Drink of Choice

A receptionist became a producer, a producer became a showrunner, and a showrunner became a director. Along the way, Sam Gollestani got Sylvester Stallone mad at him and wrote the untold story of what it felt like to be Iranian American on September 11th. That short film won at Cannes — and changed someone else's life. Not getting help sooner was his worst decision. Finding the right person was his best.

Grab a glass. This is Drink of Choice.

Drink of Choice is an interview podcast co-hosted by Sid Kim, restaurateur and entrepreneur, and Han Kim, entertainment lawyer. Every guest arrives with a drink that means something to them, and that drink becomes the doorway into a much larger conversation about their life. Built around Asian and Asian-American voices, artists, creators, chefs, entrepreneurs, and anyone who carries a story worth telling,  Drink of Choice creates a space that is intimate, unhurried, and culturally grounded.

What is Drink of Choice?

Drink of Choice is the pod/vodcast where every conversation starts with a simple question: what is your drink of choice?

Hosted by Sid Kim (@withsidkim) and Han Kim (@han.jddj), we kick things off the same way every time — we ask our guest what drink they chose and what it means to them. The drink is prepared right there in the studio, we raise a glass together, and that's when the real conversation begins.

From there, we let things flow naturally — talking about life, the journey, and what got them to where they are today. Along the way, we ask every guest the same two questions:

What is the best choice you've ever made?
What is the worst choice you've ever made?

No agenda. No script. Just good people, honest stories, and a drink worth toasting to.
