#210 Flowing with Randall Park
On this week’s episode of the Bruce Lee Podcast, Shannon had the absolute pleasure of speaking with actor, writer, director and producer Randall Park. You may know Randall from such hits as the ABC sitcom Fresh Off the Boat, or Netflix’s Always Be My Maybe as well as for characters he portrayed in Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp and DC’s Aquaman. Shannon certainly knew Randall’s work but she had never met Randall until they sat down to chat for the podcast, and Shannon feels like she walked away from the conversation with a new friend. Randall is a warm and introspective soul and Shannon is so grateful for his vulnerability and willingness to talk Bruce Lee, philosophy and life freely with her. Listen in and you’ll hear what Shannon feels is a really easeful and lovely conversation that we can all connect with as they talk about, among other things, the challenges of being oneself with the amazing Randall Park.
