Hello Guys

Welcome to castcle

Which youre about to hear is the second episode of our interview with kevin

So in the second half of the interview

You hear kevin recommend the jororan an peters son in pascast and his own pocast caught thrive

Hope you enjoy it okay

So thats the second pocast and a third one is probably the most many one is from jordan peterson

Yes yes so doctor peterson

Yeah

Ah doctor or peterson

Right this poccast seriously i am you know it was month of ago that we met each other for the first time

And then you introduced pepetersons pocast to me and ive tried so many times and until now i can get something out of it

And to to see a sense of balance

I go to different channels online

Different communities online es to they are les feeback on peterson

And for a lot of people

They say that are the interstent each word and doctor peter son

Son speech

But and untithey all connected totogether

When they are in a senttheyve lost their mind like theyve ve st st a cluclue im one of them

Like im calling one of them and uh its just because im not that um philosopically capable

So thats such shame

Because is its just a shame

So thats something with a lot of fundamental disciplines

Just as you mentioned for example history

For example psychology

Gy psychology

Even its just these disciplines seems not that helpful at first

Thanks

Right

But as you go deeper so so progressed

Further you start to realize these are the most important disciplines that you need to dive into at some point inting your life

So yeah

So thats what what exactly i feel so its just even though preparing our conversation takes a lot of time for me

But i think is such a pleasure

Because its just like heart core learning is just like serious studying

好的 的 好的

Yeah

Trying to get something out of it

And its just um

Its just done on me

That everything is actually very connected

Because uh ababyou can categorize doctor petersince poadcasting into you know spiritual or rereligious essential

But its

Its is fundamental

Essensenal

As ah you know faith or you know understanding of self of cautious is so essential

Yeah Yeah

Actually

I wouldnt classify as spiritual or faith

You know i mean there is a whole other category that is spspiritual

Faith

Which i also listen to

But i wouldnt classify john peterson

As that you can definitely um recognize that he himself is on a journy for truth

And actually

And

And i hope a lot people understand us too really

When we talk about religion and faith

When you built all it down

Thats really

What it is

Its really about a journey for truth

Its not just about personal truth

Its just about

Is there such a thing as truth

And what is the truth that we should be finding thats really

What fafaith

Reregion is supposive about

But its of course today built up with a lot of other things

Johnn pearson

He approaches it in that way

He

He is so tennacous ous

Hes so a fierce

When it

When its about the pursuit of truth

And of course

He utilizes his intense

Intellect intense and just sophisticated mind to apply

But what hes doing is his hes looking for truth

And hes

What hes doing is hes actually share with us

What hes found through all the different lengthses

That he applies onto one particular subject for the presict truth

Of course

In the end where he gets to is s profound

Yes

Hehe actually better frame petersons podcast

Its more like a wisdom poadcast

Yes its insaid been being about faityes

Yes hes

He is diving into faith matters

Or hes diving into subject matters

That actually the worlds fafaths are built on

And hes not discarding peoples believes

But he is going and looking at the subject matter

And hes trying to find what the original truth are actually for the purposes of enlightenment in faith

He himself

I think is a spirital person

But he wouldnt really define himself in that way

Hes his spiritual um

But i think the way he defines himself is really different

Hes definitely one specific religion

Hes an academic

Hes straight up an academic

And so hes an academic working through religious texts and wisdom texso hes s hehes an

Hes not an academic

Thats an atheist right today we actually we see a lot of um academic is aatheist who and again thats actually its own belief system um trying to make an argument for like religious things

But from an atheist prospect jordan peers is not that jordan peers in himself will tell you

Hes not an atheist who he definitely believes in things um

And so hes been so honest in the procedure truth

So thats johnan peerson

I would also say the john peersonons poccare are also raw

I mean he shoshoes from the hip

I mean it is he opens us mouth

And its like

Its like opening up like a firehose its like its big volume of water

That projects out

But its a volume of words and for free

And its one big stream of consciousness

Yeah

But thats conconsousness is so deep and so profound

But goonta go back and really listn to really

Really understand what hes trying to say i love it

Because its so rich

I mean how

How many people in your life

Have you meet like that

That very few

And so when hes offering it

When

When you can meet something like that

And for free it

Because its a free pocket

Why

Why would you not to meet brilcpeople

And think

Think so much

And think so deely ly

Why would not

Not so

So for me

You know the johnpepeerson son hits me on many levels the reason

Why like it right now would you not course i come at it also as an academic i like to

I like and i think you can feel that now from all the progress i listen to

And all the things i do um id like to be critical about everything

But the criticaless is not about tearing ings down for the sake of tenings down thats the wrong purpose of being critical and have a critical nature

The right reason of having critical nature is of course to find wisdom of truth

Thats

Thats

Thats an important mental exercise that we all have to be its so im attracted to peterzen

Because hes so critical um and of course im attracted to the subject matter that he is approaching which is of course religious text and in faith tex um

Because um im

Im a practicing faith base person

I have you know and

And im deep in my own spirituality

And im also not threatened by the way that he examines the texts that my fitter built on um and a lot of people are a lot of people who have a faith get very defensive

Because he starts to pick at things that maybe you dont think that deeply about and actually you built your life on yeah im not afraid of that i want to go down that rabbit hall with him

I want to understand how he thinks about that recenme thing for the purposes of helping me reflect on how i think of fiit doesesshake ke my faith

In fact

It allows me to play with my faith

It allows me to explore the deep pillars and tenants of what i truly believe and truly let me be critical about it and truly help me understand

Exactly what i believe

On why believe

So it helps me review my believes

Now heres the thing

Theis nothing

That he says that discounts

There is not one time in any of his episodes

That he says thats not true

What he says is

Is actually

Well actually

There are different ways of understanding that

So what he actually does is he is um in sysypedia of interpretations and just interprets the same thing from many many

Many

Many different perspectives

Whether its again that biological

So he says

Well you know

When you

When you see that work

Then you

You stand

And that perperthat that

That biologically there are brain is functing this way

And in the development like

Like the

The nnapses on this side of the brain are impacting that

And therefore thats why you know they are

For example

You know in the pisode were talking about

In adomevers ally

And he goso deep into the psychology of why human beings are psytotexyeah he course you

You should know

And you should definitely bring that context back into the context of how you interpret text

Yeah

Right for example

And so he goes deep into psychology

That he goes deep per into biology

Then he goes deep per the history and prehistory

And then he goes into things like semiotics

He helps you understand

Well the epeople say that that what was the origonal language what was the meaning of that language

How people interpreting it and so that the the multllens part of course speaks to me as well out because with i get a geek out with all these different lenthses

Which of course in my own personal life journey and im to d importthan and ii know cloto to him

I mean his lengthses are way further than mine

Way more imppleant and very impdense

I and appappreciated

But i appreciate because i also have my own lenthses

And im able to sharped my lengthses based on his um im im able to learn and acquire new lenths

That i never had before nor what i particularly spend the time really getting aphd on evolutionary psychology

I wouldnt do that although having said that i have spent time try to learappappluluate psychology

Because its very important and very interesting

But to hear an expert use it and too reference it

It actually siside learning

Ii get to learn more about sychology

I get to learn more about psychology

Even though i did not have delree in them by listento him an an expert utilizit i wllin in those psychotives

And it gives me much greater exper understanding and interpretation of the text

Yes and uh an understanding my faith

You know so john pearson is not a faith

Like its not a faith poadcast

He is an academic poadcast ah hea professor or the university of toronto um you know and he is such aa big following because hes not piissing anyone off well acache

Hes s isisa of okh

But

But i would say such a big hes not

Hes not rejected anyone tomital hes honouring

Hes honouring the pursuit

I think hes the way that he pursuit shines light to the reserve us

Who are faith based people to really help us and encourages to also pursume right because if we dont really know what we believe and what are we doing every days like were tototal core values

Below core values

Honestly is belief

So billiammelinda they believe

Everyone should have equal opportunity there is a belief

Underneath that now thats a belief

That billiamlinda have about why equal is important

That theres a belief

嗯

That has nothing to do with rationality is just something that you found as important

And theres something

There thats a truth

That cannot be um

Um uh disuh dissected even more is what we call things like original truth

Or

Or first principles in mathematics you call them first principles

Thats what joordan petersons about

But is our first principles and mathematics we do first principles of life

Which is so important for everyone you know and ororan peterson is just hes just so special

At

At at momoment in the world

Theres inasure

People can

Can what

What does

Does so is a pleasure and an honor to listen to his podcaast

And to go deep into how he think so of thing

Yes

I mean before petersons podcast

I often listen to philosophy poccast

Such as philosophy bite from a mates

You can

You can get a sense out of it

This is very snipppeof from phochophical studies

But um hes trying so hard

Hes very best to distill all kinds of theories like all kinds of researches

But very sucinct sentences and phrases

And trying to tell you that um heres a relationship between myth

Religions or history and peoples

Purpose of light so if we i mean

Not everyone especially in china

Not everyone is religious

So if you and even you know some people just hate the word

Religion or religious

Because they think there are some negativity

Or you know in that specific in that word

Its sound superstitious

Even though basically every chinese is superstisous to some excright

Can you say say fsensuous is susubsiright

Its super substiious

So its not about superstition is about faith is about the purpose

Like the fundamental purpose that drives you to wake up to do things

To spend every minute to make every second count

Thats the thing that petersince try ying to investigate i think

I think you hit on something really really important

Like the reason

Why this politics is so important

For both that there are faith based and religious

As well people that are not faith based religious

For those that are faith bed and religious

It really fafaith in what you believe for those are

Are faith base and religious

Its just that fafaith rerealize

Its really about faith based and religious

Its just that

Its not part of a organize religion

You actually have faith in something you just never realized it as so jordon ppr

Since pockets really helps you realized were the things that i

You actually believe we are all

We all believe in stuff

But maybe though some faith basase people actively explore what they believe a lot of religious

People dont they just take it as a i dont know control mechanism or a way of living life

And they dont actually ask why

Which of course gives religion a bad name

Which is why i will dont want to join religion

Because they think its just a control system

Which is not supposed to be right

But the realities that for everyone else thats not faith based

Or doesnt call msoufaapes

And doesnt call mmself religious

And think think hes is built on rebelies

But hes realized it and jojoin pepand is a wonderful middle ground

Because hes not a know

Know a traditional religious or faith person

Hes an academic

But hes able to go and

And picit through real life that is not just religious

Real life

Its real life

Real life

And really understand how things are actually believe based

And i think hes just so courageous

Because he shares a lot of things

That are related to himself for example

But he got inspired to write maps of meaning which kevin strongly religious

嗯

In the first place

Because he suffered from a crisis of faith

But theres the time that he was young right so this kind of like suffering just you know motivated him to

To

To diexse ep

And then to investigate deep into face

Into beliebelieand then he came up like after spending maybe decades

Or you know a lot of years literally on the book

And then trying to try his best to

To get exposed

And then try to get everybody know that time

He actually has some understanding in explplation tions yeyeyeah

So thats why fite amazing

Because a lot ed will think that for example

Academia and religion are separate

And he has shown us that its ratically ally his investigate both of them like religious people or faitthous people afraid of academiicbecause of course a lot of academics

Not a lot acah

So thats loud ones a lowed academics are um atheist

But theres acactually a lot of academis

Faith basase is well right but

But the traditional way of understanding is that there is no room for faith in academia

And its all just about critical reasoning uh and so if its about faith

Its

It doesnt have a space in critical thinking

But thats not peterson

Pepesson

Kes

Kes ruel thinking and applies it two faith

But again like he said in his own journey

He has had a crisis of faith

And heres the thing

And this is really important

We should never be afraid of a crisis of faith

Crisis of faith is the opportunity for us to it

It goes back to that word

Innovation

Our own life and our own person

The moment of innovation of our lives could always comes from a crisis of face

And those

Those

That are afraid of of ressive faith

That actually afraid of their life growing for those like joordan

Peterson uh and myself is well ii had a long journeand deep journey

And critically reviewing my faith

And pushshing cricrisis

Fafah h and you can

And years

Years

Years

That lots of experience

Ces ive learned that hidden peterson has that

It is through your christ of faith

That makes you a much better person

And a much more peaceful person

You find peace

Because you find that hidden truth

And the true truth

The original truth

And that you can really rest on

And you can build your life upon

呃

Those are the deep wisdoms

So i highly recommend this podcast

Even though i know like less than one percent of people would be able to understand and listen to it

I get it

But at least im be able

Today shshare ah how meaningful it is to me

Yes

This peaceful bits is really interesting

Because you know that young people nowadays in china

Likes to talk about 魔呀佛系

Like the feeling then

But so this kind of like feeling then or feeling seaceful is not that positive

Because its sort of like extremely pessimistic like losing entitiful

Like hopeless

And then you settle down like feeling hopeless

And then the enless less

But so what you just said about feeling peaceful with yourself or being balanced with yourself is more like very pofident or very positive like you know what was important to you

And then you know where your re acelife

And then youre finally settled with who you are

And then you try to proceed

And then just you try to go on thats totally different kinds of feeling peaceful

Yeah

Ah what you think you

You get that sense that this thing to all the different poteast than i listen to uh you know its interestingly

Toouble of cy and saffect youre right

The The

The situation that we have to day with the next generation is that more and more than are um getting more more pessimistic

Basically theyre losing hope

And theyre getting desperate and many other places in the world

That i go all over the world

And i meet lots of different young people

And you hear the same stories

You know and know what i find from what i listen to and also my personal journey

And what im calall to

What my lifes work is about

Is about

Helping people find hope right

Right in a world

That sucks any chance of hope

Sucks out the light

Where you have to be forcy just has to be so best best misjust just let everything roll is about thats

Now what life could be or should be right

It doesnt have to be that way

Yes you know and the things

I listen to have taught me that

Show me that it has been manifesit in my own life

I know it through practice

And so im im in a place

And i happen in a place

Where i just

I just hope to be a share

That with more more people

That you

You can capture

Hope

Its not hard

Its not far

Its not expensive

Its right there in finite of you

You just need

Need

Need to

So how to tiso yes so really

Whats so precious about peers

Son after lectures

Speeches with discussions or even fierce spetes with

With different kinds of scholars

Ininfluenwers

He still believe in the power of human being

And hes very still very active

Tive s still very presitive

So this is really

Really speciable thing

This really very citiand thats so

So special

Its not titiand and but the great thing is

The positiveness is not from blind faith

The pousiveness is from the critical thinking

Hes

Hes deduced rationally all the way down to understanding why

And in the deepest wisdom of why

Why he recognizes hope i mean

Shinn that already be something for all of us to know that some of the smart people

People within the world

Through philosophy

And everything else they go all away down to the most basic tenants of life

And in that they find hope

And im not saying that everything he says

Is sure you know

And i hope that ive mean

That clesure

You dont

I dont agree with everything he says

But i appreciate the process

And him going through his process

Allows me to go through this process

And allows me to understand what i believe

And i understand why i believe it right so um

But its worth the discussions

Worth the discourses

Worth exexchange shsharp each each up that thats what that popocast is for me

Me also the only thing

That uh the listeners may enjoy

Is that um dont imagine pepeters

And is some kind of like a pundit or guru

With only good at speaking academic language he speaks very coloqual

Yeah

Language well well and is exexpression is guage age

Know so its sparkling

Its just sparkles thouss in your mind

Thats you know associate such a myth

Like such a religious story to some like real life or very practical interpretation

So i actually take a lot of notes from uh his speech basically which is another form of scratching suryes

Yes but its enjoyable

I mean its great fun

Yeah

Ah yeah

If you got the time in the effort

In the focus

Yeah

But it is its worthwhile and so much more worthwhile than watching atv series

Yeah

You know you really get a lot more out of it

Its going to last your life

嗯嗯

Lets talk about to a podstter

Yes so kevin is a popcastter

Hes not just a professional poccast listener is a poccaster

I listearand and he has published um he has released his pocstter on ismaya both the chinese version and english version

So lets talk about

And it do such popastter

Lets talk about the research behind the pokistter

Yes yes so uh my pcstis called thrive uh and you can find out the mamaasa or itunes or uh that is um it is nt chinese english uh

And i have tetebehind it ah and i have to talk about the research first before the pocastter

Yes and think think can

Can it

It the other poccaster

I listen to when the things that weve been talking about today um the things i care about you h when tecame to china

I wanted to be involved in what was changing

Was happening

And i think ive done that and ive been at the forefront with youth and understanding um moather life is like and and ive been in a place beijing and shanghai

Where bright people are gathering i found exactly what i was hoping for i these places

Beijing and shhahai in especially beijing is a place

Where really amazing people gather and not just chinese

But people from molof the theyve been gathering here from many years

And actually today even just if you just talking about the start up market right because when ive got here fifteen years ago

There wasnt start art market um

It was just a lot of really bright people just trying to create that creators

Yes

Raw creators

And of course now today

If you look at

You know

If you google the listing of the top start up markets in the world right so welcome valley

And then beijing and israel like its like districtly places

Um

And so we have

We have in last fifteen teen really seseen this gathering really bright people

And iand ive been privilege to meet a lot with them

And to talk with them

And to understand their story

Understand where they come from

And you know

Wow

Ive been here for last fifteen years

Theres been a burning quesuh

It came from my own life

And it was simply this which is you know i got here

And im in

In

In the middle of such excitement and change

And i ask myself

One question

I looked around me

I said why are the only one here from my neighborhood or from my network

From all my friends

Everyone had the same opportunities

I did

I not

Not smarter than anyone else like actually

A lot of my friends are had better marks than i did in

In school

A lot of them you know

And everyone has privilege like you know middle family and which fessionals

Great degreree

Where why i the one here

Here

Where res everyone else

And i start to ask all the other bright people around me in beijing and in shanghai

It all is amazing people

Entrepreneurs

Thought

Leaders

H the world

Crazy things

Ted speakers

You know people that are people

You know

Know h the world economy for unlike just amazing people and

And asked the same question

Like hey

How many people that you grow up with which is doing stuff

Amazing stuff

And all of them had the same answer

Which is everybody just me

And that led me to an important question

Which is why ask why just a few of us

What makes us different than everyone else it wasnt money

You know i didnt come from a very wealthy family

And actually many of the people i had interviewed and denither

It wasnt um privilege

It wasnt power

It wasnt iq

So what exactly moves somebody to pursue greater things in the world

I mean

I alloed my friends are today

Lawyers

Doctors and engineers and those are all good things

But in the end

End theyre doing

Is theyre chasing sing middle class dream

I mei just want to live a life

And i just want to have a house

In a car

And just live a pleasant life

And not motivated to pursue the bigger things in the world

And the things are important

Not just to themselves

Maybe too more people to themselves

So i asked that question

I start to see that theres something different

And i want to fifigout what i was on the flip site

On the same side working at authology these many years

I start to see something as well i start to see

And we talked about it through this pcast a lot

A whole generation

Who have the iq

Who actually have the finances a lot

People are well offer many people in the middle class city educated fairly well um have the opportunity

And yet dont stand up

Weve heard it again

Again in this pockets

And i said every day in my work

Young people have all the opportunity

And do not set p do

Do not dream

What im pcome ong here is dream

What

What i fell through the research

Over the years of that the young people

The next generation

They are dreaming to getting smaller

They dont even dare to dream today

They only focus s on survival

But when we this

This because facfacts and figures tell us that actually

This is the most privileged generation especially in china

In the history of chinese people

This generation of trinesppeople is the most ppvilege

Most everything going for them

The most educated

The most amount of income

The most amount of time

Everything opportunity

Everything

And yet they are the least dreaming generation

And so i saw

On both sides i saw one side

Theis a story

And theres a truth

And theres a wisdom that can be learned from those bright people

That are coming here pursuing something greater themselves

And on this side

I see that theres a growing generation

That is having less unless of a chance of catering

That and i wanted to change that i saw

That has the big issue that i could take part in we talked about they gates foundation today

And then

And their core values is about um equtive opportunity

The theme of my life has always been other than impact

And in over the years

What has grown out of impact is one thing

Which is in order for me to pursue impact um

I need to think strategically about another key theme and key word

And that key word is leverage because im not billiamindicate i dont have billions of dollars with how can not in their shoes

I can only think about what i can do

And i honestly

I truly hope

And i trubelieve

Ve everyeveryththks

Similarly

Which is what leverage with what you have right

How can you leverage what you have something might not

Not everything thing might not are people in there

But you have something how can you leverage it for greater

And so ive always been about leverage

Because which is ii came to china

Which is why im working with young

Because so to me working in the place in the world

Where most things are changing with the segment of people in that ter

And is seleing the change younage people im positioning myself for the most leverage

If i can change something with this group of people

Actually the ripple effects of impact are much greater

Thats what leverage es because so me working

I found

Found that

And i is this disconnect on hope

What we talked about of dreams

And i want to understand what is it in our upering in our lives

As we grow up that germinates

And grows um a sense of confidence

The ability to dream um and and also uh sense of self

So that you know how to navigate and make your own path in this world

When the world like we have today is always

Always ging

And they know always chaoic

You know the reason why we have these pessimists the reason why people on dreams

Because they see chaos

And theyre frightened

Right we

We talour foceas its basily that forces basic people that see chaos are frightened

And theyre try to cope with that chaos

And that risk by just saying im

Im not doing ing

嗯

But the the opportunity

And its not just opportunity

The crisis that we have today is

If china is going to be an impackful nation to the world

If chinas going to reforforard ard itself self

Its going to need to figure out how to find hope

But its going a need to figure how to build individuals people that dream

And so i want to to be a proof

That so what i did

Because i started a research project

And i did it outside the company

Because i it was a persarch passion

And i had learned how to do research

Now coming the reydology and a professional research

So so i as well do some research

So ii build a search project

That i conducted research for five years

I found some truly amazing individuals

Really outlives people that are doing crazy amaduals

People who come from very himal backgrounds

And not privilege

And not special but they have built fifial life

Or i would say highly impacacful lives

And and i

And i went

And i decoded i peal back

And

And underunderood

And and d to fiure out what are the things that made them

Who they are

And also what are the experiences that enable them

To develop that way that journey led me of course deep into their family histories

The personal histories and was their family histories

All their histories

And of course i love history

So that makes it easy um but im able to peal back the psyche

You know again people i jorain peerce in people like dancar and really help because their findings

And able to pick through

And and are the key experiences

And what are the key things that link to motivation

Link to identity

Link to value creation

What are those things

And so

So after five years

Ive

Ive been able to um christalialiinto

Um my findings

And my findings are but in a podcast

In a podcast series

And and so my findings are boil down into um mifinings

I call thrive

And its its twelve distinct traits of thriving individuals

And also ten um developmental experiences of these thriving ic viduso so i dont fy twelve things

Twelve traits

Were talking about characteristics of

Of perperof these people

People are different than normal people

People so the normal people talk about our people that are pursuing their life

You try to live a be successful as the as the way the society uh defines it

You know that from me as normal right

So just people that just want to get a job and have family

Or just try to get through life and live well

But they dont really know what theyre doing

Or they dont its not that clear

嗯um

But i found that

These different people that are living differently

And they have this amazing ability to create their own path

And to create successful path

That are that no one else has ever created before

And theres nobody in front of them

And theyre able to navigate through chaotic world and create value

And my hope is of course that these ignit and to enable more people to be like that to transition from being a normal person

Who is just try to get buy

And maybe a being afraid of chaos and changed the world to transition youd to being somebody that is confident

That you can acactually create path

That not just fits you

But also adds value to the world

What i found in the insights is that i found a twelve distinct traits

And then thrive individuals have that most normal dont

And i want to bring light to those traits

That those are actually important for us to have

And then

Of course i liinted to ten development experiences

Experiences

That you should have experiraing up

They should be experilited of

Of who you are from a baby through childhood

Through anallessons

Through a doulghod

These are experiences that actually grow those twelve traits

And thats what i found through

Through this research

And thats what my podcasting is

And so it gets the question about why podcasting you know

And you ask me before you know what i blog again

And the reality is that you know um after i did this research

I ask myself

And i ask my team

What is the best way to have this stuff disseminated

And what is the best way to put this in the hands of people

I thought a long time i read a book

Because i have enough to to have a book

But the reality is that people dont read books today

And i thought you know how about blogging

But the reality is that very few

Is that read a lot of from book today

Theyre just reading short snipatian

There

But this stuff is really rich

And i

And i was trying

But what is the media format that can deliver rich things in a way that fits peoples lives

And of course i was specifically focused on my target audience

My target audience

They

People that should be listening

This are basbasicyyounpeople as well as people that are in relationships about to get married

So

So why they are married

And try to form family

So know yknow dont can imagine yg people

You know young professionals

People getting married

And people having families

What they dont have is time

And theyre very busy

Yeah

So i try to pick a format

They fit their lives

And that format is podcaast its both rich

I can cut up into small episodes

They can listen to it

While there doing ing

Other things like driving or getting up in the morning or stuff

And thats exactly what our metric sellace right

When we look at the podcast

And who listens

And when they listen

They listen the morning

When they get up

They listen that night

Before they go to sleep

They listen when theyre driving

So we know they are hading right

So thats why should be the forrives cause

And

And courcourse makes it easier

Because honestly im too busy to write a book

You know um

It was so much easier for me to set up a mike

And just open my mouth

And just let things flow

I mean this stuff because ive been doing for

For lemany years

And its so deeping me

So i can just open my mouth

I can just talk about it

And im thats privthe easiest way in the quickest way

So um thats why i did

I recorded in the span of just a uh mother too i recorded all the original episodes

So about twenty five episodes

So i was the original content

All the the key insize the keylers

And i record them all

And so now i have a team

Thats cutting it and polishing in a little bit and releasing it and in a tiny manner

And as ive been doing that uh i now have a chinese partner who was actually taking my podcast and doing the chinese version

Of course in the hopes to spread to more people especially here in china

So we now have a chinese and the english version of the same thing

And and so the original content that still now been released for releasing one two oppoodes per week um in chinese in english

And after we finish the original were onna be then producing new content

And our new content will be um really more stories

And

And py people land and answer the questions about because can we usually this stuff to their life day day day

Especially here in china

Ina kevin

Just

Just wer the question tion and try thasked a lot of new question and reanswer

You know so all the question

I want to asking the first place

But this

This very

Very compleacactually i was defintely tely ong the

The earliest audience who tried thrive as soon it was

Was leeased

And we was fascinated by how specific and how analytical

It is because its just it talks a lot of different things

That we

We may ignore on a daily basis

Because we dont usually make observations

And dont usually see through this so peoples behavior or our own behaviors

When we are live here in chlife

Its very insightful

Actually

You know production wise kevin just benefited a lot from the democratic feature of poccast as a medium

He just spontaneously recorded you know every ephisothat you can imagine on his phone in a very spontaneousway

So i think its just amazing for

For our peers

You know young peoples even to get to know this

Because a lot of things

Things especially

Life lessons are not acquired on coursara were on you know other you know which hat like subscription accounts or a bble influencers

You cant learn that through these channels

Sometimes you just need people to give you some hints

And then you need to reflect on yourself in a very challenging

In a very difficult

In a In a

In a very demanding way

I mean this is something thats probably we need to figure out ourselves

So thats my

My first hand feedback after listening to threat we

We

Sometimes we do a lot of things

But we we

We lack thinking

We dont think that hard

Equally

So its just very hard for us to figure out

Yes

I am still not successful

Why other peoples are successful

We

We cant just focus on the surface

So h everything is nenected

Yeah Yes

Exactly what i felt you know

Listening to

Of course

Lots of uh start up podcast or business poadcast

Legal pocast

As well is for example course

Sarah and stup everytaltalabout all these skills

Ls know like how to give a speech or how a network

Or how did you know whatever like they talk all these hard ssls ls ii found that there was deep gap

But that deep gap is the fundamental one

Which is 是有what makes you

You

What builds your motivation how do you get up in the morning

And how do what drives you

And you know how to design your drive

And what are the pillars of who you are

I just found that theres specilittle out there outside of for example faith base podcast

But theres nothing that is secular or neutral ground that can speak everybody

And so i wanted to do that in my deepest hopes in this podcast are to give people hope and to give people encouragement

Because what i found some the key findings

And this podcast is you know especially with all the amazing people i meet

It doesnt take take lot lot of money

It doesnt take a lot of money to raise a great young person

It doesnt take high super high q to be successful in life

It doesnt take all the apportas

That

That nobody else that is not only those people that become successful

You susucceful

But the question is

嗯

Do you know how and making success is starts from it always start an ends with

Do you know yourself and so thats what this policus is done

Its just to give people hope in this crazy changing perspective world

To know that

Youre going to find not just a direction

But also find thriving find to know how way of life that works through you yes you know and through your own sufer relections

And so you h thats actually what it is um and like the people

I listen to

I add want andifferent different lenses

And And

And layers

Onto way

I talk about from a chron logical perspective

I talk about from a sociological perspective

I talk about from a behavior and environmental perspective

Um you know

I have know and of course a psychological perspective

To help us really understand the mechanics

But also find really understacand

And to give us loloical perspective

How are built and if theres something that 嗯

Wasnt built well we can go back and change it or fix it the realities that most of us

Us just just outoutcome of our experiences

And those outcomes are out of control

We never had any control or design on those experiences

And

And were just a product of that

But what im trying to say here is

And what i saw from everybody that i met in the research

That you have every opportunity and every chance to go back and tinker with yourself

To change yourself and to work through things

And then you

Your

Your ic so that it gets better and better

And then that way you get stronger and stronger

You get smarter

Smarty get sharper and sharper

And thats when you can forge away for yourself forward

Yes

So basically we can listen to this poccast

And use it as a assessment wall at least

Thats so i mean thats one of the yeah

Thats the very basic

Thats right objective that we can

We can gain through uh through listening to

To thrive

So um

And also i know that um m uthologies trying to organize different kinds of like workshops um alongside releasing this popkcbut the worworkshop is more targeted at parents

And you know are people or young people

Who are uh curious to learn more about parenting

Parenting is such a big issue in china

Its a massive

And heres a thing like if we just look on the demographics right china is not just getting older

But we are facing a major

Major drop in in a fertility right massive drop

And thats not just uh an economic issue

Thats a fundamental issue

Like we dont have people actually in china

And thats not just china actually

This is having all of the world

Yes

Ah and again its because young people do not all they see are all the negatives with having children and having families

And nobody ys talking about what the positive are

And also no ones talking about how you can actually face all those podon code negative things

Thats this podcast actually expores

And these so those things and finds that theres completely different ways of looking at families and building families and setting up the next generation for success

Thats my hope to set up every next generation for success

Thats why im in nethothology

Thats i came to china to help and to be part of setting up generations for better success

I think apart from uh current released episodes im still looking forward to more different you know styles or different formats of perfect or its related content

And because think its definfintely tely need more time i mean takes time innonovation

And also out of riit

Its just just like proprocess is says you know everything is just innovor so know an something lewe can resperct ct mean an know i leararned from dan carland

Right he started ted long long o and hehis listenership was like tiny

And its just slowly build over it

And of course then hes build a business

It you know so again if you

If you know innovation

If you

If you practial innovation

Like we do

That were professional innovation

Connovation

So we understand a timelit takes for innovation

And also not just that were also cultural innovators

So we understand the timeline and takes for cuculal change

And need

Need learn epatience

And you need to take a long road and uthology

We have organized ourselves uh

And we continually organizze ourselves around key social movements

That we believe are important for the future of this next eration ation for country

Country for the world

And what we do is we take a thought leadership to those social movements

And then we find innovation space for brands and companies to be involved as well as indifordual to also come and to create together and coggate together

And so you

You know this

This

This podcast is just the starting of one specific area

And a specific area talking king is

Is exexactly what we mentioned is exfuture

Family

Future

Education

Future of sufreflection

Future of

And we people learn to build life in a costly changing vironment

Ybe be the indiformaof like freelance lelevement its all related

And so this is what were talking about this new movement on things like how do you educate yourself in a world brothers too much information

And what is the information that you should be spending time

And and and things like how do you build a social unit

Thats family or maybe its beyond just family

Were not just talking about classic nuclear families

Here like theres not just a mother

Father and a kid

Were talking about any partners coming together or people that are adopting you know caregivers or even educators or talking king about anyone that finds themselves responsible for young pertoday in some way or influencing on person someway um

And thats a domain of space

And that theres a movement

There theres

Theres so much innovation

Thats needed

When it comes to how familys existence society or now young people are educated today one h or how we find our past

And thats

Thats

What this whole things right now we can all grasp something out of each episode

That we recommend ded there though seeseeset that we

We cover different thems and styles or different even edustries

But everything is really relevant one another

Yeah

Its just about what kevin has been repeating in this episode

A lot of key conconcepfor for example innovation

For example self value

For example persistance

For example persevilians

These where i very the critical to king and to me and probably to a lot of audience out there here we are curious to figure out

Where we are going yeah in exmodern

Thats where we are heading like its my like as much as i talk about history stuff

Actually im extremely future orient you call me a podcaster

Thats a title call me

Me on my links in page

Itll say that im a future ous um and actually thats what i spend my time thinking

But which is what is the future loolike like

And when i look at the future

Of course

And looking yet the signals that we have today um

Where i find the key stuff

Actually im working on stuff like this

Ah just want want um help each of us create a better future

Not just for ourselves before each other

And we have to start from the fundamentals

If we dont review our fundamentals

Theres not any technology or any new product that will build a fix it in the end

Its about me you and how we relate together

Yes i think a good beginning

Would be listening to the pocast
