  • Summary

  • Korea - land of K-drama, K-pop and delicious food. But there's more to it than meets the eye! I’ve met so many interesting people here in Seoul, doing so many incredible things! So I decided that I wanted to pick their wonderful brains, to learn more about them and the cool businesses they’re creating here in Korea and beyond! So, I’ll be interviewing various people (foreigners and Koreans) who are working in the social and sustainability entrepreneurship sphere here, hearing about their highs and lows and what it took to get to where they are now - basically how and why they just started!

    Today we're joined by Jay Park from The Garrison!

We stayed in touch and he's an incredible entrepreneur in the Seoul Startup ecosystem. He knows everyone and everyone knows him - and now so will you!
