultural utopia. In this contemplative conversation, Anthony Shim reflects on the real-life events that led to Riceboy Sleeps, and how his identity as a Korean Canadian informs his work.

Kim's Convenience is a Canadian sitcom that first aired in 2016. The show, which was based on a 2011 play of the same name depicts the lives of a Korean Canadian family who run a small convenience store. By the show's 3rd season the show had gained distribution outside of just its home country and was now available internationally through Netflix where its full 5 season run is still available for streaming.

Rex and Youie turn their attentions to the female leads in the book, the movie, the play, and the musical. It's a little confusing but in all mediums it's Maya and Terra, but only in the movie it's Maya and Stephanie. Youie asks Rex why Terra's name was changed to Stephanie and the clue to the answer lies with Sandra Oh, the well-known Korean-Canadian actress who starred in Grey's Anatomy following her break in the movie Sideways. Youie asks Rex about why he came up with the names ‘Maya' and ‘Terra' and then Rex goes onto explain their psychology as characters, again referencing Jung (I don't know about you, but I'm starting to think I need to read all 20 volumes of Jung's work!). Rex then explains how the roles of Maya and Terra were shrunk a little for the movie from the book but then how he chose to expand and deepen their roles in the play and then subsequently the Musical (out soon!). We then deal with our first two questions from our readers, including one that leaves Rex stumped. He actually gets lost for words, for real! The other letter has led Rex and I to create a very special project that we can't wait to tell you about. The word of the podcast is an almost unpronounceable 'enantiodromia'.

We broke this conversation up in to two parts, with the first focusing on fire ecology/regimes in and around Banff, as well as some of the prescribed fire initiatives Jane has led in the park (and a whole lot more).Stay tuned for the second half of our conversation with Jane, which will be published later next week. We also want to give a big shout out to our new sponsor, Mystery Ranch Backpacks.

If I were to share what the next few years of her life looked in a synopsis, it’d go a little something like this: Ji took on the weight of the world and the responsibility to create big, systemic change // she launched The Tipping Point Mental Health Society // the theme of workaholism, overcommitment, and mental health overwhelm resurfaced for her in the entrepreneurial world // with her life at stake, Ji knew something had to change // Ji combined disciplined self-care with personal development and created a plan to change her life // she now helps others do the same. We talk about… What a given is versus a gift Finding appreciation and gratitude for life after suicide attempts Living with complex PTSD and intergenerational trauma The mediocrity of the entrepreneurial hustle (and why that’s not the only way) When healing becomes a performance Knowing your significance and also knowing your smallness How she practices day-to-day self-care and self-compassion The fine line between resilience and burning out: “are you driven by fear or by love?”   WHO IS JI-YOUN KIM?
