We are going to run a little experiment for Ness Notes. For the last month, I have been running around with a tiny voice recorder interviewing folks I know who have been living their bliss. While Pat Solomon found many famous people (authors, actors, athletes, etc.) for his “Finding Joe the Movie,” I decided to take to the streets and talk to some extraordinary “every day people.” If anything, this project has gotten me wondering about the story behind the faces I see on a daily basis.
Here’s the story of Nae & Jodel.
Audio Intro to the Nae and Jodel Story
Here are some of the things I found interesting:
- This couple represents an interesting contrast in culture and countries. Nae is from Cambodia and Jodel is from California
- Both came from economically challenged environments.
- Both went to a private school (Nae a Christian school, Jodel an all boys school).
- Both came from tight-knit families.
- Both found freedom, strength, passion and, who they were through sports.
- They both have a passion for Martial Arts and mentoring others ;Â )
