#34 Thomas Kim: From Artillery Squad Leader to Freelance Sales Consultant

In 2021, Thomas was leading artillery squads in the South Korean military. In 2025, he's leading sales strategies for international clients as a freelance sales consultant. Careers are weird, right?

In this episode, Thomas shares how he transitioned from military discipline to tech sales hustle, managing teams, cold calling in public, and developing market strategies across APAC. Now, he's embracing the uncertainty of funemployment, building his consultancy, and figuring out what’s next—one meditation session at a time.

We talk about navigating career shifts, building confidence through rejection, and why being lost might just be the best place to start something new.

New episodes are out every Wednesday, so until then – Stay Weird and Stay Ambitious, my friends✌🏾
