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.
