125. Jason Smith: "Crossing The Bridge"
Manage episode 366414940 series 3461129
Jason Smith is host of The Bridge Podcast, a show focused on building bridges between East and West by going beyond the headlines to find common ground amongst perceived opposites in the world. He seeks to bridge his American home with his Chinese home through dialogue and understanding and is also a social media influencer with nearly 1 million fans. Today we drink some baijiu from Inner-Mongolia and talk about Jason's recent travels, we talk about the term "laowai" and if it's derogatory to foreigners. We discuss anti-Asian hate crimes. Jason talks about growing up in a family of Jehovah's Witnesses, the importance of having diversity of ethics and opting out of a culture of politicization. We also discuss tempering our impulse to have opinions about everything, fixing problems through finding common ground, Chinese movies and why provocative questions can be useful.
