This week I had the chance to talk to my good friend Bei Wang in Our Cultures & Our World Podcast. Bei is the Co-founder and CMO of StraightFire Studios, Co-founder of FIVE DEGREES, Lecturer of Creative Business, and Course creator Digital China.
I am so grateful that Bei shared her personal story about the disability of her son Elias and how this experience changed her and helped her to see the world through a different lens. It is such a beautiful story and it touched me deeply.
Our Chinese upbringing is very much focused on having ambition and achieving a lot of success. But what’s the definition of success? Elias brought Bei to reflect on her old beliefs and redefine her mission, her personal role in this world, and what she wants to contribute to this world as an Educator, Cultural Broker, Brand Interpreter, Metaverse Explorer and Creator of NFT 2.0 Ecosystem
Bei also shared her view about the importance of humanistic thinking and ethical thinking for digitalization, for our economic and technological development.
For entrepreneurs who are doing or want to do business with China, Bei also shared valuable tips and historical, and cultural contexts to help you navigate your business in China.
I hope this conversation between two Chinese friends will inspire you to reflect on the definition of success, achievement, contribution, and happiness, and how we can slow down to improve the well-being of our planet, our own well-being, and especially the well-being of young people!
