Ron moved at age 8 to New Zealand from Korea and while a University student he founded Kōrure. In this interview we talk about his memories of arriving in a new country where he did not speak the language, going through difficult times and what he learned from that, the UCE summer startup program and its impact, the business he set up, health and food supplements and Omega 3 and his work on other initiatives including the Whakamana Museum with Michael Mayell about Hemp. I really enjoyed this interview with Ron.
Bonus: At the end we also recorded a small interview which is set 100 years from now in 2119 and we reflect on what we discussed and how the world changed. It's a quirky bonus episode you might enjoy.
