We love promoting China Business, but also love promoting other podcasts related to China. We came across one podcast that is worth sharing with you.

Francis Kremer started a new podcast early 2020 together with his fellow German partner Patrick Frick and Ukrainian Polina Ozhylevska called Flexpat. Yes, Flexpat. Not an expat, but a flexpat. ​A flexible expat who wants to live and have more than one job in China and is interested in China's business world, culture, people, and language. It is more than a podcast actually. It has become a movement.

On Flexpat China you will hear real stories of individuals living a flexpat life. Most people come to China to built a career or start a business. In reality this is not as easy as it sounds so in this episode you can learn from the best on how to kickstart your flexpat career.

In China it is hard to have a work-life balance. It is much more a work-life integration. It is quite a blurry line. Many people identify themselves with their job and seem to be living an unfulfilled life. This is a heavy topic I know, but it is a message that needs to be heard. Like Peter Drucker says it is not about living a successful life, but living a valuable life. For this episode I brought in a Entrepreneur Lifestyle coach with years of experience working with both Western and Chinese professionals.
