June Pai | Director of International Sales @ Manduka

About this video

This episode features a speaker named June who shares her personal journey from growing up in Seoul in a patriarchal society to immigrating to the US and eventually building an international business division at Manduca, a yoga company. She reflects on how she navigated identity struggles, societal expectations, and periods of being lost, ultimately emphasizing the importance of self-discovery over conforming to external perceptions.

Key takeaways

• Being lost and trying different paths is acceptable; clarity often comes through exploration rather than a single ‘aha moment’
• Societal expectations and patriarchal norms can pressure people to abandon their authentic interests, but recognizing this pattern allows for course correction
• Having mentors who believe in you and assign you responsibility can instill accountability and drive you to exceed expectations
