“Big Fish Side Dish”: Punk Rock | JONATHAN GARRISON

In this inaugural episode of "BIG FISH SIDE DISH"*, Jonathan Garrison and I riff on how punk rock and other hardcore music helped shape our childhoods and changed our life trajectories. A 12-pack of Harbin Beer might've been involved. In a related note, you get to hear how much I curse when I don't pay attention and mind my manners.

ELLIOTT ZAAGMAN | Tech Writing & Leadership Training in China

To lift directly from his LinkedIn, which says it far better than I ever could: Elliott Zaagman is best known as an executive coach, corporate trainer, and writer who focuses on how Chinese leaders and organizations interact with their global employees and the public. He focuses on leadership development, HR, and PR and is both an enthusiastic evangelist for, and honest critic of, China's tech industry.

Elliott is wicked smart and insightful, very funny, and we have one of the most real conversations - ranging from the curious debt structures in many Chinese businesses to the notable underrepresentation of Asian faces at the Bilderberg Meetings - that I've had on the show. Great talk. Enjoy!

CHRISTIANA ZHU | Plant-Based Food in China

Christiana Zhu has taken an unusual path to becoming the creator of YeYo, a plant-based non-dairy fro-yo that is one of my new favorite things.

#064 - Plant-Based Food in China | Christiana Zhu

Christiana Zhu has taken an unusual path to becoming the creator of Yeyo, a plant-based coconut yogurt that is one of my new favorite things. She’s a Kiwi of Chinese ancestry who first moved to China to apply her unique perspectives in the marketing and tourism industry, but a major health scare and the lack of local food options to deal with her challenges steered her towards embarking on the cool journey she’s on today with her company Marvelous Foods. As an omnivore myself I especially respect that she promotes plant-based foods primarily as a healthy addition to ANY diet, and I’m eager to taste whatever new flavors of Yeyo's fro-yo variety that she whips up next. Enjoy!

CHOZIE MA | The Master of Experience

#063 - The Master of Experience | Chozie Ma

Chozie Ma is a master of so many realms of experience - musical, audio-visual, VVIP travel, and more - that it was hard to know where to start with our interview, but his wonderful hospitality made it really fun to find our way through his narrative. Chozie - short for “Chinese Aussie”, which summaries his cultural heritage - spent a few weeks in India right after our interview and is on a sailboat somewhere between Spain and Italy as I type this, which gives some idea of the adventurous spirit that led him to make the amazing life he has created for himself. He first found success as a DJ, promoter and then club owner in China, but that is just the beginning. This was a really inspiring interview for me to do and I hope you enjoy it as well.

Igor Torgeson is a writer, actor and filmmaker from Los Angeles. He is an old friend and we had a great time catching up and chatting here in China recently. Igor talks about his journey in the comedy world, shares his hot take on Beijing, and we even talk a little about what the shifting cultural dynamics back home mean for the entertainment business at large.

GIANLUIGI PERRONE | International Filmmaking in China

This week's guest is Italian writer-director-producer Gianluigi Perone. Gian applies his passion for and training in neuroscience to his cinematic efforts. In his wide and varied career so far he's worked with, been mentored by, or has significantly crossed paths with cinema legends like Argento, Bava, Jodorowsky, and Tarantino, among others, and he is a fascinating guy to chat with in general.

This week’s guest has been on my wish list since I first had the idea for the show, and we finally made it happen. Italian writer-director-producer Gianluigi Perrone is something of a Renaissance man. He’s been an author, the screenwriter of cult film Morituris, a film critic and editor of Italian genre journal Nocturno, a director or producer of both occult projects like The 7th Night of Thelema as well as family films, and he’s now a pioneering director and creator of VR projects in China, who applies his passion for and training in neuroscience to his cinematic efforts. In his wide and varied career so far he’s worked with, been mentored by, or has significantly crossed paths with cinema legends like Argento, Bava, Jodorowsky, and Tarantino, among others, and he is a fascinating guy to chat with.

Gian is someone who I see too infrequently, and whenever we sit down, several hours pass and I don't even notice. When we met for this show, we talked for over an hour before we started, then we recorded for an hour and a half, and then we talked a good while afterwards. It’s always a blast to chat with him, and there are far more funny stories in this show than in a usual episode. Gian’s experiences and insights on the state of the film market in China - and on the real secrets of how to do business here in general, and on the shift to longer-term thinking that’s happening here and what that means for all of us in particular - are GOLD. Hint: read The Art Of War. Great show! Enjoy.

Yingying and I had a fairly epic talk, covering topics ranging from her childhood in Kaifeng, China to her journey ever farther west, and concluding with her thoughts on how to build all the needed bridges between China and the rest of the world to enable the best possible future for all of us. This is one of my favorite shows yet, and I hope you enjoy it.

Sometimes when life gives you lemons, you make some lemonade. That’s what happened to me just the other day, en route to Seoul, South Korea, when a major flight delay led to the opportunity to make four great new fast friends: Daniel, Samuel, Alice, and Youn. The five of us formed a little bit of a posse and had so much fun hanging out that I was moved to record a special “airport edition” of the podcast with them. They all have very different stories and I was glad to get to meet them and to talk to all of them, even briefly, for the show. Enjoy!

Nigel Mainville grew up in the Massachusetts version of small-town USA.

By day, Nigel uses his fluent Chinese to teach kindergartners, but several nights a week he can be found rocking the mic at one of the many standup comedy gigs around Beijing.

Bonus: Teaching Tips for Udemy | Luke Priddy

Have you ever wanted to build an online course teaching a topic you’re passionate and knowledgable about? Past show guest Luke Priddy did. Luke has successfully been using Udemy as a channel for his brand Cloud English, which brings his take on English language pedagogy online to share it with a wider audience. As I prepare to release my own very first Udemy course (The Complete Podcasting Course, available on Udemy mid-late June 2018), I wanted to get all the best advice and tips I could from Luke to help me prepare and make it as good as it can be. I learned a lot, some of which is Udemy-specific but much of which is applicable to learning and building presentations in general, so I am sharing a tightly edited highlights edition of our chat as a bonus episode. Enjoy!
