Today, I review I Am Not Jessica Chen, by Ann Liang! Goodreads: Ellie Mano Instagram: @hookofabook Email: hookofabookpodcast@gmail.com

Launching a startup is challenging. It becomes even more difficult when tackling personal and business finances that confound entrepreneurs. Enter Uprise, the brainchild of Jessica Chen Riolfi and her co-founders. Uprise offers human-driven financial advisory services embedded into small business (SMB) platforms, like banks or personal finance sites. Uprise addresses the unique financial needs of entrepreneurs which include dealing with personal and professional cashflow. Jessica has extensive experience from companies like Robinhood, Earnin, Wise, and eBay. This background drives her approach to financial services. Jessica shares, “Financial advisory, in this context, combines personal and business finances. It helps entrepreneurs make holistic financial decisions.” Lack of personalized financial advisory services at Robinhood inspired the genesis of Uprise, especially for SMBs. Jessica shares a passion for simplifying financial products with her co-founders Chris and Nantha. Together, they work to make financial solutions more accessible, bridging the gap between business and personal finance for small business owners. Uprise initially targeted Gen Z and millennials but quickly pivoted to focus on older SMB owners. This shift met the growing demand for comprehensive financial advice. It specifically targeted consultants, freelancers, and creators. “The small business world is one where personal and financial lives are intermingled,” Jessica notes. She underscores the intricate needs of her firm's clientele. The genesis of Uprise Uprise emerges from a vision shared by Jessica and her co-founders, Chris and Nantha. They noticed the gap in financial advisory services for SMBs, where personal and business finances often overlap. As Jessica puts it, “We help them make financial decisions. And we kind of ignore the line between business and personal.” This approach recognizes the unique needs of entrepreneurs. Role of embedded finance in Small Business growth Embedded finance is at the core of Uprise's model. It is integrated into SMB platforms and Jessica explains, “Every small business owner interacting with our platform is assigned a human advisor.” This strategy not only builds trust but also addresses the specific financial advisory needs of SMBs. It offers a personalized experience. Jessica highlights the importance of understanding the distinct needs of different SMB sectors. For example, therapists using the vertical SaaS platform, Heard, prioritize personal relationships. This prompted Uprise to offer more direct communication channels like Zoom calls. “Calls matter a lot to therapists,” Jessica observes. She illustrates Uprise's adaptability to various client preferences. Financial planning for entrepreneurs Uprise has tailored its services to the intricate financial landscapes faced by entrepreneurs. Jessica emphasizes the importance of understanding personal and business finances. She highlights how they are interconnected. She offers advice on entity setup, retirement account options, and mortgage applications. “These are business-related questions, but they very much impact their finances,” Jessica emphasizes. She highlights Uprise's holistic approach. Building successful partnerships with SMB platforms Uprise's success is intertwined with its partnerships, where Jessica sees a collaborative effort. She notes, “It's very much a revenue driver for our partners, who are SMB platforms.” Uprise customizes its offerings to meet the unique needs of each platform. This ensures that both partners and end users enjoy their financial advisory services.

This week on Sinica, I chat with Jessica Chen Weiss, until recently at Cornell University but now the David M. Lampton Professor of China Studies at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, SAIS, in Washington D.C. Jessica, to those of you familiar with her work, has been at the forefront of the fight for a less strident, diplomacy-first approach to China, balancing deterrence with assurances to find a modus vivendi with China. She has challenged prevailing notions about China's intentions, and has called for the U.S. to advance an affirmative vision of how it wants to live in the world with China. We focus in this conversation about a recent piece in Foreign Affairs in which she challenges both the solidity and the logic of the "bipartisan consensus" on China, and holds out hope that a next administration might approach the relationship differently.3:45 – How Jessica has settled into D.C.; her professorial namesake; and how she has become a leading voice for a less confrontational approach to China9:30 – Where Jessica sees diverging views on China in the Republican and Democratic Parties 12:41 – What a more durable basis for coexistence should look like14:46 – Credible deterrence and strategic ambiguity in the context of Taiwan 16:03 – Acknowledgements to limits on American power and the importance of being realistic 18:09 – Assurances on Taiwan and what threatens their credibility 21:13 – The question of engagement and the deterrent effect of economic integration25:30 – How the U.S. can combat legitimate national security threats from China without undermining its own values, and the importance of not treating the Chinese in diaspora as a fifth column 31:31 – Electoral politics: the importance of welcoming and inclusive policies and creating space for debate and discernment35:07 – The importance of testing our assumptions 38:30 – What another Trump presidency might look like 40:30 – How a Harris administration might differ from the Biden administration44:13 – The U.S. and China-Russia relationsRecommendations:Jessica: Valarie Kaur's Sage Warrior: Wake to Oneness, Practice Pleasure, Choose Courage, Become Victory Kaiser: BeaGo, an AI-powered search tool (download from your app store!)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Building on the lessons she learned as an award-winning TV news journalist, Jessica Chen introduces a new way of getting noticed at work, without being loud, aggressive, or boastful. 

Are you the sort of person who works really hard, hits your deadlines, runs successful projects, wins over clients... but never seems to get noticed for all that diligence, much less promoted? Especially if you're on the quieter and more understated side, working in an organization where the loud and showy get the most recognition, this can be frustrating. But there are ways to get noticed while also staying true to yourself, says Jessica Chen. She's a former TV news reporter and the founder of Soulcast Media, a communications consultancy, and she shares lessons about more effective communication and self-promotion. Chen wrote the book Smart, Not Loud: How to Get Noticed at Work for All the Right Reasons.

Have you ever felt like you just don't quite fit into the culture of your workplace? That the way you naturally communicate, in a quieter mode, doesn't align with what's expected and rewarded in a loud culture? If this resonates with you, then you'll want to listen closely to our conversation today, with guest Jessica Chen, an Emmy Award-winning journalist, author, speaker, and CEO of the global business communication company Soulcast Media. In this chat, Jessica and I explore the tension between what she calls "quiet culture" traits like listening more than speaking, keeping your head down to work, and avoiding conflict - and the contrasting "loud culture" traits that are often expected and rewarded in many workplaces. We unpack strategies for how those from quieter backgrounds can get noticed and make an impact without compromising who they truly are.

If genomics gives us an understanding of what risk factors are already in our body, how best should we be using that knowledge? Many people are reluctant to have gene testing which could well save their lives or even their family members; but because they fear that declaring genetic vulnerabilities would affect them financially or leave them prone to discrimination in some form.

Ed O'Malley is the Founder of the Kansas Leadership Center, President and CEO of the Kansas Health Foundation, and the author of four books, including his latest, “When Everyone Leads.” Ed discusses how leadership differs from authority, and that authority is required to lead. He explores the disruptive aspects and the risks of leadership. Ed explains the type of problems authority solves and the challenges that require unleashing the leadership of the whole team to move forward. Listen in for how to move forward when faced with daunting challenges. https://bit.ly/TLP-346   Key Takeaways [3:25] In Ed's book, When Everyone Leads, the key is getting people to separate leadership from authority. In some situations, the reliance on authority gets in the way of progress. We need people to know that even if you're not the captain of the team or boss, the toughest challenges require your leadership, also. The book is about how you unleash that in everybody. [4:45] Ed talks about over-reliance on authority. Authority is necessary, but it's not sufficient for making progress on our biggest problems. Challenges between people need to be resolved by the people involved. [6:14] On our toughest challenges, none of us know exactly the way forward. Trust that the collective is stronger than one person's idea. If we unleash the leadership of others, so they feel empowered to exercise that leadership, then we start making more progress. [6:49] If we assume that we have the answers and we know the best way forward, that conveys a lack of trust in the collective. The toughest challenges get solved by people working together. [8:46] The book is about the toughest challenges. A prerequisite for unleashing leadership in more people is to help people break apart the idea of leadership from the idea of authority. They are different things and people know this intuitively. Ed uses the example of Rosa Parks showing leadership by choosing her seat on the bus. [10:20] Ed wants people to be conscious of the differences between authority, leadership, people holding positions of authority, and people exercising leadership. Sometimes people in authority exercise leadership. Sometimes People not in authority exercise leadership. Sometimes nobody does. If people see it separately, it opens up a conversation about what the exercise of leadership looks like for them. [11:22] Jim cites Jim Detert, author of Choosing Courage, regarding the courage it takes to step up and face big problems. [12:08] Julia McBride, Ed's co-author on the book, would say it's all about clarity of purpose. Those who exercise effective leadership are clear in their deep purpose, and clear on the purpose for the meeting they're walking into and the role they play in that meeting. They're clear on the purpose of the project they're a part of. [12:46] A lot of people's purpose is to keep their boss happy. Our toughest challenges are usually about something a lot bigger than that. Leadership is motivating others to make progress on daunting challenges and it hardly ever happens. [14:24] Ed cites the work of authors Ron Heifetz and Marty Linsky who pioneered the concept of the Zone of Productivity, where there is enough conflict that people are uncomfortable enough to change the status quo, but there is not enough conflict to shut people down. If you don't have enough conflict, nothing is changing. If you have a lot of heat at work, consider if progress is being made in the work. [15:32] If the conflict or heat from the top is not leading to progress, then it's time to ask questions and intervene in the lack of progress. [16:52] An executive team needs a common language to talk about the dynamics of productivity. [17:30] Leadership is always about disrupting things. Ed quotes Marty Linsky, “Leadership is disappointing your own people at a rate they can absorb.” When you're intervening up, you can't anger the boss too much; you might be out! But If you're just keeping the boss 100% happy, you might not be doing anything that looks like leadership. [18:02] Jan recalls Jeffrey Pfeffer's 7 Rules of Power. It's evidence-based, controversial, and makes people very uncomfortable. Two of the rules are “Break the rules,” and “Show up in a powerful way.” These are hard to do. You've got to know how far you can push a boss before you're damaging yourself. [18:36] Ed goes back to being clear about purpose. If your purpose is to get along, be secure, and not rock the boat, you will not get close to exercising leadership. If your purpose is “I want the best value for my clients,” or “I'm a sales leader and I'm taking the organization from this level to that level higher,” then you'll be willing to disrupt the norms. Leadership is always disruptive and risky. [19:18] Ed says all of our research is showing if you get lots more people exercising leadership and intervening to create more progress it makes it more likely you'll get the progress. It's too tough for one or two people to do alone because it's too disruptive. [20:01] A chapter in the book explores the clash of values. Our toughest challenges are often about value clashes. You may have a value of gaining market share and a clashing value of playing it safe and not developing new products because you have a legacy product that has been winning for so long. Leadership is always about helping a system elevate one value over another. There is loss in that. [21:31] Anyone can ask powerful questions. Ed explains that a powerful question comes from deep curiosity and it's open-ended. A question that has an exact technical answer is not a powerful question, it's a fact-based question. Powerful questions help everyone learn. “What's our greatest aspiration for our organization?”, “What concerns us the most?”, “What makes progress so hard on those things?” [22:56] Big open-ended questions are powerful and are often game-changing. Powerful questions often make us uncomfortable. They should force us to slow down a little bit and reflect differently. [24:33] Ed interviewed a sage one time who told him, “Ed, that's a great question! And it's a great question because it doesn't have any answers!” If there's an easy answer, it might not be a good question. [25:01] If what you're working on isn't a daunting challenge; if it's run-of-the-mill stuff; if you've got a deadline and the work is technical, and you've got to meet it, you're going to drive everybody crazy if you're walking around asking big, open-ended questions all the time! It's when you're trying to focus people on the things that matter most that these powerful questions are so needed. [26:10] Less senior people may be granted some grace in asking open-ended questions to reveal less knowledge of the organization's purpose. More senior people may ask powerful questions that tend to shape expectations: “How will we respond to some inevitable failure in our attempts to do X?” This introduces the concept of being adaptive. [28:49] The book discusses technical problems vs. daunting adaptive challenges. If you have the authority, say, “We're solving this technical problem this way.” But it is a mistake to treat a daunting adaptive challenge as if it were technical. Those types of challenges where the problem is poorly defined and the answer is unknown cannot be solved by your authority alone. You won't get progress. [30:34] Jan tells about Bill Dean. They would be at a problem situation and Bill would say, “OK.” It meant he acknowledged, he understood, and they would step back and pause before trying to find out what the issue was. He said OK, and everybody knew it was going to be OK. Jan learned to step back when people are hitting the Panic button. Ed says, on the toughest challenges, help people to go slow. [33:32] Have the awareness to discern when you're facing something adaptive where you don't know the way forward. In that situation, progress is about creating a system that can be iterative, that can be experimental, that can take smart risks, learn from them, and take bigger risks. If the situation doesn't call for that and we bring it, we're just going to create more problems. [34:10] There are a lot of big ideas in the book. One is knowing the difference between the technical problems and the adaptive challenges. They require you to lead differently. Another idea is that your authority is a resource but it is not enough to solve adaptive challenges, so you unleash leadership for others in an iterative, learning environment where risk-taking is expected. [36:25] There are expectations on those in authority. Ed repeats that leadership is disappointing your people at a rate they can absorb. People have expectations of those in authority and history is full of examples of what happens to people in authority if they disrupt those expectations too much. Live within the expectations, but push against them, as well. [37:04] Ed explores how those in authority successfully used leadership during the pandemic to be firm and specific about the process they would use to solve the issue without going into what the outcome of the issue would be. They used authority to help people feel safe and that there is some order to things. They talked about the timeline for bringing the best people together to solve the problem. [38:16] Jim compares how Jessica Chen from the previous podcast episode described the same situation of describing the process you are going through to arrive at an answer when dealing with ambiguity. Jim recommends listening to that episode, as this is a big and important concept. Ed agrees, it is important, but it is hard to practice. Go back to knowing whether it is an adaptive challenge or a technical problem. [39:31] If it's a technical problem and you are in authority, use your authority to solve the problem. For listeners who aren't in authority, Ed reminds you to break apart authority and leadership. If you connect them, it lets everybody off the hook, and it's the CEO's job. That puts too much pressure on those in authority. They can't deliver. The truth is, in the big tough challenges, we've all got a part in the mess. [40:25] Jack Welch said, “You can't scale complexity.” Ed's book leads toward simplifying our approach. Jan recommends listeners read Ed's book. It's easy to read and laid out in a way that's very pragmatic. [42:06] Ed's challenge to listeners: “I think we've got to get the bat off our shoulder and take some swings. … Learn how do you take those swings with confidence and skill so you can get a few more hits than you would otherwise.” [44:12] Closing quote: Remember, “Unity is strength…  When there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.” — Mattie Stepanek   Quotable Quotes “We need people to know that even if you're not the captain of the team, the boss, the CEO of the company, or the mayor of the town, the toughest challenges require your leadership, also.” “I think we have an over-reliance on authority. Authority is useful; it's necessary, but it's insufficient for making progress on our biggest challenges.” “A prerequisite for unleashing leadership in more people is to help people break apart the idea of leadership from the idea of authority. We've got to get people to see them as two different things. They are totally separate. And I think that intuitively, people know this.” “Authority is a role; it's a position, and leadership is an activity. And sometimes those in authority exercise it. But most of the time they don't. And sometimes people not in authority exercise leadership. But a lot of times, they don't.” “The book is counter-cultural, in that regard. We're trying to create a new norm for what leadership even is.” “Leadership is always about disrupting things.” “Leadership is so rare because it's risky; … it's disruptive, which is why all of our research is showing if you get lots more people exercising leadership; intervening to create more progress, it's … more likely you'll get the progress. It's too tough for one or two people.” “Big open-ended questions are powerful and they're often game-changing.” “If what you're working on isn't a daunting challenge; if it's run-of-the-mill stuff; if you've got a deadline and the work is technical, and you've got to meet it, you're going to drive everybody crazy if you're walking around asking big, open-ended questions all the time.” “It's when you're trying to focus people on the things that matter most that these curiosity-based, open-ended, powerful questions are so needed.”   Resources Mentioned Theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by: Darley.com Rafti Advisors.

Jessica Chen is an Emmy Award winner, keynote speaker, former journalist, and CEO of the global business communications agency Soulcast Media. She is a top LinkedIn Learning instructor with over two million learners on self-awareness, personal branding, and executive presence. In this conversation, Jessica shares her knowledge of the essential qualities linked to emotional intelligence. This episode contains counsel for leaders on communication, storytelling, and self-confidence. https://bit.ly/TLP-345   Key Takeaways [2:50] Jessica recently became a new mom. Her little boy just turned one. Becoming a mother was a huge life transition for Jessica. She read parent books about it, but when the baby was born, Jessica learned you've just got to roll with the punches, taking care of a baby. [5:55] Jessica teaches executive presence as how you make other people feel. It depends on the situation and the people. It is learning the soft skills of emotional intelligence. Unconscious bias leads to differences in application between men and women leaders and young and old leaders. Having self-awareness, and speaking clearly and precisely can help you show up and be heard as you want. [8:38] Building credibility is learning how to talk about the things that you have done and owning that. That's a part of showing up. [10:17] Do you deal with a difficult boss? It's hard to do good work when you're micromanaged. Jessica asks, how can you reduce this communications friction? Ask yourself, “What does my manager care about?” Speak their language, consider to whom they are accountable, make them look good, and anticipate what they need. Care about what your manager cares about. Then they will feel you get it. [12:19] If your boss is a bully, that is a terrible position to be in. If you have identified that your boss is completely treating you unfairly, that is not the right environment for you. Ask yourself what are your options. [14:27] If you have lots of substance but very little style, Jessica has some tips for you. Put some color in your speech. Growing up as a woman in a traditional Asian family, Jessica was not taught to put color in her conversation. She was taught to do the work without disturbing anybody. That way of working is not going to help you build the visibility you need in a workplace with charismatic people. [15:24] Style is what makes you memorable. We all have to do good work and perform in our job. It's expected. What makes you memorable is your ability to add some color, meaning energy. The words that you choose to say and the energy and emotion you use can make you stand out with color and style. Finding your color and style makes you memorable. [16:55] Jessica talks about brand. Jessica calls it your career brand. All of us need to think about building a career brand. It's not about social media, although she says LinkedIn is a fantastic place to build your career brand and thought leadership. Thought leadership is important in people seeing you as an expert. [17:47] For listeners not on LinkedIn, consider how you can build thought leadership within your team and organization. Seek opportunities to contribute to a workplace blog. Or simply be more visible by getting on board with some projects so people in other departments can see you. [19:33] A person at a company can make a story good by humanizing it. Who are the people that the numbers in your presentation represent? Behind every customer number is a person with experience and a journey. Humanize the metrics to share the difficult journey the customer went through. Don't just report the issue, find somebody to report the issue through. [22:35] To influence your team to adopt a new process, tell the process through someone's lived experience. Use a made-up name with a real event. [24:03] Jan and Jessica both acknowledge and thank Dean Karrel at LinkedIn Learning for connecting them. Dean is the ultimate connector, asking for nothing in return. [26:23] In the working world, you need to take a lot of information and condense it. The schools should teach conciseness and precision in our speaking. If you're speaking too long, pause and ask yourself this question, “What's the point I'm trying to make?” Then get back on track and get to the point. You can say it out loud: “What I'm trying to say here is, A, B, and C.” [29:13] Jessica shares an aphorism: “A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention.” In communication, capturing people's attention should be your priority. Think about what your audience wants to hear and what they care about. You may have 10 things to share, but what are the three things you want everyone to walk away with? It takes more work to winnow it down, but it is well worth it. [31:03] Good presenters connect their points seamlessly. They communicate the link between the points. It's up to the presenter to talk about that. Use transition words, like “In addition,” or “this brings me now to this point.” Present the relationship between A, B, and C clearly. [33:02] Jessica prefers to prepare carefully rather than be thrust into a high-pressure situation where she has to think on her feet. But she had experience in her journalism days of being thrown into a breaking news situation and having to report the story as it unfolds. Sometimes on the scene, it is sufficient to report what you have already done. That may be what people want to know. [34:03] Communicating the process is a part of communicating and people appreciate it. [36:20] Jessica taught a LinkedIn Learning course on Speaking Up at Work. If she could go back and add one thing to that course, it would be along the lines of building an inclusive speaking environment. How can we all take a proactive approach to making others feel more comfortable speaking up? How can we pave the way for the more quiet person to raise their hand? The loudest person often gets the attention. [38:34] Western society values people who are able to speak up. Eastern culture doesn't tend to put as much value in verbalizing thoughts but the people still have thoughts. Folks who are working with Asians or other minorities on their teams need to be open-minded about some of these assumptions. Being quiet doesn't mean they don't care or they're not engaged. They still want to contribute. [40:00] It can be detrimental to generalize. There are so many different Asian ethnicities. In general, Asian men and women both tend to be humble and show respect and pursue harmony. Being quiet doesn't mean they don't have a lot of value to give. [41:28] Past guest, CEO Colleen Abdoulah had a rule at her company, “Hold your views lightly.” Jan and Jessica agree that having self-awareness and open-mindedness about the people in the room and not assuming certain things about them. There is a diversity in thinking and a diversity in processing. That can help us be more inclusive speakers. [43:19] Jessica sees people struggling with confidence in how they show up in the workplace. They don't feel confident speaking up in a meeting and being perceived the way they want to be perceived. Jessica's specialty is teaching the communication tool to show up and speak up better. She tells them she is happy they are acknowledging this friction and are taking steps to build their confidence. [44:29] The only way to become more confident is to put yourself in these positions and continuously practice while doing it consciously. [46:38] Jessica's advice to senior workers who are reluctant to speak up: “These days, there's always such a reaction to people saying things. … Trust your experience. … Clearly demonstrate your understanding of a thing you want to express. Qualify and quantify what you want to say and then package it in a way that shows your expertise. People will listen. … Own it and provide examples.” [49:21] Jessica's challenge to listeners: “I truly think communication is one of the most important skills for workplace success, regardless of what level you are at. I would challenge the listeners to think about ‘How can I improve my communication skills this year at work?' … Whatever it is, there's always going to be great ROI if you invest in your communication skills.” [50:33] Closing quote: Remember, “Great is our admiration of the orator who speaks with fluency and discretion.” — Marcus Tullius Cicero   Quotable Quotes “If I'm doing a presentation and I want to get my team excited … [I] can leverage some of the soft skills to get them to feel that way.” “All of us need to think about building a career brand. But it's not in the way of social media, especially if you're working in a typical office. … Though, I will say LinkedIn is a fantastic platform to build your career brand.” “Ask yourself, ‘What's the point I'm trying to make here?' … Clarify and get back on track. … Sometimes you've just got to remember to reign yourself back in.” “Every good presenter is able to connect their points seamlessly.” “How can we all take a proactive approach to making others feel more comfortable speaking up? How can we pave the way so that the more quiet person on your team feels comfortable raising their hand?” “The only way to become more confident is you just have to put yourself in these positions and continuously practice while doing it consciously, of course.” “Communication is one of the most important skills for workplace success, regardless of what level you are at. … There's always going to be great ROI if you invest in your communication skills.”   Resources Mentioned Theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by: Darley.com Rafti Advisors.

This week on Sinica, Kaiser welcomes back the Cornell political scientist Jessica Chen Weiss, who is back in Ithaca after a year spent as a CFR International Affairs Fellow working in the State Department's Office of Policy Planning. She talks about an important essay published in the latest edition of Foreign Affairs, titled "The China Trap: U.S. Foreign Policy and the Perilous Logic of Zero-Sum Competition,” which calls on the U.S. to formulate an affirmative vision for the relationship with China instead of pursuing an ad-hoc policy predicated simply on countering what China does.7:17 – Moving away from the current zero-sum framing of U.S.-China competition and adopting an “affirmative vision”12:29 – Shortcomings of the U.S. response to China's strategy in the developing world15:11 – How competition with China framing has adverse consequences for domestic American politics 18:37 – Can the U.S. benefit from adopting certain aspects of the Chinese approach? 20:49 – The steps needed to return to normalized U.S.-China diplomacy25:00 – How can the US properly calibrate its China threat assessment? 34:05 – The relationship between China's domestic challenges and its foreign policyA transcript of this podcast is available at TheChinaProject.com.Recommendations:Jessica: Stephen Walt and Dani Rodrik's essay on a establishing a new global order in Foreign Affairs [forthcoming]; and After Engagement: Dilemmas in U.S.-China Security Relations by Jacques deLisle and Avery GoldsteinKaiser: The Lord of the Rings trilogy audiobooks narrated by Andy SerkisSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, Jessica Chen Weiss joins us to discuss the state of U.S.-China relations and her recent lengthy article in Foreign Affairs. Dr. Weiss evaluates the Biden Administration's approach to China, from the nature of the growing U.S.-China competition to how both sides could approach tensions over Taiwan. She argues that both China and the United States must demonstrate “reciprocal restraint” in order to reduce the chance of conflict and facilitate substantive progress in their relationship. She also offers her perspective on the upcoming Party Congress, evaluating how Chinese President Xi Jinping may behave as he enters his presumed third term. Lastly, Dr. Chen Weiss gives recommendations on how U.S. policy can adapt in order to avoid a “catastrophic” conflict with China. Dr. Jessica Chen Weiss is the Michael J. Zak Professor for China and Asia-Pacific Studies at Cornell University. From August 2021 to July 2022, she served as a senior advisor to the Secretary's policy planning staff at the U.S. Department of State. Her research focuses on Chinese politics and foreign relations with an emphasis on nationalism and public opinion, specifically on the connection between domestic politics and international relations. Dr. Weiss recently published a piece in Foreign Affairs, titled “The China Trap: U.S. Foreign Policy and the Perilous Logic of Zero-Sum Competition.”

The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. This week we are joined by choreographer, dancer, and GYROTONIC® trainer, Jessica Chen. Jessica is sharing how her love for movement and dance led her on a path to find a cross training exercise known as GYROTONIC® and how we can all benefit from this method of movement. Jessica discusses the main principles of GYROTONIC® and how it can benefit professional athletes, people looking to get more movement into their lives and even people who claim to “hate working out.”. Listen in to learn more about GYROTONIC® and how it can be used to restore balance and symmetry in your body.IN THIS EPISODE: ●   [06:47] Jessica Chen shares how movement and her love for dance led her on a search for the perfect cross training exercise.●   [15:30] What is GYROTONIC® and how does it differ from similar practices? ●   [18:32] How to know if GYROTONIC® or GYROKINESIS® is the right fit for you. ●   [22:00] Why GYROTONIC® is great for both athletes and people who hate working out. ●   [30:15] Jessica explains the equipment needed for GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS®.●   [34:28] Should someone start with private lessons or group classes? ●   [38:53] How GYROTONIC® helps you understand where a movement is coming from? ●   [43:50] How to find a qualified trainer near you and what goes into becoming a certified GYROTONIC® trainer.KEY TAKEAWAYS: ●   GYROTONIC® is not just doing the movements, but the quality of how you do the movements. ●   The main focus of GYROTONIC® is to mobilize the spine and joints. ●   People experiencing back pain can benefit from GYROTONIC®. ●   There is a joy to expressing your body, whether you're a professional dancer or you just like to shake it out.  Your body likes to move, it was made to move. ●   When you move, you may not realize that you compensate one side for the other, so having a GYROTONIC® instructor to help focus on your movements can really help restore balance in your body.QUOTES: “One of the main principles of GYROTONIC® is to mobilize the spine, and also with that, to decompress the joints.” Jessica Chen“Pain, in some ways, is stuck energy, so we need to move the energy, but we can't move it if there's no space to move it. So we need to create space and then move the energy to move the pain out.” Jessica Chen“GYROTONIC® brings us back into symmetry, back into balance.” Jessica Chen“Our bodies settle into old patterns. We sort of have these established tendencies that I think we don't necessarily recognize for ourselves.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of Fries  Jenn's Free Menu PlanJenn's InstagramSalad with a Side of Fries InstagramA Salad With a Side of Fries WebsiteDNA Miracles: For 10% off and free shipping, text MIRACLES to 844-947-4846 GUEST RESOURCES:Jessica Chen WebsiteJessica Chen Project WebsiteJessica Chen InstagramJessica Chen Company InstagramJessica Chen FacebookJessica Chen TwitterBIO: Jessica Chen is choreographer, dancer, teacher, and Artistic Director of J CHEN PROJECT, a 501c3 contemporary dance company based in NYC.  She holds a B.A. in Global Studies from the University of California Santa Barbara and continued her dance training at The Ailey School.  GYROTONIC®:  Jessica is an authorized GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® instructor.   She is certified in all the specialized equipment including Leg Extension Unit, Archway, Jump & Stretch Board, and GYROTONER®.  She is also certified in Dancers' Application 1 and Dancer's Application 2.  She approaches the work from her movement background.  Jessica's highlights as a GYROTONIC® trainer include training Broadway dancers and actors and working with clients of all ages with a variety of levels and needs.

In 2017, Dr. Chen left to start her own practice where she offers herbal medicine, nutrition, acupuncture, cupping and facial rejuvenation among many other services. Dr. Chen's extensive work with fertility, obstetric and gynecology has enabled her to help many many patients suffering from postpartum symptoms and other fertility-related struggles. These interactions also inspired her to co-author the book, “Sitting Moon” with Dr. Daoshing Ni, which touches on important themes relating to how a new mother must be cared for in the first month after giving birth. Dr. Chen earned both her Masters and Doctoral degrees at Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Los Angeles, and her Bachelors in Psychology from Boston University. She also completed a post-graduate residency in the Chinese Orthopedics and Traumatology Department at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan.

This week on Sinica, Kaiser chats with Thomas Pepinsky and Jessica Chen Weiss, both professors of government at Cornell University, about their recent essay in Foreign Affairs, “The Clash of Systems? Washington Should Avoid Ideological Competition With Beijing.” In that essay, they argue that, despite all the talk of Chinese authoritarianism as an existential threat to American democracy, Beijing is mostly on the defensive, and does not seek to export its political system. This is not to say that American democracy is not under threat: It very much is — but not from China. Tom, a specialist on Southeast Asia, looks at the ASEAN countries and their relations with Beijing to show that ideological affinity is not a predictor of close ties to China. And Jessica offers an update to her influential 2018 essay on China's effort to “make the world safe for autocracy.”8:08: Defining ideology and ideological competition 19:57: Beijing's transactional conduct with nations in Southeast Asia and the geostrategic implications25:20: How the current rhetoric in the United States fuels Sinophobia and anti-Asian racism36:01: China as the disgruntled stakeholder A transcript of this episode is available on SupChina.com.Recommendations:Tom: The French television shows Lupin and The Bureau.

It has been 10 years since May 2, 2011, the night a top-secret SEAL raid took out notorious terrorist and 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden at his hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

In Revealed: The Hunt for Osama bin Laden, the 9/11 Museum and the History Channel team up to present never-before-seen interviews and previously classified material. Film co-producers Clifford Chanin and Jessica Chen join Left of Boom to explain why every American should know this story.

Speaker: Jessica Chen Weiss, Associate Professor of Government, Cornell University How does China’s domestic governance shape its foreign policy? What role do nationalism and ideology play in Beijing’s regional and global ambitions? The Chinese leadership has been at once a revisionist, defender, reformer, and free-rider in the international system—insisting rigidly on issues that are central to its domestic survival while showing flexibility on issues that are more peripheral. To illuminate this variation and prospects for conflict and cooperation, Weiss will discuss her new book project, which theorizes and illustrates the domestic-international linkages in Beijing’s approach to issues ranging from sovereignty and homeland disputes to climate change and COVID-19.

Do you want to learn how to master your executive presence and learn from someone who has triumphed at every moment of their career? Today's guest is Emmy-Award winning Jessica Chen, who is a trusted communications advisor to several elite tech leaders in Silicon Valley and in Asia, and she had no shortage of blockers throughout her career. She is the Founder and CEO of Soulcast Media, a business communications agency, where she provides high-touch strategies to elevate people's speaking and authority. After nearly ten years in television news, Jessica is on a mission to help professionals, entrepreneurs and executives build their confidence in speaking authentically, and to teach the use of storytelling to create connection and engagement on various media platforms.

This week on 5.6.7.EIGHT, Aleksandra interviews Jessica Chen, Artistic Director of the J CHEN PROJECT, a 501c3 nonprofit modern dance company based out of New York City that uses movement as a vehicle to heal wounds, share stories, and better understand our human existence. Chen is a seasoned dancer with a wide variety of dance and choreography credits. She has choreographed works for some of the biggest stages, including the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the International Human Rights Arts Festival. Jessica’s story is an incredible one, and her journey to where she is today has not been an easy road. In the not-so-distant past, Chen was involved in a near-fatal car crash, resulting in eight straight hours of brain surgery and thirteen days in a medically induced coma. However, Jessica fought back to the stage, and her time without use of her limbs forced her to reevaluate her life’s calling and priorities. On the podcast, Jessica retells this incredible story and discusses how she now uses lessons learned from this traumatic event to help others overcome hardships through the arts.   Moving Quotes: “We’re all experiencing this now. Taking a pause can be scary, but it also has so many insights when you just take the time to just breathe and think and meditate in a way that doesn’t have any expectations. You’re just being still." “Learning without the expectation of it becoming something is important because you’re using your creativity and your analytical skillsets." “I want to be creative in how we see dance and how we structure artistic community. And I think it’s the time to do that — the time to go outside your box, to do something different, and not be afraid to fail." “The journey of my choreography and dance and movement life is to communicate to the world. To be in the world and to process all of the craziness that I personally experience or that I see in the world. And to put it into art so that we can digest it and process it before we can talk about it." “Dance has always been my way to communicate in the world — my way to be in the world."   Bullet Points (w/ timestamps) - Highlighting key topics discussed: 3:38: Jessica discusses the J CHEN PROJECT, including the company’s purpose and some recent expansion. 5:42: Jessica explores the different “legs” of her company pre-pandemic. 11:24: Chen walks through her creative process when designing pieces for extremely diverse audiences. 14:37: Chen, who was involved in a near-fatal car crash, walks through her incredible story of rehabilitation and having to rediscover her life purpose while lying in a hospital bed. 23:00: Jessica explains the different means by which she discovered her life’s purpose and how learning is critical to success in any role or position. 26:19: Chen shares some wisdom on setting lofty goals then mapping out how to attain them. 28:59: Jessica looks into what’s next for her in each of her life’s callings, including having to pivot to adjust to the COVID-19 “new normal.”   Bullet List of Resources –  Jessica Chen LinkedIn   J CHEN PROJECT Company Website Facebook Instagram YouTube Twitter

Jessica Chen Weiss is Associate Professor of Government at Cornell University and a prolific writer on Chinese nationalism and China's international relations. Kaiser sat down with her recently to hear her ideas on how we should understand what it is that Beijing ultimately wants, on how to right-size the challenges that China poses to the liberal world order, and about the CCP's relationship with its own nationalistic populace.What to listen for on this week’s Sinica Podcast:10:44: Has China played a role in the global retreat from democracy? Jessica provides some insight: “I think there’s a greater risk of exaggerating China’s role and not recognizing the domestic factors, and other international factors that are leading to democratic backsliding around the world. China has done some things, first, to demonstrate that autocracy can work, sort of leading by example. It’s also made cheap financing available to governments that wouldn’t otherwise have access to it. It has exported some technologies that governments can use to surveil their populations. But I don’t think that it has by and large been the main force driving democratic backsliding and erosion.”27:56: Jessica describes the tightrope Beijing must walk when navigating an increasingly hawkish Chinese public, referencing an article she wrote in May of this year: “I think surveys can help establish the baseline public opinion the Chinese government faces as it tries to navigate international disputes...the government has a lot of leeway to maneuver vis-à-vis public opinion. Rhetoric can obviously shape public opinion, and it’s important to document that. But, they still face costs for doing so. And the more hawkish the public is, the more the Chinese government has to dial back that appetite for conflict when trying to finesse a particular diplomatic situation in which maybe the online public is calling for war. There’s not a winning scenario there.” Recommendations:Jessica: Always Be My Maybe, with Ali Wong and Randall Park, and Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah. Kaiser: The award-winning TV series, Breaking Bad.
