85: Whats it Like to Appear on TV before 6 million people 3 times a day for 19 years by Heidi Dugan

Published: May 25, 2020, 8 p.m.

Today, we continue the conversation with one of the world\u2019s biggest superstars that many outside of China have never heard of.\xa0 Part of me thinks she might like the fact that she isn\u2019t recognized by people, as her humility oozes from her media presence.\xa0

Australian-born Heidi Dugan had a quick stint in Japan in her 20s that changed her life.\xa0 Detouring through China, she first landed in Wuhan and was transported by the culture.\xa0 Eventually marrying her Kung Fu teacher (as you do), now speaking fluent Mandarin, and becoming the first foreigner to appear as the host of a TV show, called \u201cYou are the Chef\u201d.\xa0 Appearing on Chinese TV for the past 17yrs means that many millions of people grew up watching her.\xa0 She now has two children and three companies, has written 2 cookbooks, consults to Fortune500 companies on the Chinese marketplace, is Managing Director for a trading company, and somehow finds time to be given the first ever foreign permit to host a LIVE broadcast on \u2018The Oriental Shopping Channel\u2019 (seen by more than 70million ppl) where she is known to do millions of $$ of sales in 90mins!!

How does this demure and graceful-looking Grace Kelly do it all??\xa0 Her story is so important as she remains agile in life and open to opportunities around her. She is definitely \u201cin the game\u201d of life and I want to talk to her about her daily wellness routine and how she manages to raise two incredible children amidst a big life.\xa0 It\u2019s stories like Heidi\u2019s that reminds us all of what\u2019s possible\u2026

Whether its an interview w Haarpers Bizarre or the Australian Financial Review, she always come across as herself \u2013 the real deal.\xa0 These are the kind of people we love bringing into the light here on \u201cIn the Game Podcast\u201d

Thanks Heidi for taking being flexible and open to recording this a second time after zoom had a malfunction our first time around \u2013 this is like that great opportunity to ask all those things I\u2019d wish I\u2019d asked the first time around\u2026\xa0
