Pei Pals with PeiWen-Jung Kuo: The Woman Who Bosses Me Around, My MomHi there, you are listening to pei pals and today I am interviewing someone I’ve known for 39 years, quite literally my longest lasting pal, my mom. So welcome to a special episode of the podcast—one that’s a little different and a lot more personal. Today, I’m sitting down with my mom for our first-ever recorded conversation.We’ve never really done this before—just the two of us, talking about her life, our family, and things we’ve never said out loud. It’s truly astonishing the things we never discuss with our parents...2025-07-0135 min
Pei Pals with PeiDavis Nguyen: The Human Hustle Factor, Layered Like an Onion, Future BillionaireHi there, you’re listening to Pei Pals, and today I’m interviewing my friend Davis.Davis, for lack of a better word, is an alien. And I mean that with affection—truly, in the most positive way possible. I later discovered that whatever I I was feeling is the feeling of being in the presence of a future billionaire. They're just built different.I met Davis over Korean BBQ a few years ago when I was based in Taipei, and as I mentioned—it was instant confusion. Is this guy for real? Is his brain co...2025-06-0457 min

Pei Pals with PeiKanae Otsuki: Competition-Winning Sunshine Dancer, Observer of Eyes, Proof that Affirmations WorksKanae, or Kanae-chan as I usually refer to her, just happens to be one of Japan’s most well-known Latin dancers. But to me what stands out more is how that happened, and that's all about her mindset and approach to dance. We met at a dance festival in Tokyo - actually she had a solo performance, and I managed to work up the nuts to ask her for a dance. It turned out that we have a lot in common, which is something you’ll occasionally find in dance. People have hobbies such as danc...2025-02-1334 min

He just sounds like a singer, doesn’t he?Bondipity, or Bond as I call him, is a singer based in Bangkok. He'ss what you’d call a gigging musician, in that he performs everywhere around town, from hotels, to lounges, to clubs, to bars. But like all performers, the onstage persona and the real him have some real differences. What you see is not necessarily what you get.Bond grew up in Bangkok, but plot twist - went to study music at a bible school...2024-12-081h 03
Pei Pals with PeiArie Winograd: Psychotherapy Clinic Founder, Vitamin “N” Dealer, World’s Leading Expert on BDD (Not what you think), TOO Good at Validating PeopleThis is a different type of episode, because even though Arie and I are friends, we wanted this conversation to be more educational. That’s because Arie just so happens to be one of the world’s best known experts on something called BDD, which stands for body dysmorphic disorder. It’s quite different from body dysmorphia, and just because you are obsessed with going to the gym or social media, doesn’t mean you have it. He’s been leading his field for over 20 years, and I can confirm this because I found interviews of him on Youtube...2024-10-091h 07

透過兩位策展人的分享，我們將發現這次策展的核心概念——探尋北海岸動態能量與行動意義，如何跳脫傳統的藝術框架，走出「白盒子」，以自然的視角重新詮釋北海岸這片豐富多元的土地。
從海陸交界的自然力量到社區中的生活空間，兩位策展人介紹在本次藝術季中，透過與不同的社區場域和居民結合，展現風土中的動態能量，藝術作品不再只是靜態展示，而是融合了走讀、踏查、參與式計畫等多樣的活動形式，以「參與式藝術」的概念，邀請社區大眾一起親身體驗和參與。
策展人也分享此次藝術季《濱線測繪 Walking The Shoreline》的關鍵字 ”Walking”，帶出這是一場結合田野踏查與身體感知的藝術探索之旅。

朱銘美術館成立於北海岸的這片土地，在過去20多年來「一腳紮根地方，一腳深耕藝術」，從一開始就意識到自己不僅是作為藝術展示的空間，而是有責任與地方共存的文化機構。
這集我們邀請朱銘美術館的黃榮智經理，探討藝術如何在社區設計中帶來火花，從他的視角分享本次北海岸福爾摩沙藝術季透過藝術介入地方的思維，並深入了解朱銘美術館在過程中的參與和貢獻。
-
我們對於一個地方的記憶，往往會隨著外界人為的介入而發生變化，甚至有時可能被抹滅掉，最後只留存在個人的記憶之中，如何能夠尊重地方原本的歷史文化，保留其獨特性，又能夠通過創意與外界的力量，為地方注入新鮮的能量，這是一個不斷需要調整與拿捏的過程。
節目中，黃榮智經理談到，在處理大型藝術季或高參與度的藝術活動時，一個重要的議題是如何平衡地方原有的記憶、樣貌，又可以注入新的活力，而藝術家進入一個地方的過程，就如「介入」一詞所表達的，是一種積極且深入的參與，但這聽起來似乎有些強硬！？
一起聽聽黃榮智經理和我們來談「如何透過藝術介入地方，打造藝術與社區的全新連結？」

Pei Pals with PeiGiang Nguyen: Low-Tier Feminist, the Most Third Culture Kid Ever, Lover of Rock Bottoms, Had Direct Conversations with God (But No Longer)I met Giang when I was in Vietnam for a friend's wedding. In fact, I ended up being this friend’s best man at his wedding, which I discovered only 1-2 days beforehand. Thank you my Finnish brother.I remember the first time I met her, she would continually ask me "why" and "tell me more" and "and then"? It made me slightly defensive. After getting to know her better, I realized that its just her insatiable curiosity taking over. When she first met me, I do believe I offended her because she thought I was being cr...2024-09-181h 08
Pei Pals with PeiDarren Lin: Director/Janitor, Divorce Expert, Hopeless Romantic, Blue Collar AspirantDarren was my Chinese tutor when I was living in Taipei. But that means that it was a bit one-sided, in that he would ask me questions, and I would do the bulk of the talking because it was about me practicing. Here I even the scales and interview him.Darren is what I would call a blue-collar auteur. Translation: he actually produces films and documentaries in Taiwan, but intentionally takes on so-called blue collar jobs in order to have a different range of experiences to draw upon for his films. Last I recall is that he...2024-05-2955 min
Pei Pals with PeiJesse Schoberg: Master of Thigh Masters, 8.5 on the Non-Normie Scale, Enjoyable Amount of Internet Famous, and Calculated Novelty JunkieJesse is not only my neighbor in bangkok, whenever he actually decides to live here, but he was one of the most influential people in my life last year. The way I met him is quite unique: I got sent a youtube link to a CNBC interview he did on being an expat in Bangkok. Basically I had a weird amount of information about him, from him, but not really from him personally. It made me feel a bit like stalker. Jesse originally hails from near Chicago, and like me, he ended up in Bangkok af...2024-03-101h 04
Pei Pals with PeiMark Zhang Returns: New 20% Tiger Father, Obsessed with "Primal Man", Failed Nomad, Unleashed via Mindset CoachingMy pal Mark returns, this time with a baby in tow!It’s pretty great to be able to have a snapshot in time of someone’s life, before and after having a baby. You're welcome, Mark. I’m realizing that is part of the appeal for recording these conversations for myself as well. They are moments and places in time that represent different phases in life, and the same exact type of intersections and relationships will never occur again. Damn, time is tough.Let's consider this the fatherhood episode for the time being...2024-01-1456 min
Pei Pals with PeiJeff Lau: Above Average BBC, Nationally Ranked Rock Climber, Wanted to Have a White Person's Head, Unclear About What Feelings AreOnce upon a time, I went to a co-working space in Taipei called the Hive, and that's where I met Jeff. It became immediately apparent that we had a lot in common, and we quickly built a ritual of talking about our shared perspectives over cheap sushi. We talked about identity things, expat things, Taiwan things, exercise things… but in the end, we talked the most about two things: money, and life fulfillment. And this episode contains a lot of that.Jeff is a BBC and has been living in Taipei for about a decade. As...2023-12-271h 07

But also, I noticed his shirts and hats. I figured out that they were about his own brand - and I can usually tell because I also make my own shirts! But the thing you notice next besides Jonathan is the way he interacts, collects, and analyzes in conversation. It’s the type of stuff where you can just tell that someone is completely intent on engaging with the world. As Socrates said, the u...2023-12-061h 17

He's the founder of taiwannutrition.com, and in more recent years, the founder of trueterral.com with his wife Sylvia. He’s been in Taiwan since his university days and speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese.Like most of my pals, his work is certainly the least interesting part of him.

Pei Pals with PeiMel Chua: Ex-Farm Boy, Banana Inside a Twinkie, Fueled by Spite, Dance Community BuilderMel is what I would call a boomerang. The way I define it is growing up somewhere, going somewhere else, and then ultimately returning to that first place for… reasons. Perhaps belonging, or a lack of belonging. Mel is also a twinkie, which also requires a definition. A twinkie is someone who is Asian on the outside, but white on the inside. But Mel is also originally from Singapore, so hes got another yellow layer inside there.Like many of my friends, I first met Mel on the dance floor. We danced, felt each other’s bod...2023-10-021h 03

I also occasionally just call her hair; just take a look at the picture.I met Lisa at a dance festival in Chiang Mai, but it wasn’t until I moved to Bangkok that we became good friends, and even dance co-teachers. Her first words to me were “I’m not a bitch, I swear!” so it was obvious that this friendship was going to blossom.

Henry is actually a childhood friend. There’s something about people who you have known for 30 years, give or take. I guess they become a sort of family as well. We grew up together, went to school together, became Boy Scouts and then Eagle Scouts together, and tried to figure out how to look and dress cool as as teenager together. Spoiler alert: long bangs were NOT the answer.Henry is one of the most superlative people I know, because no matter what you can think of, he...2023-06-261h 06
Pei Pals with PeiDaniel Peleg: Probiotics Farmer, Life Quality Tinkerer, Attachment Theory Analyst, "Ex-Mossad Agent"In this episode, I interview my pal Daniel. Our friendship actually spans a few years and a few countries. I believe we were based in Budapest around the same time years ago, and then we met and became close when we were both in Taipei for the entirety of Covid. He moved to Bangkok around the same time as I did, and it was quite comforting to have a good friend already here, like a Jewish security blanket.

I'll often have the experience of telling him “so this weird thing just happened…” and he will confirm that it is indeed a thing here.We actually have quite a lot in common, starting from our corporate backgrounds, ending up in Asia to focus on lifestyle, and cutting weight while battling the seductive allure of donuts and cake.

She's a new friend, but you wouldn't know it from the deep and private things that we talk about for everyone to hear. And that's because with most people, conversation is just an exchange of information. But other times, it is a sharing and discussion of beliefs, thoughts, and emotions. She’s a yoga teacher, cafe owner, meditation expert, crossfitter, and she possesses some of the most amazing shoulders you’ll ever see.

Pei Pals with PeiYu-Jiang Tham: Discount Pomeranian Daddy, Black V-Neck Aficionado, Autodidact, OCD about Personal FinanceIn this episode, I interview my pal Yu-Jiang. I've known him for about 10 years, back from when we were both living in SF. We've both since moved on - him to Seattle, and me abroad since 2016. What fascinates me about him is that he is the consummate tech guy, with UCLA, Apple, and Snapchat. You'd expect his life to be essentially a straight line to the purgatory of tech middle management and unrealized stock options, but somehow he's veered from that path. He took a job selling study guides door-to-door in Maryland the summer after...2023-01-221h 02
Pei Pals with PeiMark Zhang: Creator of the World's Greatest Eyemask, Bullied ESL Kid, Daily Napper, Wants Monkey FeetIn this episode, I interview my friend Mark. I mentioned that when I first met him, he wore these goofy Teva sandals (which he will defend to his dying day)... and lo and behold, he brings up barefoot shoes on this episode. He may or may not have a foot fetish. Mark is CEO of Manta Sleep, an 8-figure company, which produces the world's greatest eyemask. I can vouch that it is, in fact, amazing, because I sleep with it most nights. But his path was not very smooth or predictable, from leaving China as...2023-01-0640 min
Pei Pals with PeiHyunju Yang: Billion-Dollar Investment Manager, Judgmental Queen, Ruler of the Hyunju RepublicIn this episode, I interview my pal Hyunju. I affectionately call her my Korean big sister because she is someone that I can go to for about anything, including advice on girls. She's a member of my informal personal board of advisors that I seek out for feedback whenever I make big decisions. Along with this massive responsibility, she also has a much lesser job as investment manager of billions of dollars for a Taiwanese institution. Frankly, her job is the most boring part of her. I met Hyunju dancing bachata, which she started in...2023-01-0355 min
Pei Pals with PeiVicky Sun: Jazz/Tango/Anything Vocalist, Involuntary Multi-Hyphenate, Unwilling Famous PersonIn this episode, I interview my pal Vicky. She is both ironically and unironically a superlative multi-hyphenate. Don't know what the hell that means? Neither does she.Vicky is one of Taiwan's most well-known and in-demand jazz/tango/wedding/background/you name it singers. She's usually booked out weeks in advance and is on the verge of releasing her EP. Her performance career began in earnest when a mixture of alcohol, boredom, and heartbreak led her to an open mic. We all know that's a situation where the best decisions are made.In...2022-12-311h 18
Pei Pals with PeiTeresa Hung: YouTuber, Nomad, Traveler, Self-Development MavenIn this episode, I interview my pal Teresa. She's a youtuber/digital nomad/content creator/passive income-r. Every cool buzzword you can think of applies to her. She started by creating content that would solve her own problems with her students, and once her channel gained sufficient traction, she took off to Italy as a nomad. But despite having hundreds of thousands of fans and being recognized occasionally on the street, she doesn't love the public eye.My conversations with Teresa can go in literally any direction because we have a lot of shared experiences...2022-12-281h 03
Pei Pals with PeiLarry Shao: Taiwan's Latin Dance King, Dance Studio Owner, That One Bald GuyIn the inaugural episode of Pei Pals, I interview my first dance teacher, Larry Shao, whom I affectionately dub the Latin Dance King of Taiwan (a name he strongly objects to). Others may only know him as the bald guy that dances fantastically, or as the boss of a dance studio, but the point is - they know him.He in some sense "Mister Miyagi'd" me because I feel that I learned a lot of life lessons from him. That's what the best teachers do, after all. We talk about the most common mistakes beginners...2022-12-261h 09

Sinica PodcastChina’s authoritarian revival, explained by Carl MinznerThis week, we have an inadvertently timely podcast on China’s authoritarian revival. Mere days before the episode’s recording, Chinese President Xi Jinping set the stage to extend his power to rule China indefinitely. As Carl Minzner, professor of law at Fordham University, explains, the abolition of term limits for Xi was only the latest — and easiest for non-China specialists to understand — of many signs that China was heading down the path to strengthening its one-Party and one-man rule to an extent not seen since Mao.
