Power Coupling: USA & China Talks

De-coupling is out, Power Coupling is in. The US-China relationship is as beautiful as it is complicated. Part of the problem is we don't get to talk to each other enough and learn from one another's daily life. We're here to change that! Through fun, friendly, and engaging dialogue, we seek to build bridges and better understand the people from these two countries and beyond. Let's get to know each other better and have some fun while we're at it! Your host Greg Garrigues invites all to listen in as we discuss a variety of topics that shape the our lives and cultures, particularly in the US and China. You'll learn something about each other, and sometimes, learn something about yourself. Tune in, come together, and start the conversation!
