GFA052. Thanks everyone, I’m totally excited today - well honestly, to take a break from writing my book… up to 40,000 words… brain is fried.

Received 3 5 star reviews in past two weeks, really cool thanks everyone.

GFA051. Thank you everyone for taking the time out of your busy today to list - Global From Asia episode 51 - Just had a jam packed day in Hong Kong today - saw the new Ferris Wheel they installed and took a quick photo of it I’ll put in the bottom of the show notes - A bystander didn’t do the best job in the photo and my face is pretty dark but if you wanna check it out go to the bottom of the show notes in globalfromasia.com/episode51.

GFA050. Thank you everyone - hitting a small milestone episode #50 , thanks for following along and listening again. Working hard on the book - calling it Hong Kong Supercharged - and its over 150 pages now…. deep into company setup and operation here so I hope people like it once I release in …a month or so? Still too early to promise a release date.

GFA049. Thank you everyone for tuning into Global From Asia episode 49! Man, almost 1 year doing this - I am so pumped, recording today’s introduction after an amazing first Mastermind call with 6 other amazing business people, all first time to ever be on a mastermind call - I know it’s a strange/intimidating name but the idea is it is a 1 hour call - we use Google hangouts and go around the room introducing each other and helping each other achieve our business goals - so our first call had a wide range of people, mostly already in Asia - and we helped Gerard in the Netherlands on the hot seat as we helped him hash it out if it is worth him setting up a Hong Kong business for his China sourcing to Europe business http://www.betafresh.com/ as he is getting information overload and a bit conflicting news about the costs and he is also wondering the yearly costs to maintain it. I’ll have a show next week more about that as others are asking too!

GFA048. Welcome to another Globalfromasia podcast - episode 48, just finished taking some baby photos of my son Miles

turned 100 days old this week and it is a milestone in Chinese culture. A quick couple announcements

I’m a little afraid to even mention

it publicly - but I am working on a book based on all the awesome experiences I have had

on this show - its going to be called “Hong Kong Supercharged: Resources you Need to Get

Started with a Hong Kong business” It is overloaded with value bombs on setting up a Hong Kong company online DIY to

merchant accounts, bank accounts, places to stay in HK. I am over 100 pages already and mentally exhausted.

GFA047. Happy late August everybody - boy is it steaming hot in the South of China. Also some bad timing as am wearing pants a bit more these days for some business meetings - much different from my normal t-shirt, shorts and flip flop attire many are accustomed of seeing me in. Also for my first attempt at making a mastermind - I mentioned last week I’m going to host a 8 person online Google hangout every couple weeks in a closed format where we discuss our businesses, specifically around operating via HK company - have a few applications and you can apply, for free, on GlobalFromAsia.com/mastermind so check it out.

GFA046. Thanks for tuning in to another Global From Asia, episode 46 - still keeping these weekly and have over 6 amazing interviews already recorded in the queue, can’t wait to release them!

GFA045. Thank you everyone for tuning in - episode 45 I’m in Beijing right now helping out for a Startup weekend here and Techcrunch event. Been quite busy lately, have been getting shows lined up in more payment services, auditing process in Hong Kong, both from listener feedback!

GFA044. Thanks for tuning in - we are now at episode 44 and I’m recording today on Chinese Valentine’s day! This year it is on Saturday August 2nd, 2014 and it’s never the same day as it follows the lunar calendar instead of the Western Solar calendar - a bit tricky and lucky enough I found out from a wechat message from a friend a couple days ahead of time else my wife would have killed me! Got her some Hong Kong women’s perfume and other goods I carried across the border the other day.

GFA043. Thanks for tuning in again, I’m recording this after taking a midday hike in Nanshan Mountain - in late July. I wanted to clear my head a bit and get some sun - but that was a bad idea - got a little dizzy towards the top and luckily I could grab a gatorade from a vendor on the mountain (yes, in China they have vendors - with humans inside, on the tops of mountains!)
