His name was johann or iota and as you can imagine, I was understandably intrigued.

I stopped for coffee and he asked me if I'd like to hang out for a day.

I took him up on it.

He shared his story with me and I in turn shared it with everybody else.

The story of a man who cast off the shackles of his 9 to 5 in the city to live a life based in the simplicity of chasing his passions.

A man who many see is quite possibly one of the most fortunate people on earth.

If you haven't watched that one yet, pause right here and go give that one to watch first.

It'll give much needed context and hopefully make this video a lot more fun.

But at the end of our very brief time together there were still so many unanswered questions like how did he live there?

Was it expensive?

What exactly is his job?

How did kids get to a school that was buried in the mountains?

In fact why would there even be a school buried in the mountains to begin with?

And the list goes on and on.

So I went back Madison, uh huh uh, the moon, not only many person years on that, she was just now one of my biggest questions right out of the gate.

Something I couldn't stop thinking about for the last year was why, why this location?

Why was there a school buried in the middle of the mountains?

This place is not what many would describe as easily accessible even by car.

The roads are narrow, there are almost no major towns nearby at best a few houses and villages scattered in the nearby mountains.

So why here?

Oh no, you're quite a you already.

Yeochan school is filled with music gear coffee year and everything alike most of which is not exactly cheap now he does run the place as a hostile but by his own admission doesn't drive a lot of money from that side of things.

And the only things I've ever actually seen him do our roast coffee, make coffee and play music.

So the question hangs in the air of what exactly does he do for work?

I asked him if he wouldn't mind sharing a bit of insight into how he can afford this lifestyle and furthermore with a school secluded in the mountains.

Does he worry at all about thieves or security?

Mhm imma not like Hussein, whoa And no my energy coming out tonight.
