Hey, I’m 은상.
It’s pronounced Eun-Sang, which means sharing grace.
But feel free to call me Mike.
I’m a Korean-American writer who tells stories by connecting unlikely dots to form big ideas that solve problems.
I’ve performed Beethoven trios, surfed giants off the California coast, demolished an upright piano with a sledgehammer at midnight, taught at one of the most innovative schools in the world, and trekked the legendary Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
But what excites me most?
Doing well in life for the friends and fam.
Setting a good example for my nieces.
Representing my community.
Forever learning as a student of the game.
Creating fun, powerful, and effective work with a wild tribe of creatives.
The top 10 books in my office.
The top 10 books in my heart.





















Dear Education,
Thanks for the 5 years of great, good, bad, and ugly.
With love,
Mike Cho
