Welcome to The Curious Ahjuma podcast.  I’m your host Shinhong.  I’m a 40-something Ahjuma, which is the Korean word for…ole Korean lady.  But this podcast isn’t about getting old.  It’s about curiosity.  Actually, about embracing curiousity.  I’m curious about a lot of things but for most of my life, I’ve shooed my curiosity away like it was frivolous.  What I’m realizing lately though is that that’s a big mistake.  So I’m finally letting myself be curious.  Especially about people.  I’m curious about your story of resilience, empowerment, suffering, triumph.  How did you get there and why? Join me as I interview different people to hear their unique stories and let’s build a community of curious minds.
