Newsletter: UK’s reports clampdown in Hong Kong

This week I have been cooped up working at the Shenzhen studio (home office) – skipped the cross-border travels to Hong Kong for once.

We have quite a few amazing women in the Global From Asia team, and yesterday was International Women’s Day – make sure to thank those women in your life today if you forgot!

Do we need to have kids go to school anymore? I’m not sure anymore, and I am trying to convince my wife to have Miles and Maggie (my kids) skip it – today we have Jason Green on the show who traveled the US in his mom’s hippie van and had no problem in his life or career – actually he says it helped him!

We have a guest post – talking about invoices for international compared to domestic businesses.
