Flowing with Jon Lee Brody
This week’s guest on our BLF Foundation takeover of the Bruce Lee Podcast for the month of May 2024 is award-winning Korean-American actor and filmmaker, Jon Lee Brody. As an actor Jon has appeared in films like “Star Trek Into Darkness” “Fast and Furious 7” and James Wan’s “Malignant”. His work as a director/writer/producer covers multiple genres and multiple job titles. In 2019, he directed the DC Universe show 'DC Universe All Star Games' making him the first ever Korean-American to direct a tv show for DC Comics. Jon also has a horror podcast with Amazon/Wondery/Morbid Network called “That Was Pretty Scary” which he co-hosts with Freddie Prinze Jr. Jon is also a mental health advocate with a big passion for outreach and erasing the stigma surrounding mental health discussions. When he's not working he enjoys playing xbox and watching movies and tv shows. As of the posting of this podcast, Jon’s beloved and adored Corgi, Shelby, passed away, which was a heart wrenching experience for Jon. He loved that pup and mentioned her on the podcast as we spoke so our hearts go out to Jon and the soul of Shelby as they heal through that transition together.
This conversation with Jon has been a long time coming. We have run in many of the same circles but never had the opportunity to chat and this was an epic convo! Jon was so vulnerable, direct, honest and funny and I look forward to spending more time together with him when we both speak on panels organized by Kulture City called Kulturally Asian where we will discuss breaking down the stigmas around mental health within the Asian community and wherever else the convos take us. Please check out our show notes to find out how to connect with Jon more. I hope you will enjoy our connection as much as I did – in fact, I know you will! So plug in with me and check out my flow with Jon Lee Brody!

Customer Reviews
Kulture City podcast
Thanks for talking to them! I actually learned some incredible new things as well as what Julian shared regarding his culture- autism parenting. Thanks so much 💙
New listener
Just wanted you to know that I have been a fan of Bruce Lee movies for the most basic elements of entertainment.
As I have aged I have found the philosophy is amazing and infused into the movies.
As I have dabbled in martial a martial art, I found it ok to learn the basics but was missing something. I find as I’m older I appreciate the philosophy behind what should be behind the martial art.
I have been trying use this philosophy in general life as I have recently started listening.
Love the knowledge and new view of life.
So much more than just a movie star!
It would be hard to be the child of a famous person, much less one of the stature of a multiple genre-changing icon like Bruce Lee. But with this podcast, Shannon Lee and her co-host Sharon Ann Lee tackle the true legacy of the Little Dragon, his philosophy. And they do it in a way that isn't necessarily "worshipful" of Shannon's famous father, but rather as a study of how the man lived his life and how he applied his philosophy to his day to day living. And most importantly, they give the listener guidance and ideas on how they might adopt his many credos into their every-day lives.
It's important when you're sharing the teachings of someone so much "larger than life" as Bruce Lee to draw us all back into his real life and not just the hype of Hollywood and Hong Kong cinema. As the daughter of Bruce, Shannon is able to show the real man and the real struggles he went through, the steps he took to overcome and learn from his struggles, and the many ways in which he kept his head while all around him were trying to either deify him or tear him down. Her access to resources as his daughter and the head of the Bruce Lee Family Company give her an insight into his life that no one other than her mother Linda has. She openly shares these with all of us each episode as the topic of learning from the triumphs, failures, and everyday life of her father and those around him is discussed and dissected. Both Shannon and Sharon Lee are very insightful and open about his life, their lives, and how the philosophy that Bruce Lee developed for himself and his art have helped and affected them.
I take something away from every episode, and have learned much about myself from Shannon's sharing of her father's life and her own experiences. I look forward to each episode and have even gone back to listen to older episodes again to garner new perspectives as I move through my own life.
This is truly one of the best podcasts on the internet. Thank you!
