Let's be clear, I'm only writing this down so I am forced to commit to doing it.
My girlfriend bought me a bunch of podcast equipment for Christmas with the plan being that 2015 was the year of me entering the podcast world, you know, about 7 years too late. I figure that's the time to do things, I've always been this way. I started a ska band in 1996, I got addicted to Surge soda in 1998 when you could only still find it at truck stop soda fountains outside of Winslow, Arizona, and now I am starting a podcast.
I have decided on the angle, everything needs an angle, but I haven't registered it (do you register podcasts? I still can't figure out how to turn on my TV) so I will wait on annoucing the title until I get it up and running. In its most simplistic form, I want to tell the true, uncensored story of the gold rush mentality and figurative gold rush that is happening today in and around Shanghai, China.
When I moved to China I remember seeing piles and piles of books at the airport telling you how to do business in China. Most said things like "learn to use chopsticks", "when raising your glass to cheers a business associate, make sure your glass is lower than theirs" and for comedic effect "bring your own tissue, not every building has toilets with seats". This is about .00000001% of what you need to know to do business here, and most of that isn't relavent at all.
I will talk to entrepreneurs, be it Chinese, French, American, Russian, whatever, and learn their story of how they went from their life at home to a life of adventure, success, failure and everything in between in modern China. Sounds cool? Let me know in the comments section. Does this have a comments section? I don't fully understand what a blog is.
