081 – S3 E18 – “Never, ever follow the money.” - Mijin

homeroom is an international podcast bridging the education gap between the classroom and the living room by starting conversations impacting the next generation.In this episode, I speak with Mijin, a designer and entrepreneur who has lived and worked in Korea, Taiwan, France, Shanghai, and the United States—about her hard-earned lessons in parenting. We talk about the childrearing methods she inherited from her family and culture, and the situations that called for her to find her own way. We also discuss the mistakes she’s made along the way, the people who’ve inspired her to be a better parent, and what we should all keep front and center in our minds to raise successful and thriving children. This is a conversation that has made me cry multiple times—as it reminded me of the challenges my own mom faced as a designer and entrepreneur navigating a foreign land to fend for the both of us.Check out our conversation, join our ongoing discourse on social media, and subscribe for more. https://www.instagram.com/homeroomed—Educated in Taiwan and Paris, Mijin is a designer and entrepreneur having operated successful businesses in Shanghai and Korea for 30+ years.—Rée is a visual storyteller and educator exploring the consequences that mass education has on creativity, identity, and interpersonal connection. https://www.instagram.com/theinterdisciplinarian
