Joan Liu

Joan Liu, University Advisor at United World College of Southeast Asia in Singapore, joins Ken to share her multi-continental leadership journey, including the powerful story of how she and her colleagues in the Nepal Justice League helped find college homes for dozens of Nepalese students whose scholarships were revoked by the University of Texas at Tyler in mid April, 2018.  Learn more about Joan's superpowers, including why, when something is not a definitive yes, it's a definitive no.

Shoutouts abound throughout this episode... too many to list here (so you'll just have to get out your bingo card and play along).
