Figuring It Out with Andrew Andrew A

In this episode, I sat down with my first guest, Simon Kim. He is the founder of the brand, Keep It Wholesome.
Simon's been making content on TikTok for over two years and he's developed a large following since then (+1.1 million). He's also branched out onto other platforms like YouTube and he has his own podcast, Voice Memos with Simon Kim, where he talks about positive mental health topics.
Simon and I discuss the ups and downs of being a creator, finding your "voice", managing your mental health, finding inspiration and so much more. We hope you enjoy. :)

In this episode, I talk about my past experience of being lawyer and how I felt transitioning out of that job. In particular, I discuss how letting go of something does not mean the past was a waste. Because every experience enriches our story and turns us into people we never would have been otherwise.

In this episode, I talk about how the journey is more important than the destination. In particular, I discuss how if we aren’t enjoying our journey or if it isn’t fulfilling in itself, then we will waste most of our life. Because most of our life is the journey. Most of our life is the process of getting from “over here” to “over there.”

In this episode, I talk about the tendency to overthink awkward or negative experiences with others. In particular, I discuss how these experiences should not be given more weight in our minds than they deserve. Because when we overly fixate on them, we solve nothing and we tend to neglect the positive experiences in our lives.
