It was the first time in my life that nobody cared who my dad was, what I did for a living. You know, so to me, that and that's really led me to this belief of community.
Imagine being on a path to becoming a lawyer, only to switch gears and dive into the unpredictable world of comedy. That's exactly what happened to Jimmy Shin. In this episode of 'Showing Up with Asher Gottesman', Jimmy Shin opens up about his unconventional journey. From his parents' dreams of him becoming a lawyer to getting caught selling marijuana in law school, Jimmy's story is anything but ordinary.
He shares how a friend's encouragement led him to his first open mic, setting him on a new path filled with laughter and challenges. Getting sober wasn't easy for Jimmy, but he found strength in community and the transformative power of transcendental meditation. He also talks about dealing with Bell's Palsy and how it didn't stop him from pursuing his passion.
During the pandemic, Jimmy launched a comedy show at a church's amphitheater, proving that laughter can thrive even in tough times. His comedy special 'Wok of Shame' on Amazon is a testament to his resilience and talent. Through humor and honesty, Jimmy inspires listeners to face their own obstacles and find their community. This episode is a blend of laughs, life lessons, and the importance of showing up for yourself.
