52 Internet: Brendan Davis, A Colocated American Expat Film & TV Writer, Producer, Director and Podcaster

In this podcast episode we chat with Brendan Davis, an American expat who has lived in China for many years. Brendan is a Film and TV Writer, Producer, Director and fellow Podcaster. His podcasts are: If I Knew You Better, Big Fish in the Middle Kingdom and How China Works. Brendan somehow has kept grounded as has been involved with some pretty spectacular creative projects globally. Okay, to be honest, he is a bit crazy, good crazy, as his website, (https://www.crazyinagoodway.com) admits to. The kind of crazy that you want in your life and in your earbuds.

Listening Tip: Brendan had a powerful conversation recently with his dear friend Carl King on Carl’s podcast, The Carl King Podcast, where they dove way deeper into many aspects of the Brendan’s background including but not limited to his musical career (spoiler: he was on https://soundcloud.com/carlkingdom/brendan-davis-interview-carl-king-podcast-15-060619 (https://soundcloud.com/carlkingdom/brendan-davis-interview-carl-king-podcast-15-060619)
