show moreFirst, Amanda Larson. Amanda is a writer, mother, grandmother, and digital nomad who travels the world while continuing her work. Her journey has taken her to incredible places like Barcelona, Ireland, Thailand, Vietnam, Bali, Egypt, Italy, and Paris. In our discussion, we explore her experiences as a digital nomad, the profound lessons she’s learned about herself, others, the world, and the meaning of life. Amanda is also launching a podcast to share inspiring stories about the extraordinary people she’s encountered along the way.
Then Wayne Ng joins the show to discuss his new novel, "Johnny Delivers". Set in 1977, the story follows 18-year-old Johnny Wong, the son of Chinese immigrants to Canada, as he calls upon the spirit of Bruce Lee to navigate the enduring challenges of racism. The novel delves into how discrimination shapes our inner lives, institutions, relationships, and livelihoods, while also tackling themes of toxic masculinity, homophobia, and the universal struggle for belonging. With Canada recently marking the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Exclusion Act, the book's themes feel especially poignant. Combining an emotionally gripping narrative with a distinctly Canadian setting and universal relevance, "Johnny Delivers" is a must-read.
