19 - Taking Ownership of Your Life & Pursuing Your Passions ft. Brandon Lee Rookies in the Real World | Advice on Adulting, New York City, and Career Growth
-
- Personal Journals
Has anybody else had an existential crisis—whether it was in college or post college in your early 20s—where you sat back and wondered what the f**k you actually want to do with your life? It’s actually kind of wild to think that after we graduated from high school (and we are babies—just think about all of the dumb decisions you made your senior year of high school and freshman year of college) like, all of a sudden, you’re asked to pick your major—aka decide the general trajectory for the rest of your life. Which is WILD. Who the fuck knows exactly who they are at like 18?
I know way too many people who were coerced into a major they thought was the right choice because their parents told them it was a good idea—it’d set them up for a stable, well paid job out of college. AKA, nursing, PT, kinesiology. But in their heart of hearts, it wasn’t the right fit for them. And then you finish college, or you’re in the middle of a loveless job, and the question hits you like a ton of bricks: “Now what?”
This episode's guest is the crazy talented Brandon Lee. Brandon an action actor, model, and stunt double based out of Los Angeles, CA. He grew up doing Taekwondo his whole life, as his father owns a Taekwondo school. He is a 2019 USA Taekwondo National Gold Medalist for Freestyle Poomsae (forms), a 2019 USA Taekwondo National Team Member, and a Certified Taekwondo Master Instructor from the World Taekwondo Federation. He’s been teaching for 8 years now to all ages. And not too long ago, he moved out to Los Angeles to seriously pursue his career in acting!
