GODSEND Raymond Chi

Apologies GS Fam, but better late than never. Starting 2021 season with a conversation with Atlanta’s #1 Super Lawyer, the Hypebeast attorney, Edward F. Kim. Eddie grew up primarily in the U.S., moving around from Alabama to even spending some time overseas in S. Korea for school until he was eventually forcibly sent back to the States to Atlanta, Georgia to live with his uncle and aunt like the "Fresh Prince". He would go on to face major life challenges, including the unfortunate sudden passing of his father during his teenage years. After some lost rebellious years, Eddie was able to turn things around by realizing his potential, and instead of pursuing a writing career, he further challenged himself towards becoming an attorney as his late father had always hoped for. Through the support and encouragement of his family and mentors in his life, Eddie was able to take initiative for his future and credits God’s presence for his success. Along with his extreme work ethic and dedication to growing his own firm into one of the top personal injury law firms in Atlanta, Eddie continues to share his story as a promising YouTube personality, utilizing the platform to further share his brand and his own personal interests and goals to leave a legacy beyond the legal sector through various forms of effective networking.
Thank you to Eddie 형님 for your humility and for being an inspiration for anyone facing adversity or complacency. Truly admire your desire to never settle and your willingness to be transparent in your faith and business. You could easily settle and continue on with your life comfortably running your practice, but instead have chosen to challenge the industry norms and yourself beyond your occupation. Hope everyone can appreciate someone who takes initiative and truly does not let their title or job limit what they are able to do despite social or institutional norms. Carry the hell on Mr. Edward Fenomenal Kim. #KIMLAW #$HITHAPPENS

In this episode, Ray gets to have his first one on one conversation with a beautiful soul named Christy Cash. Christy grew up in LA but most definitely had to move around at a young age eventually leading to complications and her deciding to drop out of high school. However, this setback did not ultimately stop her from manifesting her hopes and dreams. Eventually Christy pursued a career in the jewelry business, eventually becoming a certified Gemologist and “Grillz” Specialist in order to revamp the market for “Grillz”. In doing so, this “BAUS”, inspiring woman has been able to prove hard work truly pays off and the importance of taking massive action and change in order to manifest the positive differences you want to see or make in life.
Thank you to Christy for being a testament of someone who is always seeking personal growth and development in order to ultimately leave this world a better place. Understand the importance of taking full responsibility for our own respective situations and owning up to them in order to make that necessary change instead of blaming the world and outside factors. The world/universe is not against you. Christy’s story of vulnerability, perseverance, and refusing to give up and never settling is inspiring enough, but even more admirable is her humility in truly understanding her bigger purpose in her life that goes beyond her own personal benefit.

In this episode, Ray (your host) gets to catch up with one of his 동생s (younger sibling/friend in Korean), Janette Ok, who also grew up in sunny LA and clearly knew/found her purpose earlier than most. Her efforts have paid off as she is now a growing social influencer, content creator, and entrepreneur in the beauty and fashion category. What is even more unique and admirable about Janette is her ability to implement into her brand/content, INMYSEAMS, the transparency of her Christian faith, which she proudly puts on full display for her growing followers/audience.
Be encouraged and understand age is only a number and not another life restriction or disability. Janette is a true testament of remaining faithful and disciplined. Through her vulnerability Janette is able to share how she is able to remain grounded and thrive in an industry where leaders in the space often avoid showing any insecurities and face the daily pressures of producing content and portraying an image/product that is most attractive to consumers in order to remain relevant.

In this episode, Ray (your host) gets to interview another local Angeleno, social media/digital content creator guru, Kevyn Fong, who went from working for “Corporate Hollywood” as an agent to eventually leaving in order to focus and invest in himself. By applying the expertise and knowledge that he gained during his tenure in Hollywood into his own projects, Kevyn has been able to find better balance in his life and now he is actively pursuing his own goals while also leading a team of creators. As a proud homosexual and member of the LGBTQ community, Kevyn is able to provide his perspective on the sensitive subject of sexuality and religion.

Prepare for a controversial conversation that is necessary for communication to be built among communities of different faith and backgrounds. Through Kevyn’s authentic transparency in his opinions and own personal beliefs, please appreciate his willingness to speak on a subject that most individuals may not be comfortable sharing or speaking on. Hopefully from this conversation we can all better understand each other and get closer to being on the “same page”.

In this episode, Ray (your host) gets the opportunity to not only meet but connect with a local LA legend known as the “Hollywood Trainer”, Mr. Danny Joe of DannyJoeFitness. Originally born in South Korea, Danny came to the US with his family as a child, in what we learn to be very humble beginnings, but nevertheless, a crucial factor into shaping Danny to becoming the humble man he is today. Danny not only discuss his life experiences including his victories, but he also graciously allows us to address the major obstacles he’s faced during his career in health and wellness (body building) including the criticism and false claims made about him. Despite the negative public notion or doubters, Danny’s transparency in his faith and peace with himself, is a humbling reminder that true happiness comes first from true peace with yourself.

Danny’s authentic nature in his beliefs and lifestyle have always allowed him to stay grounded, but he remains relentless in his pursuit to maximizing his life and his own potential as a solider of Christ. Danny’s story and pursuit of true peace and happiness goes deeper than what the world has to offer. Enjoy as we hear from this GODSEND.

In this episode, Ray (your host) gets to meet with Co-Founder & Head Chef of Kobunga: Korean Grill, Stephen Cho, who Ray has actually known since Kindergarten.

Stephen was born and raised in LA, but while completing his undergrad at NYU in New York, he grew his passion for cooking and hospitality. Initially starting out with small private open tables where Stephen would serve up some amazing slow-cooked BBQ such as his infamous beef brisket. After graduation, Stephen made his way back to the West Coast, where he continued his underground cooking ventures until he eventually teamed up with his partner and opened up his own restaurant on the USC Campus Village with plans of expansion.

Although Stephen is known for being a great listener, here he is able to share insights and thoughts on the Food & Beverage/Hospitality industry and his overall journey of perseverance and stamina in faith to remain consistent in reaching his goals through his gifts and passion for food and hospitality. Today with 2020’s health concerns over COVID-19, Stephen discusses how plans for Kobunga dramatically changed, and how he and his partner have been able to overcome the economic burden of the virus with proper preparation and quick pivoting and adapting to the changes and restrictions enforced on restaurant businesses in LA.
