Why Bobby Gave Up A Successful Career In Law To Print T-Shirts - Ft. Bobby "Hundreds" Kim (Creative Director/Co-Founder of The Hundreds) | SPOTLIGHT

For today's Spotlight Episode, I have none other than Bobby "Hundreds" Kim, the Creative Director/Co-Founder of the iconic LA streetwear brand, The Hundreds.

In this episode, we discuss the following:

Growing up in Riverside and not quite fitting in

Asian Americans killing it in every industry, but we don't hear enough about them

Being told he would never make it as an artist by his parents and teachers

Deciding to go to law school to make his parents proud

The pivotal moment Bobby decided to forego a successful career as a lawyer to make T-shirts

Having no regrets at 40 years old

How different his life would've been if he didn't go on to go all-in with The Hundreds

How he was able to overcome all the naysayers and those who didn't believe in what he was trying to do

The first time Bobby's father realized how successful Bobby was (book signing)

How vital media is to Korean culture

How becoming a father made him more proud to be Asian American
