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!

FEI WU: From Beijing to Boston
#028 - From Beijing to Boston | Fei Wu
My guest this week is Fei Wu, a “reverse laowai” who made the move FROM China TO the US. Fei is a native-born Beijinger who has now been living in the US for 17 years. Fei and I had a great talk. We discuss her origins in Beijing, her move to Maine to finish high school - where she became both the captain of the boys' hockey team AND the prom queen - and then her move to Boston for college and the cool life and business she’s built for herself there ever since. We also dive deep into WHY we both love podcasting, and oh, yeah: besides all of that, Fei is a third degree black belt, proving that not all podcasters are desk jockeys like myself. Links to Fei’s World and more are in the show notes below and in the blog post as always.
This episode also introduces our NEW sponsor, AWA Health! AWA Health is a unique facility, the first of its kind in Beijing, that among other specialities offers anti-stress flotation therapy.
