Ep.45: Alex Kim Heads to South Korea

The Spark Podcast

We first had Alex Kim on The Spark in July of 2022 - go back and listen to episode 31 if you haven’t already.

Last time we talked, we delved into the incredible work he’s doing to get the BIPOC community outside with Here Montana. To this day, it is one of our most listened-to and engaged-with episodes. Not just because of the work he’s doing with Here Montana, but also because of his personal story and what he shared with us about his own identity as a Korean-American.

There are a lot of people who share his identity and experience and are seeking community around it. We believe they found it in his episode. So, when we heard that Alex is headed to visit South Korea for the very first time - the place where his family is from, we thought it would be powerful to capture his thoughts as he gets ready to set out on such a personal trip.

Take a listen to hear Alex speak candidly about the exciting new chapter he’s beginning in his life that coincides with this monumental trip, and explore with him as we discuss what we move forward with in our lives and what we leave behind - all with the knowing that we before we try and heal others, we have to heal ourselves.

When Alex returns, he’s going to sit back down with us in a part two to this episode, where we’ll capture all the stories he’ll have to tell.

In the meantime, follow along with Alex on Instagram @atkpics and keep up with the work he’s doing with Here Montana @here_montana.
