[00:05] ATP650 - Asia Matters with Graham D Brown
[02:42] Michael R. Bloomberg, American businessman and philanthropist, wants to create a rival to the Davos-based World Economic Forum that will focus on Asia and the Asian Century. The inaugural session will take place this November, 2018 in Beijing. -- This is certainly a way to acknowledge China's lead in the global ecosystem.
[07:50] Data from the #AsiaMatters Report published this year bolsters the case for Bloomberg's vision. Key takeaways include Asia is a US$27 trillion economy. This is 50% bigger than either the US or the EU. By 2030, the Asian middle classes are expected to grow to 3.2 billion people -- an enormous market potential!
[12:09] The Asia Matters Report talks about four steps that will bring about the Asian Century. 1) The demographic advantage that allowed for low-cost manufacturing production. 2) Capital reinvestment that helped build the Asian middle class and a skills, talent, wealth, and innovation boom, which is now allowing for 3) an increasing innovation advantage (AI, autonomous vehicles, etc). Asia is taking the lead in innovation. Finally, 4) Asia will eventually become the global hegemon and the "default option" for business.
[17:12] The Asia Matters Institute was created as a forum to help foster these connection. The goal was helping experts outside Asia find their counterparts in the region, and also to help people in Asia better find and communicate. If you are a speacalist with something to offer, get in touch!
[19:56] Exciting news from Singapore as Asia Tech Podcast opens its own studio! Special thanks to the team at Platform E for making this possible!
[22:18] Platform E is a co-working space, incubator, accelerator, and community. Shout-out to Rina Neoh and Abdul Malik! They get things done!
[26:06] Thunder and lightening shenanigans!
[26:25] On networking. There are two types of people: energy-takers and net energy-givers. Find the energy-givers and work with them!
[31:05] Why podcasting is the future of personal branding. Conferences and traditional networking events almost never give you information beyond what's available on someone's website. Nothing "wow's" us at those things. Podcasting, on the other hand, brings out the human element. That's what people want!
[38:08] Revealing your vulnerability and humanizing yourself to others is one of the most effective ways to get ahead. Show that you have the confidence to take the arrows of criticism. Blaze the trail! Give people the Oprah moment! People want to know about you!
[43:10] The vision for Asia Tech Podcast is to create the platform for those human conversations...to give that voice to the Asian tech ecosystem. The new studio will really help to make live radio shows...to make real conversations!
[52:28] For all the talk about the digital world being the future, you can't fake a real, human conversation. This is what makes podcasts. And this is what will make the Asian Century. There are countless stories waiting to be told! That's what we're going to do here on Asia Tech Podcast.
[55:15] If this sounds like your passion, apply to be our intern. Come be a part of the Asian Century!
