About this listen
On her 296th day as Mayor, Joyce Ahn takes us from global sales floors to neighborhood sidewalks in a conversation that unfolds like a close‑up of leadership in action. She recounts late nights launching tech brands, years of volunteer work that pulled her into public service, and the unexpected moment the community asked her to become their voice, a story of quiet conviction that becomes a public calling.
Along the way she wrestles with real stakes: revitalizing an aging Friendship Park, growing Buena Park’s Koreatown as an economic engine, and modernizing public safety, all while balancing the strain of decision‑making and the reward of community moments like CultureFest and youth programs. Listen for practical lessons on civic teamwork, the grit of municipal strategy, and a mayor’s personal promise to leave a safer, stronger city for the next generation.
