For the second episode of the Taiwanology podcast, we hopped on a plane and took a trip to India. The 3 Commonwealth reporters Elaine Huang, Andy Yang and Peiying Hsieh visited India to get insights into the Indian Electronic Manufacturing Industry, and especially the working conditions of Foxconn in India. Recently, India is becoming increasingly important for international electronic manufacturers, partly due to its low labour costs, partly due to rising manufacturing costs in China. Numerous international corporations are investing in India to build new factories. Above all, Foxconn, the largest manufacturer of iPhones globally. Together with Vedanta, Foxconn is investing $20 billion in the Indian state of Gujarat to build a gigantic semiconductor manufacturing facility. Further investments into India might follow over the next few years and Foxconn could create thousands, if not hundred of thousands of new jobs in India. Andy, Elaine and Peiying also met with workers at a current Foxconn facility in India. They even had the opportunity to visit one worker's home. Everything about Taiwanese investments in the Indian Electronics Manufacturing industry in this episode!

The hosts of this podcast went to high school together and wrote movie reviews for the school paper from 1990 until 1992. How'd those reviews age? Hashtag CRINGE. But there's a random nice mention of former classmate Andrew (we knew him as Andy) Yang. Music by Satanic Panic '81. This is episode 137. https://satanicpanic81.bandcamp.com/

Don't miss my upcoming appearances: The Las Vegas Trading Conference, Oct. 4-5 The Dallas Money Show October 13-14 and the New Orleans Investment Conference, Nov. 1-4 Let's Debunk Andy Yang's Platform I decided to take a little time out on my Labor Day to record a podcast debunking Democratic Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang. I've been getting a lot of emails about Yang; especially since he did the Joe Rogan Podcast about six months ago. He said a lot of things that certain people find appealing, so I've been asked to comment on him and I've seen other notes about Andy Yang and I wanted to talk about him because, number one, he is rising in the polls. He's now in sixth place among the Democratic candidates; he's polling at about 3% ant that puts him ahead of established politicians like Cory Booker, Beto O'Rourke, Amy Klobuchar, so he's gaining in popularity and I think the trend is going to continue. Yang Rising in the Polls The next Democratic Debate is coming up in about a week and a half and they're no longer going to have two debates; they've narrowed it down to just ten candidates and Andy Yang is one of those 10. I think as there are fewer candidates in the race, Yang is going to get more and more attention from the media and I think he is going to rise in the polls. Attractive Among a Bunch of Democratic Socialists To me, he is like the Bernie Sanders of this campaign. Sanders, and "Feeling the Bern"… he was popular in the 2016 campaign, mainly because he was the only alternative to Hillary Clinton, who was extremely unpopular. So, given that matchup and there was only two choices, it made it very easy for Sanders to gain a lot of support. He's having a much harder time galvanizing that support this time because people have a lot of alternatives. If you want a Democratic Socialist, there's a bunch of them to choose from. Clearly a Smart Guy… But But a guy like like Andy Yang, a younger guy, and clearly a smart guy. I had not watched his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience until just yesterday. I decided to watch it, and that's the motivation for doing this podcast. Once I heard him talk about his ideas, I spent a lot of time on his website looking at a lot of things he didn't discuss with Joe Rogan. One thing is certainly clear to me: he's a smart guy. Clearly, if you gave an IQ test to all of the Democratic candidates, Yang would win.

In today's episode, Andy details his experience moving from VC to entrepreneur, what 500px's company culture is like, and explains his job as CEO of a leading tech company.
Andy Yang, 500px Show Notes Andy Yang is the CEO of 500px and an advisor with MaRS’ Consumer & Commerce cluster (https://www.marsdd.com/our-sectors/information-and-communications-technology/consumer-commerce-cluster/) . He has spent more than 15 years in technology as an investor (angel and institutional), banker, consultant and advisor. Currently, Andy is CEO of 500px, a premium photography community funded by Andreessen Horowitz, Harrison, Metal, and ffVC. Previously he was an investor at Extreme Startups and a venture capitalist at Relay Ventures. Most passionate about today Currently I’m the CEO of 500PX which is a global community for photographers, so I’m really passionate today about connecting people through their visual story telling. A picture is worth a thousand words, we believe everyone is creative at their core, they were born creative and it’s our mission to drive that creativity out of them. 500PX’s mission is to enable and rewards visual creativity. We are providing the tools, inspiration and platform for doing that. It’s amazing to see how many people love the platform and are so enthusiastic and passionate about 500PX and photography. So one of my passions is to work with the community. Your company 500PX was started by two amazing entrepreneurs. The first was Evgeny Tchebotarev, a professional travel photographer. He unofficially started this company back in 2004 and this was a few months before Flicker started. He was searching for a place to post his best images, and he couldn’t find one, so he started a blog on Life Journal and he started posting his best images, and he got amazing traction, a lot of people were reviewing the images and his personal and professional network started asking him to post their images on his blog. He had two rules: It has to be among your best works It has to be at list 500 Pixel in dimension. That’s where the name came from. It grew organically for 5-6 years, than Evgeny met his co-founder, Oleg, an amazing developer, and he had the insights and foresights to say let’s take the blog to our own platform. So they launched the company on 2009, then things really started to take off and they opened it to the community. As for how I joined the company, I moved to Toronto six years ago and I covered 500PX as an investment, I was on the venture capital side. I really loved the platform, loved the community and loved the founders. We kept in touch and then I joined the team a couple of years later. I‘ve always been a really big fan of what they were doing and about the global community. Who your customers are? It has changed over time… as I explained the history of the company, it was definitely geared toward professional photographers mainly in travel, as the founders turn it to a platform, and they started getting a much more diverse set of content and a much more diverse set of photographers who joined in. As mobile exploded it really diversified our customer based. Our customer personas: At the very bottom of the pyramid we have casual users that are in to view images and galleries, hoping to be inspired or to post in our site. As we move up the pyramid there are the hobbyists. People that see photography as a hobby (they also will usually own a dedicated camera). This composes the largest group in our site. They are very interested, they want to learn and to get better, and they invest in their community. As we go up the pyramid there are what we call the semi-pros, they will potentially shoot commercials, are interested in monetizing their work. They own much more sophisticated gear. At the very top of the pyramid is the last group, our pros those are people that are fully dedicated professionally, they will shoot commercials, license images, go on assignment for different clients. We kind of serve those four personas. We found them out over time by interviewing and understanding our audience. So
Jeremy Bolen, Emily Eliza Scott, and Andy Yang take on Sensing and the Anthropocene at the HKW in Berlin! Real show note soon.
