BD on "AMERICANS IN CHINA"

To mark the one-year anniversary of my podcast, I'm working on a special live event - details coming soon - as well as preparing to spill a few other pieces of news. So it was nice to see this episode of "Americans in China" that Ioana Gomoi directed that talks a bit about that:

Thanks to Ioana and her team for the fun piece. More soon!

MIKE SHAW: From Boston to Beijing

#029 - From Boston to Beijing | Mike Shaw

This week’s episode features Mike Shaw. Mike is a vegan PR professional from Boston who is fascinated by the extraordinary potential of the global expat community, and he aims to do something about it. In this episode we talk a lot about what it’s like to be here bearing witness to China’s ascendancy at this historic moment in history, and how global people like us can find our way in and find a purpose. As expats, we are at the leading edge of that, which is not always without its growing pains, but as wiser men than me have said: you buy the ticket, you take the ride.

We also touch on a few more esoteric topics, like the rise of the petro-yuan and the unique place that Boston has in the psyche of former Bostonians, withersoever dispersed around the globe. And towards the end, Mike shares the very cool love story of how he met and finally came together with his wife across three continents. It’s something special, and I think the more romantically inclined among you will especially appreciate it. Ultimately, this episode is a love letter to Boston and it is also a testimony to the incredible diversity of China, and how much Mike - and I - love being here and carving out our own new paths in ways that we really couldn’t do anywhere else in the whole world. Enjoy.

Brendan Davis interviewed on "12 Minute Convos w/ Engel Jones"

Podcaster and entrepreneur Engel Jones (https://twelveminuteconvos.com/) interviewed me for his fun, very short podcast "12 Minute Convos w/ Engel Jones". Engel is from the island nation of Trinidad & Tobago and has a very unique format for his show. In a (slightly longer than 12 minute) discussion, I ramble about my podcast inspirations ("WTF with Marc Maron", "The Tim Ferriss Show", "Rune Soup", and "How I Built This, with Guy Raz" in particular), meditation, "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" by The Ramones, prenatal memories, fireflies at night in the American South, and much much more.

We actually don't even really talk too much about China, now that I think about it. Wow.

Anyway, it was big fun for me, and if you check it out, I hope you enjoy it! Search it in your favorite podcatcher, or listen / directly download via the links below.
