Shownotes
Things can go wrong and they usually will. As prepared or as positive and optimistic as anyone can be with a professional project, what do you do when plans just fall apart? What do you do when stakes are high, technical difficulties come at you one after another, key players fall through, budgets get strained, relationships get rocky, and your frazzled team is counting on you to help pull through the chaos? In this episode, Minji shares some key lessons learned from over a decade of producing live events, project management, & leading teams of people. After a particularly challenging Kollaboration production wrapped, she provides a debrief of how to plan, execute & stay flexible when things don't turn out the way you expected. And how even in the middle of stressful situations, you can find a way to power through it and gain valuable insight on how to become wiser, savvier, and more effective moving forward. What does not kill us makes us stronger, yall.

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR
"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting.
