Jimmy Shin (Amazon special "Wok of Shame") comes by the yard to talk about the reasons behind the obsessive drive that has made him one of the most prolific bookers and comedy show producers in Hollywood. Reasons that start with the pressure from being the only son of Korean immigrant parents desperate to give Jimmy a chance for success in America, which simultaneously propelled him into law school and simultaneously a life of crime and drug and alcohol addiction that turned his world upside down and set him on the unlikely path of standup comedian. Jimmy is an interesting guy and his story is a testament to the universe giving people second, third, and fourth chances when they follow their dream. Find him on @iamjimmyshin. ENJOY!
