Bobby Hundreds (Bobby Kim) is the founder of the streetwear brand The Hundreds and bestselling author of This is Not a T-Shirt. The Hundreds was recognized as one of the top 5 greatest street brands in 2011 by Complex, and is worn by high-profile celebrities such as Jay-Z, Jamie Foxx, Jonah Hill, and more.

Besides making an appearance as our first South Korean guest, I also had a blast chatting with Bobby.

We talked about:

South Korean culture
The origins of how The Hundreds started as an HTML blog
How it grew to over 1M visitors (which is huge in the 2000-era)
How to build a loyal community (tactical!)
The feud with Pharrell
Why Bobby went from being an anonymous content creator to sharing his identity
Standing up yourself (and changing the narrative for Asian males)
Giving back
