This is part 2 of our conversation with struggling artist turned dice-making millionaire, Karen Wang. If you missed part 1, go back an episode and listen to that first. In part 2, Karen shares her experience launching her first Kickstarter—which ultimately lead to $2 million in sales. You’ll hear about how she got into dice-making, what she learned, and all the interesting mistakes along the way. You might think raking in millions of dollars in sales is great. But what happens when you have to then follow through? How do you deal with such massive demand? And what other pitfalls do you have to look forward to? Instant success comes with a responsibility. And Karen is no stranger to that fact. Listen to how she’s navigated the world of manufacturing and all the big challenges that come with it. Learn more about your ad choices.

When you hear that someone is an “overnight success”, rarely did it happen overnight. But our guest in this episode is kind of the exception. Kind of. Karen Wang is the founder of Dispel Dice. A luxury dice-making business that was Kickstarted into existence. Over the course of her 30 day campaign, she raised over $2 million. All for her stunning, beautiful, and bespoke dice. And that first $1 million, happened on day one. If your jaw isn’t on the floor, then please re-read that last paragraph. Because that kind of support for a debut Kickstarter campaign is unheard of. But the path leading up to that fateful launch was no walk in the park. The same morning Karen pulled in her first million from Kickstarter, was the same morning her bank called to say that she had overdrawn her account. In this two part episode Karen walks us through the windy, bump-ridden road she took to build the incredible business she runs today. In part 1, we get to know the person behind the dice. How she went from feeling unfulfilled, unhappy, and dropping out of art school to finding her calling through a friendly game of Dungeons & Dragons. Learn more about your ad choices.

Life in lockdown doesn’t have to be dreary, I have started planning some activities so that we have some things to look forward to in our house. It has seriously changed how I feel about everything so be sure to listen to the full episode to hear what I have planned. We have also been learning about Chinese New Year in homeschooling, well, when I say ‘we’, I mean ‘Mike’. It is quite interesting so we decided to talk to an expert to find out more;  we chatted to Karen Wang from the Confucius Institute and it was all quite enlightening.

Happy New Year! We're ringing in the new year with a sequel! Not to one of our own episodes, but actually to an episode of Guilt Free Features, the podcast of this month's guests Janet Kim and Karen Wang. Back in August 2020 we chatted with Karen and Janet about Face/Off and Con Air and all the Cagey Cageness of the one and only Nicolas Cage and the "Summer of Cage." This month, we're talking about Neil LaBute's less than stellar remake of The Wicker Man and Jon Turtletaub's ode to the puzzling genius of the Founding Fathers, National Treasure. What connects these two movies beyond being Nicolas Cage mid 2000s paychecks? Cults and Secret Societies! (Is there a difference? You tell us!) One is about a cult of women on an island in the Pacific Northwest. The other centers on secret societies like the Free Masons and has a certain culty devotion to the legends of the Found Fathers of the United States. Karen Wang is an award-winning writer, director, and producer of films. She has served regularly on the juries and curation teams of a number of screenwriting competitions and film incubator programs over the past fifteen years, while her own narrative work has been featured at festivals throughout the United States and Europe.

"A true map cannot simply mark out the landmarks, and the most popular tourist sites, it must be able to guide readers through the city's lesser-known corners, its dimly-lit nooks and rarely-frequented crannies" In the thirty second episode of The Translated Chinese Fiction Podcast, we are looking at The Book of Shanghai, a short story collection from Comma Press.

Maisie Breit from the NYC Mayor's Office to End Domestic and Gender-Based Violence meets with Karen and Presidential Scholar Karen Wang to discuss gaslighting: how to understand the signs, and the resources available in New York City that can help those affected.

Dr. Karen Wang from the Collaborative for Health and The Environment and Because Health, and Amy King from GoodWork US, join Healthy Living Healthy Planet to speak about healthy homes, workspaces and the built environment. As we shelter in place and spend even more time indoors Dr. Wang explains that the average person spends nearly 90% of their time indoors on a regular basis. In our current state, it’s nearly 100% for many. Not only do we spend our time indoors, we bring our comforts inside as well, from furniture, to toys and electronics. Our buildings, furnishings and entertainment materials impact our built environment and contribute to serious pollution and toxic leaching. From flame retardant furniture to lead paint, the list goes on. Dr. Wang shares her personal experience making her home healthy and the journey of researching to truly find out what is in our products and building materials. While we may not all be able to build our homes from scratch, we can make better choices in our products, choose better pots and pans, glass and stainless steal food storage, and body safe cleaning products (beware of fragranced cleaning products). Amy King speaks about healthy workplaces. Co-working spaces are shared work places for entrepreneurs. GoodWork is a green building co-working space, rehabilitated from a vacant 1950’s two floor warehouse. Recycling buildings is not often done, especially in Texas, but Amy and her business partner saw the potential and revitalized their co-working building with WELL and LEED building. GoodWork’s rehabilitation has helped to inspire the rest of the built environment in the neighborhood to come back to life. Amy explains “sick building syndrome” and her experience working in a sick building - marked by old mechanical systems, old air filters, toxic carpets and un-opening windows, resulting in the well-known 3 PM headache. But there is hope, businesses and their employees can make change, by advocating for their health, and pursuing local green building rating systems to access their workspaces and make change. Building’s are one of the top three offenders in climate change, our built environment, natural environment and human health are all connected. To improve the health of one, we must improve the health of all. Visit https://www.becausehealth.org to tap into great cleaning products and tips to make your produce last while sheltering in place.

In this episode we hear from Karen Wang herself. We also talk to Caroline Andrew to get additional perspective.————————————

Caroline Gleich is a ski mountaineer who knows the meaning of scary but rewarding: whether she's climbing 8,000 meter mountains in the Himalayas or anticipating her future as an adventure-seeking wife and mom. Years of hard work have brought her here and while she's a self described late bloomer, Caroline's learned to trust the timing in her life. Looking back on 2018, Caroline shared on her Instagram that she summited 72 peaks and climbed 489,704 human powered vertical feet of uphill. Included in these peaks and vertical feet was the 6th highest mountain in the world, Cho Oyu. We talked with Caroline about that climb and the family she sees in her future. Even though she’s ski mountaineered some of the tallest mountains in the world, her thoughts on fear, self-trust, and creating the life she wants for herself hit close to home. Plus, we catch up with Karen Wang two years after we interviewed her for Episode 9, After the Pacific Crest Trail.

Canada's in a bad way with China. Has the media prepared us to deal with the growing superpower? With tensions rising, it may be more important than ever for Canadians to understand China. The Star Vancouver's deputy bureau chief Joanna Chiu takes us through various forces standing in the way -- a lack of understanding of Chinese media among English Canada, the misogynistic culture of the foreign press in Asia, and government control over Chinese social media, even in Canada.   Plus, she talks about her team's recent scoop that Karen Wang, the Liberal candidate for the Burnaby South byelection, attacked Jagmeet Singh for being of "Indian descent" on WeChat. Wang resigned after that story.   Joanna's study for PEN, Forbidden Feeds: Government Controls On Social Media In China.   Joanna's piece for Foreign Policy, "Sexpat Journalists Are Ruining Asia Coverage" Support CANADALAND: http://canadalandshow.com/join See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"If you just say 'vote for me because I'm Chinese-Canadian', it didn't work. It hasn't worked, and it won't work." Former NDP MP Olivia Chow is a seasoned politician who has strong connections to the Chinese-Canadian community. She reflects on ex-Liberal candidate Karen Wang's race-based comments against NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, and the role of race in Canadian politics.

When Karen Wang came under the spotlight for racially-tinged comments on a Chinese-language social messaging app, she stepped down from the Liberal Party of Canada within hours. But after she'd slept on the decision, she decided she wanted back in the race with an explanation as to why bringing up her opponent's ethnicity was a non-issue. Wang's latest press conference ended with her mother sobbing in front of journalists as the Wang family was removed from city of Burnaby property. BTS with CTV Vancouver host  Penny Daflos chats with reporter Shannon Paterson about the political intrigue many believe was at play, the monumental gaffe that started the whole thing, and the human drama that played out in front of TV news cameras for the entire country to see in a rare, high-stakes by-election drawing national attention. Watch Shannon's latest story here.

Identity politics is alive and well. Karen Wang was the liberal representitive for the Burnaby South by-election up until she was ousted for her comments online. In a riding with a large Chinese population, Wang made it clear that she was the only Chinese representitive, going against the "diversity is strength" liberal tagline that got Trudeau elected in the first place. 

Chapter 1

Former Liberal candidate in Burnaby South, Karen Wang, told the Lynda Steele Show yesterday that her controversial WeChat post had been 'misinterpreted' and ‘mistranslated' by the media in its reporting. The Simi Sara Show decided to fact check this. We asked the StarMetro Vancouver for more information on the translation they published, and referred Wang's WeChat post to our own Global News translators. Our podcast reveals what we found out.

Karen Wang is out as the Liberal candidate in the Burnaby South byelection following comments on WeChat but she’s still mulling a comeback. Trudeau also used the past week to mix up his cabinet. And Brexit continues to be a mess. In our quick takes we tackle the speculation tax, new forestry approaches and the...

Chapter 1

Karen Wang is not getting a second chance from the Federal Liberal Party. It has swiftly rejected her call to be reinstated as the party candidate in the upcoming Burnaby South byelection. Wang dropped out of the race yesterday after making online comments that singled out the ethnicity of NDP Leader, Jagmeet Singh. She's now asking for a second chance - but her plea has been rejected by the federal Liberals. And she may end up running as an independent. Any moment now she's expected to hold a press conference. Guest: David Moscrop Postdoc at the University of Ottawa's Department of Communication, Writer for Maclean's and columnist the Washington Post

Never a dull day in BC politics… Yesterday, Karen Wang announced she was stepping down as the Liberals candidate in the federal byelection in Burnaby South. That was after the StarMetro Vancouver reported that she had published a social media post, appealing for votes because she was Chinese, while pointing out that Jagmeet Singh is “of Indian descent”. This morning we've learned that Karen Wang wants a second chance - but the Liberal Party says it is rejecting her request. Guest: Keith Baldrey Global BC Legislative Bureau Chief

The Burnaby-South by-election is turning out to be a trainwreck of a campaign for the Liberals.  We get the latest on the Karen Wang saga from Global's Richard Zussman.

Chapter 1

The Liberal candidate running against NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh in the Burnaby South byelection has bowed out of the race. Karen Wang says she made comments online that referenced Singh's cultural background and her choice of words wasn't well-considered and didn't reflect her intent. StarMetro Vancouver reported this morning that Wang wrote on Chinese social media platform WeChat that she was the "only'' Chinese candidate in the riding, rather than Singh, who she identified as "of Indian descent.'' She says she "sincerely'' apologizes to Singh and has deep respect for him as the leader of his party and for his public service.   Onus on homeowners to opt-out of speculation tax Starting later this week, homeowners in Metro Vancouver, Greater Victoria, and other communities targeted by the speculation tax will be getting notices in the mail with “clear instructions” on how to apply for an exemption. Yes, that's right: the onus is on YOU to let the province know you're not a real estate speculator. Guest: Richard Zussman Global News Online Legislative Reporter

Today's episode is a unique one, recorded on site at Lillian H. Smith public library in Toronto where a book club called A Room of Your Own has gathered to talk with bestselling young adult fiction author Jennifer Niven, who is in town from Los Angeles. This book club, founded by Tanya Marie Lee, is just for teen girls from under-privileged communities. At each event members get in a room with the authors of the books they read, which are supplied ahead of the time by the authors and their publishers. Here they're talking about Niven's book All the Bright Places, which is being made into a film starring Elle Fanning. The book is the story of two Indiana teenagers who become companions after finding themselves at the same spot contemplating suicide. The book club is also joined by Dr. Karen Wang, a child and youth psychologist, who we talk to for some advice for parents on how to handle the difficult topics of teen suicide and mental illness. We also capture the stories of some of the students who share their own struggles in brave and inspiring ways. Show Notes Love our work? Please check out our Patreon Campaign!

Injury, community, and gratitude. We interview Karen Wang two weeks after she left the Pacific Crest Trail just shy of Crater Lake in Oregon. There's a lot out there about what it's like to hike a famous thru-hike, but what is it like when you get home? How do you deal if life throws you an injury? How do you assimilate to city life after months in the wilderness? Karen Wang is the first of three interviews that focus on life "After the PCT."
