Ben Chung - Changing the World through Dance (member of Kinjaz, Kaba Modern, and Jabbawockeez)

The SocialRay Podcast: Stories of Entrepreneurs & Influencers

In this episode I talk to Ben Chung who is a cofounder of Kinjaz, cofounder of Hitbeats app, and founder of the Chosun clothing brand. He used to be a member of the Jabbawockeez back in the day when they changed the world through dance when they won the America's Got Talent show.

He shares his unconventional journey as an Korean American of making a living through dance and turning his love for dancing into a full-time business. He started off learning Kpop dance moves, performed at his church talent performance, and eventually ended up joining dance groups that have made an international impact in the dance community by showing that dance teams can be the centerpiece of a show instead of just being back up dancers for a famous artist or musician.

Ben shares how his curiosity and ambition has led him down a path that he ended up creating his own path that doesn't fit the mold of getting a degree and a job after school. He shares how it's important to learn the things that you are curious about, discover what you're passionate about, and keep pursuing your path and calling in life.

Ben shares how it's important to take risks to learn the things that you are passionate about and the path to making money will open up for you since you can make money doing anything nowadays.

Hope Ben's story encourages you to find your own path in life, forge your own future, and live a life with no regrets. We regret the things that we didn't do more than the things that we did when we grow old. You can checkout Ben on Instagram @btek_benchung and his dance group @kinjaz on Instagram!
