Description

Uzbek in Korea for 11 years. From selling his laptop to pay tuition… to building his own business in South Korea. In this episode of the Evolve Podcast, Leo shares the raw reality of living and working in Korea as a foreigner. From culture shock and being scammed on his first day, to losing his scholarship, working night shifts, sleeping just 6 hours in 3 days, and doing unpaid internships just to survive. He opens up about: • Studying at an international university in Korea • Competing in Korea’s intense education system • Working 20-hour student jobs while maintaining a 4.0+ GPA • Selling his laptop to pay tuition • Building business experience from scratch • Getting fired during COVID • Starting a company in Korea with $1500 • Marriage, family, sacrifice, and independence • Why discipline matters more than motivation This is the real story of what it takes to build a life abroad. If you’ve ever wondered what living in Korea is really like as a foreigner — the pressure, the competition, the loneliness, and the growth — this conversation is for you.
