#210: From Asian Masculinity to his Sobriety Journey w/ Kevin Kreider

Kevin Kreider is an Actor, Speaker, and Founder and CEO of Sans by Taejin Beverage Inc and Taejin Entertainment LLC. Starting in the fitness industry, he was signed with one of NYC's most prestigious modeling agencies. He left Philly in 2008 to navigate his way in entertainment as a Korean American adoptee. In 2014, the stress and non-stop nature of the modeling industry took a toll on his body, and Kevin was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata. He took a few years off, got sober in 2015, and took a leap of faith by moving to Los Angeles. There he was offered a role in Netflix's international hit, "Bling Empire," the first all-Asian and Asian American reality show.
