We chat to Mike Kim, he is a man who after graduating from Cal State University Northridge in 2015 with a Communication Studies degree and taking jobs he despised, he decided to pursue his dreams at the age of 29 in 2019.  

Now in 2022, after Covid hit the LA comedy scene, he decided to go hard in the paint with social media and in 4 weeks, his TikTok audience grew from 5,000 followers to 129,000 followers. Here is an overview of what we discussed:
