In this episode, I talked with my pal Aaron. He's not only a cool guy, but he's also my Bangkok shepherd because. 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.

Aaron is a productivity and systems expert that helps companies and executives improve their performance. There’s another parallel here because I hired someone almost exactly like him a few years ago and it completely changed my life. 

In this episode, we have a pretty wide ranging talk about Thai politics and staying out of the international spotlight, the prominence of mommy and daddy issues in Asia, how to make effective snap judgments on people, and the major benefits of living in a place where you look like the majority.
