Sam Hardy is originally from the northeastern region of the UK. He has a large interest in eastern culture, philosophy, and religion. Sam has been a good friend of mine ever since our first encounter in South Africa *cough cough....* It seemed like destiny that we would catch up with each other while line boarding the plane at the Osaka airport in Japan. This encounter easily solidified our friendship and understanding of one another, no doubt. Currently, Sam is working at a private school in China and setting his goals high for an opportunity to attend Oxford back at his home country with the incentive to study Chinese and Japanese. Sam is my first guest on this show amidst the heat of  the 2020 presidential election, discussing the success and knowledge he has acquired over his just shy of two year term on the east side of China.
