Episode Notes

🎙️ This Korean Life – Episode with Lee Yujin and Dr. Danny Kessler🌊✨

In this powerful and forward-looking episode of This Korean Life, we sit down with Lee Yujin, a 21-year-old ocean enthusiast, instructor, and emerging entrepreneur who is turning her passion into something much bigger. 🌏

With over 5 years of experience in scuba diving, along with surfing and freediving, Yujin’s connection to the ocean runs deep. But this isn’t just about adventure—it’s about identity, purpose, and transformation. 🌊🐠

Now, she’s preparing to launch OLA, a wellness brand that aims to combine ocean-based movement with psychology—offering something far beyond traditional lessons. In this episode, we explore where that idea came from, what she’s building behind the scenes, and the real challenges of creating a business before it even exists. 💡🌿

We also dive into her decision to pursue a Master’s in Psychology at Pepperdine, and why she believes the future of wellness needs stronger scientific grounding. From self-doubt to ambition, Yujin opens up about what it’s like to build something meaningful at such a young age—and what keeps her moving forward. 🎓🚀

This is a story about vision, courage, and creating something new where nothing currently exists.

🎧 Tune in to hear how one idea, inspired by the ocean, could evolve into a completely new kind of wellness experience.
