ROOTLESS PODCAST

This podcast takes you out around the globe with me on my many adventures to talk to fascinating people with interesting stories. This is not a travel podcast though - don't be fooled! My location will play a part in the topics I will cover but the main goal is to tell the important stories I meet on my nomad adventures in order to create important sustainable social change. I believe journalists can be a catalyst for cultural movements that can make sustainable social change and build stronger communities.

Seoul 3 - Inah Kim un-politically connecting people to North Korea

This episode approaches South Korea’s highly politicised and mystified neighbouring country.

South Korea’s development is an impressive history of exponential growth and hard work, but in the last decade the manufacturing sector has been struggling and the corporate business sector forced to rethink and innovate. This episode’s guest, Reagan, has made a profession out of exactly that, advising, consulting and teaching Korean businesses and students about corporate strategy and innovation.
