b'Martial arts is a metaphor for life. Did you ever think about that? It requires a fine balance of the body, mind, and spirit - a keen understanding of people and their intentions, skill, flexibility, wisdom, focus, anticipation, practice, and after you are hit to the ground with this challenge or that level of adversity, you muster up the courage and willpower to stand up and fight again. That is what living is all about.\\nToday, I am joined by a woman who lives by this philosophy more than anyone I know. She is Shannon Emery Lee.\\nShe\\u2019s famously known as Bruce Lee\\u2019s daughter but she is SO much more than that and is carving her path and place in this world in such an authentic way. Across the globe, billions revere her father who made his mark as an incredibly talented martial artist, filmmaker, actor, and philosopher. But to her, he was simply Dad. To say she had big shoes to fill is an understatement, and to think her father\\u2019s shoes were never worn again when he died at the age of 32 and little Shannon was just 4 years old.\\nShannon has been a keen martial artist throughout life in her own way. She\\u2019s also an American singer, actress, producer and entrepreneur. After her father\\u2019s death, her mother Linda Lee Cadwell left Hong Kong and raised her in California along with her brother Brandon Lee, who also died far too young during an accident while shooting for a film.\\nPeople tried to tell her that acting was not good for the family but Shannon decided to maintain the legacy of her father and learned martial arts from his students. She then made her debut into film and TV with movies like Enter the Eagles and Martial Law. She endeavours to preserve and promote her father\\u2019s legacy as the president of the Bruce Lee Foundation and Bruce Lee Enterprises.\\nHer book Be Water, My Friend pays homage to her father\\u2019s life and teachings, and her most important role is being a dedicated mother to her daughter Wren.\\nWelcome to the show, Shannon!\\nLet\\u2019s bow in ceremoniously to this interview so that we are both aware and present.\\nMeet My Guest:\\nINSTAGRAM: @therealshannonlee'
