Above: Prof. Chung (Left), me and Mr. Li in Zhuhai, China in March 2018

While I was in China (March 2018) conducting research and recording episodes for the new show, I had the great pleasure to meet Professor Sydney Chung (钟尚志 / Zhong Shangzhi), who is a recognized expert and pioneer in medicine, particularly in the area of endoscopy.

Prof. Chung was the President of The Chinese University Hong Kong School of Medicine and the youngest President in the school’s history. 

Prof. Chung studied medicine at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and worked at Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong upon graduation. 

At the age of 50, he experienced his version of the "midlife crisis" and decided to go to Papua New Guinea, the Land of the Unexpected to work as a doctor for three years, often under extreme circumstances with limited medical and Human Resources. 

What I also found out is that Prof. Chung was a key contributor (and known to be one of the heroes) during SARS in Southern China between 2002-2003. 

This is a very short interview, only about 15-minute long. Prof. Chung had a busy schedule but I couldn't resist the opportunity to meet him in person.

To learn more about Professor Chung，I hope you check out his book, the Kindest Cut in both Chinese and English.

Ryan Hilderbrandt teaches you to get your First TED Talk. 

Turns out, it’s a systematic approach, and many people could and should work toward this goal.

Most people won’t pitch or promote themselves as speakers if they had no prior experience or feel as if they don't have the right connections.

For those of you who have been contemplating about being part of a TED Talk to spread your message, this episode is for you.

Ryan joined me in this conversation from his AirBnB. He had been location independent and traveling around the world past 6 months. If this is also a topic that interests you, listen on.

What makes Ryan uniquely qualified to speak to this topic?

Ryan started a brand new TED event in a small town in the UK.

Most TED locations are situated in very populated areas, often where universities or companies concentrate. Even then it can be difficult to draw a live audience together. Ryan proved me wrong.

Lauren Asher is the president of Asher Policy Consulting. We first met in 2004. 

She is a policy expert in student loans for low-income students and families. 

Lauren breaks down several misconceptions. Did you know going to school part-time and attending community colleges are always cost-effective to low-income families? 

Really? I was just as surprised as you are. 

According to the CNBC, "Roughly 70 percent of grads leave college with student debt, and over 44 million Americans hold a total of $1.4 trillion in student loan debt." This episode is relevant to all of us.
