STEVE “CAPTAIN HOFF” HOFFMAN | From Hollywood to Silicon Valley to China
Millions of people in the tech & startup world know Steve Hoffman as “Captain Hoff” from Foundersspace, a leading incubator from Silicon Valley that is now omnipresent throughout China. But very few people know that his FIRST career was as a development executive in Hollywood, and this is the first time Steve’s talked about all this in-depth since beginning his China adventures.
The lessons he's learned from his success shaping startups & stories are invaluable, & applicable regardless of your vocation or location.
I especially love his closing thoughts: “Are you putting your time into the most important things? Given who you are and where you are in your life, what's the most value you can be creating for the people around you and the world around you, and can you focus your energies on that instead of getting distracted by all these other things?”
This was a very fun and special conversation, so I hope you check it out.

BART BAGGETT | Success Secrets of the Rich and Happy
#081 - Success Secrets of the Rich and Happy | BART BAGGETT
Author. Speaker. Personal development guide. A Ted Talker. He’s been on “The Howard Stern Show”, on “Larry King Live”, and for this episode, he’s at my studio in Beijing. Bart Baggett wears and has worn many hats, but perhaps “sherpa” is the one that fits best. His new company is Prism Life Design, his new book is the title of this podcast episode, and his energy is contagious. He does a bit of armchair analysis on me that 1) was pretty accurate, as hot takes go, and 2) instructive as a guide to the right questions to ask to gain some new insights into yourself. In theory. Your mileage may vary - but you’ll never know unless you set aside your ego and try. Enjoy!
