Dutta talks with Perry Atwal: UBC Sauder faculty, former Morgan Stanley banker, and author of Wisdom for Life, a #1 Amazon bestseller in Personal Transformation.

    From a Village With No Power to Canada's Calm: Nuttha Goutier Founder Sabai Thai Spas

    Nuttha Goutier grew up in a village in Chiang Rai, northern Thailand, with no running water and no electricity. She learned massage at her grandmother's side, arrived in Canada in 2001 with a new language and little else, and in 2005 opened the first Sabai Thai Spa. Today she leads seven locations across Greater Vancouver and is opening the brand to franchise partners across Canada. In this conversation with host and producer Dr. Tom Dutta, she tells the human story behind the calm: the doubt, the reinvention, and the belief that self-care belongs in everyday life, not saved for a rare luxury.

    EP#284 FINAL CUT PREMIERE: Culture Fluid: How Sharon Gai Turned Not Belonging Into an AI Empire

    What if everything you've been told about AI and your job is wrong? Sharon Gai sits down with host and producer Dr. Tom Dutta on The Quiet Warrior Show, and this one is going to stop you in your tracks. Sharon moved to Vancouver at age 7 from China, not speaking a word of English. She hid her dumpling lunches so the other kids wouldn't stare. She hid who she was.

Between those two worlds she forged a philosophy she calls Culture Fluid, and a career at the cutting edge of global AI and commerce. A TEDx speaker. A Wiley author. Named Top AI Voice 2026. Sharon has advised Walmart, LVMH, Coca-Cola, and heads of state. And she's here to say what most people are afraid to: AI doesn't replace jobs. It slices off tasks. And knowing the difference is everything. In this episode you'll discover: ✓  Why being different is your biggest AI advantage, not your liability ✓  How to split your job into 'AI tasks' and 'human tasks' right now ✓  The 'Busy Bee to Beekeeper' shift that changes how leaders think about productivity ✓  What the West is still missing from China's AI playbook ✓  Why doing more with less starts with clarity, not hustle Sharon's new book HOW TO DO MORE WITH LESS (Wiley, March 2026) is out now. This is the conversation the whole world needs. www.sharongai.com #TheQuietWarriorShow #SharonGai #AILeadership #FutureOfWork #DoMoreWithLess #AILiteracy #Leadership #Podcast #Livestream #CultureFluid #Innovation #BusinessStrategy #DrTomDutta #FinalCutPremiere
