Newsletter: Did China Just Miscount In The Amount of 2 Spains?

Dear Global Business Enthusiast,

Michael Michelini (@michelini) here. You’re getting this email because you requested my periodic thoughts on international business from Hong Kong.

[Edit: Actually, it’s possible that you’ve never gotten an email from me. Somebody might have just given you the link to this page, which is an online archive of an email that I sent to folks who had asked for it. If you’d like to get articles like this in your inbox, totally free, about once a week or two, give me your email address.]
This week: Population miscount, superstar how to China, HK travel guides, and more

Weather is crazy past few days here, super humid, then raining, hope everyone is staying cool and dry – good things to be 😉

This week’s podcast – we have Kevin Chen, founder and CEO of italki .com – an authority marketplace for language learning around the world. He gave me a lot of great tips and advice when I was building up my app startup Social Agent years ago, and is a person who just gives and gives – and today is a perfect example of that with his open sharing on the start, struggles, lessons, and celebrations he has been through building up the world’s top language learning marketplace, italki.com – now, let’s take it away Kevin!
