Episode 16: Embracing authenticity and storytelling with Natasha Jung
Do you have a story you want to tell?
I've known Natasha Jung since she went by "NJ" in university. I was even one of the first writers for Cold Tea Collective. So getting her on the podcast felt a little surreal, in the best way.
Natasha is the Founder, CEO and Executive Producer of Cold Tea Collective, a media outlet and multicultural agency built on honest, community-driven storytelling for the Asian diaspora. Nearly a decade in, Cold Tea has gone from rooftop story nights with snacks to red carpets at the Golden Globes.
In this episode, we get into:
Why she walked away from a "successful" corporate marketing career
Why Asian Canadian stories don't get told as often as they should
What authenticity means when your story isn't polished yet
Her ADHD diagnosis, and why she's grateful for the way her brain works
How her definition of success keeps changing
If you've ever felt like your story isn't "interesting enough" to tell, this one's for you.
