Kuan Yen Tan has a high tolerance for risk.Back in 2017, he was working as a senior research scientist at Microsoft and quantum computing was barely attracting VC attention. But, despite having a young, growing family, Kuan took a big leap of faith:He left Microsoft to be CTO and co-founder of IQM Quantum Computers.Fast forward to today:Global investment in quantum computing has grown to $55+ billion and its practical potential is much closer to being realized.And IQM has raised well over €200M, building a diverse team of nearly 300 people representing 48 nationalities company in its mission to use quantum computing to solve some of humanity's greatest challenges.Curious to hear more about some of the key decisions and lessons?In the latest episode of The High-EQ Founder podcast, Kuan and I talked about:→ how IQM rounded up a team of 15 experts before they even completed the fund-raise→ how they organized — and re-organized — management roles to optimize both technical expertise and people management skills→ the approach that didn't work in developing strategic partnerships and what they do now instead→ opportunities and lessons from COVID 19 and how it accelerated organizational learningFollow Kuan on Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/kuan-yen-tan/The High-EQ Founder Playbook by Renita Kalhorn is a reader-supported publication.

It's the last of our 'five guys of 23' as Men's Month draws to a close for another year and completing the stellar line up is the incredible comedian Kuan-Wen Huang, who for the first time in DWSC history brought along a side kick, who also happened to be a victim in his crime story, his bear Nounours!Kuan- Wen tells us about the time a would be kidnapper tried to abduct Nounours, but got more than he reckoned for and will probably never again decide he can pick on someone by appearances alone.The team then pick apart the life and times of someone the word 'eccentric' was probably invented for, proving the point that some people just have too much money, and will do anything to get their hands on even more. We finally hear from a listener who can't stress enough how much they spend on vanilla, or that they suspect a ghost of being a thief in their household.Thanks to all our wonderful Men's Month guests of 2023, it's lovely to give them all their big breaks … until next year!!The Drunk Women are returning to their London residency at 21Soho in 2024!

In this episode we speak to Ken on how he turned a side hustle into a full blown business, why he enjoys studying other entrepreneurs' journeys and the possibility of running his own watch club. 

On this episode we continue our short series of conversations with documentary filmmakers whose films will be featured at the New Hampshire Film Festival, which takes places in Portsmouth NH from 10/12-15.   Both of films discussed on this episode explore life for women in worlds usually dominated by men. First up is my chat with Olivia Kuan, the director of a documentary called "The Herricanes," which tells the story of the Houston Herricanes, one of the teams that, in the 1970s, made up the first-ever women's full tackle football league known as the National Women's Football League. And it just so happens that Olivia's mother played safety on the Herricanes for four seasons!    Later in the episode, I speak with director Maggie Contreras, whose documentary, "Maestra," follows five internationally-based women as they prepare for and perform in La Maestra, the only competition in the world for female orchestra conductors.   Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum.

During our conversation, we gain valuable insights into Intel's journey of successfully implementing a contract management tool. We emphasize the importance of clean and organized data as the foundation for effective contract management. We delve into the significance of data-driven decision-making and involving attorneys in the process. The team from Intel highlights the importance of metadata and prioritizing active contracts. They also give us insights into some of the challenges they faced during implementation and the importance of data cleanliness and integrity. We also touch on scoping the project, engaging internal teams, and involving end users in the design process. Finally, we discuss the flexibility and challenges of the chosen CLM solution by the Intel team, as well as the future phases and the potential of AI in contract management.WHAT WE DISCUSS:[00:14] - Intel's journey of implementing a contract management tool[03:16] - Establishing a solid foundation for contract management through data-driven approach[07:13] - Analyzing and prioritizing data during the foundation stage[08:49] - Data integration and prioritization of contracts in a system implementation.[10:41] - Importing legacy documents and mistakes in implementation[12:07] - Building the contract repository and data cleaning[16:41] -Scooping process and the importance of prioritizing features and functionalities based on business value and user population [24:14] -The role of a dedicated project manager and their experience with legal technologies during CLM implementation[26:07] How processes were established and whether diagrams were created during the foundation stage[27:49] Handling change requests during CLM implementation[32:43] - Importance of conservative resource planning and transparent communication in business operations[34:45] - Prioritizing and future phases in consulting, including authoring and AI for contracts[35:36] - Excitement about the future phase of AI in contract management.[37:20] - Integration with company's data domainsNOTABLE QUOTES:[00:01:44]  - “Having a firm foundation of understanding what our data is and making a data centric mindset approach towards how we solve our challenges when it comes to contracts is of utmost importance.” - Donovan[00:04:00] - “Data is going to be king in terms of understanding how we can then make a business decision. At the end of the day, the data should produce the ability to make a decision in regard to where you are taking your business and the approach you're going to take with it.” - Donovan [00:15:51] - “You need to maintain the data and make sure your data continues to be clean, through the years. And so that's why when you are doing this repository design implementation, take into consideration the business rules. Ideally, you should have those also implemented into the system validation.” - Kuan[00:19:22] - “Our first implementation failed largely because we didn't partner with our IT organization like we did with our second implementation. And so, that was the chief reason why we failed. We, as a legal department and legal operations department, felt we could do it on our own without bringing in a big intel IT organization.” - GeraldUSEFUL RESOURCES & LINKS:Intel WebsiteKuan Yu Liu on LinkedInDonovan Bell on LinkedInGerald Wright on LinkedInThe Contract Heroes Podcaston Apple Podcastson SpotifyThe Contract Heroes Official WebsiteMarc Doucette on LinkedInPepe Toriello on LinkedInPepe Toriello on Twitter

Kuan-wen Huang's Fringe show for 2023 is ‘Ilha Formosa', (which means ‘beautiful island' in Portuguese, a nod towards the sailors who landed on the islands in the 16th century). In it, he talks about how he traded his beloved Taiwan for the rainy British Isles, what it means to be Taiwanese and what it symbolises through generations of migration and shifting identities. The show does have some autobiographical elements, how could it not given its subject, but it does offer that time-honoured use of comedy to take a sideways look at both politics and the human condition through a medium that makes it easy to talk about complicated issues.

One of the fastest rising stars selling out venues across European cities, Sri Lankan born Vidura spent his childhood, his teenage years and his young adulthood in small chunks of time in different countries, Vidura is a globe-trotter. To him, Berlin sometime feels more like home than Colombo. In the final episode of the first season of this podcast, Vidura is our perfect guest to illustrate how conventional definitions of "homeland", "mother tongue" no longer make senses to the globally mobile young population. An accent that cannot be easily located. Having lived in the United States and reading mostly in English, at times Vidura feels like English is more like his most fluent language, similar to lots of young immigrants who move to big cities for a brighter future, better career and a fun life, Unsurprisingly, these are also the bulk of Vidura's dedicated audience. A thinker and a prolific reader, Vidura sheds light on his cultural commentary approach to comedy and why he only write jokes that he has emotional attachments to or from ideas he has been mulling over in his head. ---------------------------------Follow Vidura on Instagram and his websiteFollow your host Kuan-wen on Instagram and Twitter---------------------------------If you like the episode, please share it and leave a review.

Hi all! Thanks so much for your support in the last year. Season One of Comedy with an Accent Podcast is coming to an end at episode 31 - there's one more episode to be released this month. The podcast will go on! It's just that it will take a summer break in August and return in autumn. Your host Kuan-wen explains why the summer break is needed. Please don't unfollow because we will be back very soon (also, you have one more episode to look forward to!)

Alan is somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and Thom has been dissecting fish left right and centre at Te Papa. What better time to talk about deep-sea digging? After the exciting news last month about the geological cruise that drilled through the Moho (the area where the Earth's crust meets the mantle), we thought it would be interesting to talk with Andrew McCaig, the co-chief scientist for that expedition. Andrew talks us through the expedition's goals, achievements and the drilling process itself. Why were geologists interested in reaching this area and what exactly is serpentinisation? We also hear from two other crew members onboard the JOIDES Resolution during the 399 expedition, Igneous petrologist, Kuan Yu Lin and marine technician Luan Heywood. Kuan and Luan talk us through their experiences of working onboard the research vessel and why expedition 399 was so special.  We also hear from previous guest and great friend of the show, Ashley Rowden (his interview on seamounts can be found in episode 30). We grabbed him quickly before he chaired the deep sea session at the New Zealand Marine Science Society conference and he treated us to a great story of James Cameron's involvement in a previous conference that Ashley was organising. We're really trying to make this project self-sustaining so we have started looking for ways to support the podcast.

When your host messaged Dan about the interview at the start of this year, he replied that he was still on the move after leaving Russia. He could not be sure where he will have a legal paper to stay.It's a weirder-than-ever time to be a Russian comedian, especially one who dared to joke about Putin's height in his comedy special. Dan followed his instinct to become a 'travelling comedian'. Travelling or exiling, depending on how you see it.In deciding to leave Moscow, Dan ditched a successful career as a stand up comedian back home. Even though it was still possible to continue to perform in his mother tongue for the overseas Russians, Dan decided to convert himself to an English stand up performer. He did have to start over again but in his own words, it is a chance to re-invent himself from Денис Чужой (Denis Chuzhoy) to Dan The Stranger.Dan talks about this extraordinary journey and his comedy choices - why he'd shy away from hack Russian stereotypes and how Mike Birbiglia inspired him with comedy story-telling.---------------------------------Follow Dan on InstagramHis stand up special (in Russian) released in September 2021 that was mentioned in this episodeFollow your host Kuan-wen on Instagram and Twitter---------------------------------If you like the episode, please share it and leave a review.

Schalk Bezuidenhout was tour support for Trevor Noah and won South African Comics' Choice Awards' Newcomer and Break Through Act of the Year. This episode was recorded in May when the South African star brought his show to Soho Theatre in London for a 5-day run, filling the room with South African expats and local Brits alike.Schalk explains the stereotypes attached to Afrikaans and talks about how Afrikaans speakers are often on the receiving end of jokes in South Africa, how the Afrikaans accent can be made fun of, Nevertheless, comedy serves as the unifying factor for the multi-racial post-Apartheid South Africa by creating a shared experienceWhen gigging abroad, the white South African label used to lead the audience to automatically assume the comic has got to be racist, so much so that a disclaimer is required. Schalk explains how things are changing and why he would always identify himself as an Afrikaans South African rather than just a South African.*Apologies from your host in this episode as he mispronounced Afrikaans by omitting the "S" at the end on a few occasions.---------------------------------Follow Schalk on Instagram and his websiteSchalk will be in Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival this August!

Having only started performing comedy in the UK in 2021, Joshua was crowned winner of So You Think You Are Funny in 2022 and bagged another win at London Comedy Store gong show. He was finalist at BBC New Comedy Award 2022 and nominated as Best Newcomer by Chortle. The Southern India's native came to the UK for a corporate job and he only took up a comedy course to get better at communication doing his corporate job, These achievements and credits were unintended. Equally unintended is his understated, still and measured stage delivery. Joshua claims he is just trying to remember his lines! This episode inevitably covers a few big topics as our chilled and composed guest is incredibly intelligent and eloquent. Joshua explains the opening line about his accent he dislikes and how he has had to go the extra mile to convince others that some Indian boys really are called Joshua.---------------------------------Follow Joshua on Instagram and YoutubeJoshua's work=in=progress show at Top Secret Comedy Club in London on 17 July 2023 - ticketsFollow your host Kuan-wen on Instagram and Twitter---------------------------------00:38 Intro02:43 Why is Joshua named Joshua?

Our very first Portuguese guest is comedian Jomi Cruz who radiates tons of youthful energy and resembles a junior Eurovision contestant. Jomi shares how he acquired a quasi American accent that is not good enough to fool Americans but just enough to trick some Brits. Jomi chats about the few stereotypes associated with Portugal for British audience but the one bad joke about Madeline McCann* that is sure to put punters off but 1 out of every 5 new open mic comics tempts to do.Sounding not typically Portuguese but more certainly camp, the fashion-forward and even androgynous-dressing Jomi explains how he learned to embrace his accent, his campiness through therapy. The episode was recorded back in January but the overlap of its release date with the renewed reservoir search for Maddie REALLY IS CONINCIDENTAL. ---------------------------------Follow Jomi on Instagram and his London comedy night - Comedy FreaksFollow your host Kuan-wen on Instagram and Twitter---------------------------------If you like the episode, please share it and leave a review.

Evaldas could have stayed in his native Lithuania and earned much more from doing comedy. After all, he started performing at a critical time in Lithuania when anyone who decided to perform was almost automatically a professional comedian.Instead, the hopeless romantic fan of stand up comedy came to the UK and started again from bottom of the barrel - doing open mic gigs all over the place to work his way up. All these because he saw a visiting pro and concluded he had to leave to get good. Your host Kuan-wen reunited with his victor - they both participated in a new act competition in Manchester in 2019. Your host came second; this episode's guest was the rightful winner. Evaldas talks about how he worked on his English to soften the accent and how he gets annoyed when the audience make notes of his accent rather than focusing on his jokes. He talks about the "East European" label as seen by audience in the UK, as most Brits know very little about his home country. You will also hear Evaldas' nuanced view on comedy sketches on social media, including his own ones, and the use of social media for comedians in general. Apart from comedy, the discussion also includes his take on the legacy of Russian/Soviet occupation in Lithuania---------------------------------Follow Evaldas on Instagram and Youtube Evaldas also produced a very interesting documentary on his experience of participating in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival as a new-ish comedian.

Described by some as the "mother hen" of Singapore's burgeoning stand up comedy scene, Sam has just performed his solo show "Government Approved Sex" to critical acclaim at this year's Melbourne Comedy Festival.This episode was recorded at the start of 2023 when Sam returned to the UK after a mini-tour in continental Europe (preceded by a full Edinburgh fringe run last summer).Sam shares why his mother tongue Mandarin isn't his most proficient language - something that is not uncommon for Singaporeans. He explains how Singapore's language policy means he no longer speaks the languages of his grandparents, which his parents use to openly hide secrets from him.Sam also provides his insightful take on the differences between audiences in Singapore, continental Europe and the UK.Due to your host's friendship with Sam, there have been a lot of banters and swear words so apologies for the numerous beeps this episode!---------------------------------Follow Sam on Instagram, Twitter and his websiteFollow your host Kuan-wen on Instagram and Twitter---------------------------------If you like the episode, please share it and leave a review.

Actor and comedian Anne Klein is the first Oscar nominee (In the short film The Red Suitcase) and the first Luxembourgish guest on this podcast. Fluent in English, French, German and her native Luxembourgish, Anne has this amazing ability to switch between languages and disguises her accent(s) to fool inattentive listeners.Anne talked about being the oddball that is too weird for her small country and her coming of age after she left Luxembourg. The pandemic ironically forced her to move back home for a year or two, but this time round, she managed to find her arty people in the small country of 646,000 people and changed her pre-existing view on her own hometown.Anne also talked about how Luxembourgish lacks a richer vocabulary because of the people's fluency in languages of their neighbouring countries.Trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, Anne shared how she started her comedy journey and offered her view on actors and comedians not just "picking one lane."---------------------------------Follow Anne on Instagram, Twitter and her website.Follow your host Kuan-wen on Instagram and Twitter---------------------------------If you like the episode, please share it and leave a review.

This week, your host Kuan-wen would like to introduce the burgeoning comedy scenes in his native Taiwan - both in English and in Mandarin - as an example of how Asia is catching the stand up comedy fever (and catching up!). Since he has not lived in Taiwan for over a decade, the introduction is recorded through the eyes of an Englishman who has spent the last few years first in Shanghai and then in Taipei.Outside comedy, Adam is a journalist who moved to Asia for work and perhaps for a bit of change of scenery. Then Covid happened and the lucky Adam enjoyed a relatively free year of 2020 in Taiwan. He was heavily involved in the English-speaking "expat scenes" in Taiwan, witnessing the growth of the parallel local scene and even started performing in Mandarin himself.There are long queues for people who want to sign up to perform. Someone's first open mic gig may be in front of an audience of 180. But, occasionally, you perform to audience who are actually not that fluent in English and are introduced as, "here comes a white dude who performs stand up comedy."---------------------------------Follow Adam on Instagram and TwitterFollow your host Kuan-wen on Instagram and Twitter----------------------------------If you like the episode, please share it and leave a review.

Our mini Scandinavia tour comes back to Norway again after two recent episodes feauturing guests from Denmark and Sweden. Viggo Venn, previously half of clowning duo Zack & Viggo, is our second guest from Norway.Viggo trained as a clown at the renowned École Philippe Gaulier, where he is now a member of the teaching staff. His clowning instinct - a desire to entertain and a persistence to embrace failures ("flops") - meant this recording has been the most chaotic and disruptive to date. But it was fun!Viggo explains why he exaggerates the "foreign idiot" persona on stage and consequently exaggerates his accent. We also peek into Viggo's journey as a performer - how he ended up training as a clown after coming across Dr. Brown's show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.Viggo was not only interviewed but performed throughout this recording. The whole episode is interwoven with two running gags, namely Viggo insisting he and your host Kuan-wen are related due to the pronunciation of their names and that Viggo is not happy another Norwegian comedian (Thor Stenhaug in episode 2) was invited first.---------------------------------Follow Viggo on Instagram and check out his website for shows and clown workshopsFollow your host Kuan-wen on Instagram and Twitter----------------------------------If you like the episode, please share it and leave a review.

Evelyn Mok is well known for being the former co-host of the (now retired) Rice to Meet You Podcast and the creative mind behind multiple popular sketches. The Swedish native is also one of the highest-profile comedian of East Asian heritage in the UK, who now spends her time between both countries.Evelyn talked about how the feeling of being "other'ed in Sweden in her childhood prompted her to mimic a near perfect American accent as an escape. She also shared the cadence employed earlier in her comedy career - partially a remnant of getting out of a stage character and partially her understanding at that time of how funny should sound like.This episode also includes Evelyn's reflection on her relationship between stand up (more specifically doing stand up in the UK) and depression and why it can be a complex mix. She has prioritised taking care of her own mental health and is now a in better place again to pursue her love for stand up.---------------------------------Follow Evelyn on InstagramFollow your host Kuan-wen on Instagram and Twitter----------------------------------If you like the episode, please share it and leave a review.For any comments or suggestions, please contact us on Instagram or email comedywithanaccent@gmail.com----------------------------------Episode timeline00:48 Intro (& some chitchat)05:19 Where did Evelyn's get her near perfect American accent from and why was young Evelyn determined to mimic the American accent?08:45 Why ethnic minority immigrants are more likely to try stand up comedy09:55 Can Evelyn's American accent fool native speakers?11:05 When Evelyn's Swedish sound slips13:00 Different Nordic sounds and stereotypes (inc. some Eurovision chat)16:54 Evelyn might not have to explain her accent but needs to address her background - because of her ethinicty - if she wants to mention Sweden21:25 Evelyn's old “cadence” - the way Evelyn used to speak on stage - and the character she used to employ24:58 How “Funny” sounded to Evelyn30:21 Depression; how it affected Evelyn's stand up33:12 From a character to a stage persona to finally be her true self37:44 Evelyn can only manage this American accent41:07 Is Evelyn more fluent in English than in her native Cantonese?41:52 Re-discovering her Swedishness and Asianness -45:15 Looking back on a therapy like—episode47:27 Evelyn's social media---------------------------------Podcast intro music by @Taigenkawabe

In this episode, I talk to Dr. Laura Kuan....a chiropractor by trade....but that doesn't begin to tell her whole story.  This interview is a good snapshot of what I want this podcast to be.  We talk about how she initially had the want to be in the medical field and how she found her path to chiropractic.  Laura also had to change gears when the pandemic hit, and we talk extensively about what she started to do on Instagram, which has blossomed into roads she never thought about taking.  Interestingly enough, one of the reasons I really wanted to talk to Laura also dealt with her Instagram....but for a travelogue that she did...in Taiwan.....in quarantine.  We get into that and what she's doing now...and of course she has questions for me at the end.  Laura gets me to talk about my thoughts and feelings of the podcast....and where it could be headed.  For whatever reason you need, listen to the podcast and you're bound to find something you'll like.  Laura is a great guest doing her first podcast, and I know after checking out her information and pages....you will be impressed.  The Mic is Ahn.  Tell your friends....and your enemies.
