The Lonely Podcaster

The Lonely Podcaster is a raw and personal journey into the life of an expat entrepreneur navigating business, culture, and identity in Shanghai. It’s about the quiet moments between the hustle — the early mornings in coffee shops, the late nights of reflection, and the in-between spaces where ideas are born. Each episode shares unfiltered thoughts on running a business abroad, cultural clashes, family life far from home, and the challenges (and beauty) of building a life outside your comfort zone. It’s not polished or scripted — just real stories from someone trying to make it work, one episode at a time.

PerOla Hammar

Hi there, I'm PerOla Hammar and I'm excited to share my experiences with you. With 18 years of experience working in software development, programming, web development, graphics, apps, and social media, I've had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects that have helped me grow both personally and professionally. I currently live in Shanghai, where I've been for the past 6 years. During this time, I've gained a vast amount of experience running a business in China, including knowledge of how to incorporate here and finding good deals for companies looking to purchase from Asia. I'm looking forward to sharing my insights and expertise with you through our discussions.
