THD美籍华人英语访谈秀

We are finally back as we celebrate our 100th episode by answering questions sent in from our awesome listeners!  The questions get deep, so we do our best and share our experiences.  Due to heated internal drama before the show, this special Q&A episode almost didn't happen, but we managed to put on our big boy pants...if only for a while.

Oscar Fuchs is the host of Mosaic of China podcast. A popular show featuring people who are making their mark in China. We critique each others shows as we have an honest chat about our insecurities as podcasters. We try to unearth the true reasons behind why we do it. We talk about ego, mid life crisis and staying relevant in society.  We talk candidly about adjusting to modern Chinese society, the desire for international travel and our identities as foreigners in China. We discuss what should be our level of concern for the future and accepting our privileged lives, warts and all.

Adam Trenk has achieved a career in law, business and politics by the time he turned 30. Becoming a Vice Mayor in his 20's he epitomizes the idea of challenging oneself and the slogan "just do it".  He also happened to be Justin's bully in 2nd grade.  Today we talk to him about the sudden and recent death of his greatest mentor, his grandfather, and the life lessons he's learned from him.  We talk about a troubled childhood, building virtues, having the guts to take control of your life, Adam's confrontation with the Dean when trying to get into law school, carpe diem, making friends and the impact of death on our perspectives. Some great stories are shared as we muse on life and his grandfather's saying "don't sweat the small sh*t, and it's all small sh*t".
