    #153. Justin Hourn (on wellness and adversity)

    Justin Hourn is the head coach and co-founder of Refuge Martial Arts.  He is a BJJ black belt, former Australian national wrestling team athlete, international kickboxer, Tedx speaker and youth health & fitness speaker.  Today we talk about fitness trends, wellness, purpose and overcoming adversity.  We talk about purposely not preparing for things so we can react genuinely in the moment.  We talk about keeping fit as we age and the shift from intense workouts like CrossFit to a focus on low-impact exercises and overall wellness and longevity.  We also talk about Justin's journey to China growing up in one of Australia's most dangerous towns, being raised by a single mom, and protecting against an absent father.  We talk about the importance of role models and community on physical and mental well-being, especially during childhood.

    #152. 3 Bodies Many Problems

    #152. 3 Bodies Many Problems

    Today we talk about the “3 Body Problem”, AI and finding jobs.  We talk about the controversy over the Western adaptation of the show from the original Chinese science fiction novel “The Three-Body Problem” and where the limits might be for cultural appropriation.  The conversation shifts to the topic of AI and we debate how much we should really think about it in our daily lives.  We also talk about job hunting and share stories from some of our early jobs and the lessons we learned doing them...if we learned anything at all.

    #150. Andrea Fenn: The Great Digital Leap

    Andrea Fenn is an award-winning digital strategist and the CEO of Adiacent, a global digital transformation company. He was a founding member of the APAC social media team at Ogilvy, a researcher of Chinese social media at Leiden University, and a former journalist for CNN and China Daily.  He has lived 18 years in China working with the country’s evolving digital landscape.  Today we talk about the birth and rise of China’s digital age.  We talk about when the first Western social media platforms were blocked, how China leapfrogged traditional technologies, and why Chinese society was so quick to embrace the digital world.  We talk about social media’s impact on the health and development of children, and debate the merits of government intervention.  We discuss China’s approach to regulation, tech giants, and moderating consumerism as we explore the rationale behind its policies, the trade-offs, and the challenges on its unique development path in a digital world.

    #149. Dylan Briley: Death & Cooking

    Dylan Briley is the Head Chef at Crush, former Sous Chef at Mr & Mrs Bund, and former chef at Goga in Shanghai.  He is also an artist, culinary consultant and DJ.  Today we talk about digital addiction, self-hate and his experiences working in the restaurant industry, both in the US and China. He recounts a pivotal moment when he had a heart attack while working at a restaurant in Shanghai and shares a story of the time he ruined a steak for an American President.  We discuss the challenges he faced adapting to the different management styles and cultural norms in Chinese kitchens, being the most hated person in the room, as well as the stress and self-doubt he experienced early in his career in China.  Dylan reflects on the importance of finding balance, being true to oneself, and embracing opportunities for personal growth.  Bon Appétit.

    #148. Yimin Wang: The Personality Trap

    Yimin Wang is a personality development and leadership coach.  He is one of the highest certified people development coaches in China, the CEO of Sense Consulting and the Global Partner of Lumina Learning.  Today we explore the Lumina Spark personality assessment which measures your various personality traits and qualities.  We talk about the concept of paradox in personality, where individuals can exhibit seemingly contradictory traits in different situations.  We talk about the importance of empathy and its role in leadership, communication and relationships. We also get into the spectrum of accommodating versus tough personalities and how it affects conflict resolution, the value of diversity in teams and the tendency to hire people who are similar to yourself.  We talk about nature vs nurture and its influence on our social development, the benefits of self-awareness to improve personal and professional relationships, and how we can get out of the box and avoid being trapped in our assumed personalities.
