Potluck returns by cooking up a storm with Korean journalist, Mina Sohn. In fact, journalist doesn't quite cut it as a descriptor for Mina's inspiring range of skills and passions.
Scott & Drago sit down to trace Mina's amazing professional and personal journey through the metaphor of language - 5 of them in fact!

1) Where it all began: the language of mass media and traditional broadcasting, from Mina's days as a KBS news and prime-time anchor

2) Spain: how she fell in love with a lifestyle, forged her own path, and published a best-selling book that opened hearts and minds in Korea and beyond

3) Korea meets the world: the experience of the new world of digital content, news and education through her roles with Huffington Post Korea and Alain de Botton's 'The School of Life'

4) Out of body: how a near death experience in Hawaii put old habits to bed, and brought fresh perspectives to life, particularly around a quest to promote mindfulness and personal well-being

5) Embracing social: reflecting on Mina's recent focus on sharing her life and connecting with a community of followers in a more candid and personal way

Plus some thoughts on how to get a better flavour of Korean culture.
