I'm recording today from my hotel room in Macau, China. Well, the intro and outtro were from today, but the bulk of today's podcast is borrowed from the Macau podcast I did on location on THIS DAY last year. I love being in this city, and the opportunities that it brings. Enjoy today's podcast, thank God for the legacy of Pastor Lucky, pray for the needs presented (and give if you can), and spend time learning the old Gospel history of these regions by checking out The Memoirs of William Milne (Milne.my)! Follow and/or message me on Twitter/X (@chinaadventures) where I post (among other things) daily reminders to pray for China.You can also email me @ bfwesten at gmail dot com. Last but not least, to learn more about our ministry endeavors or get one of my missionary biographies, visit PrayGiveGo.us! Why did I begin the Prison Pulpit series? The goal is to remind everyone to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us to do (“Remember those in prison, as bound with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.”). I’ve done this by sharing imprisoned Pastor Wang Yi’s writings in China, but since we have none of his writings from WITHIN prison walls, I’ve turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice, or reminders, or sermons, from prison. The Prison Pulpit. Both New and Old Content Today will be a little different as I’m going to share some of what I said exactly one year ago today from right here in Macau. After this short introduction, you will hear me share three things from the podcast I recorded on this day last year: 1) An overview of Macau 2) The Legacy of Pastor Lucky 3) An inside look at the Memoirs of William Milne (which has connections to Macau). But first, let me remind you why October 1st is an important day in China. Next, let me tell you why Pastor Lucky would be proud, and how you can pray today… And lastly, before you hear much more about Macau, a couple of (regrettably) vague prayer requests for some dear friends of ours in China. . .

As we continue our Thailand25 series, many of you will remember Rey from Hong Kong and how God used him to see movement among Filipina maids. In this episode, Rey continues to share the journey of seeing movement in and from Hong Kong. In July 2022, Rey pioneered Discovery Obedience Bible Studies (DOBS) in Hong Kong parks with Pilipino maids. What began as one small step of faith has now grown into multiplying disciple-making communities (DMCs) in Hong Kong, Macau, the Philippines, and even Japan. Rey's obedience to the Holy Spirit has opened the door to multiplication down to third and fourth generations of disciples. His passion is clear: “We are not in the business of making believers but disciples.” You'll be encouraged as Rey explains how God is using simple obedience, a clear disciple-making vision, and a commitment to multiplication to bring transformation from Hong Kong to the nations. Highlights from Rey's Journey Early Exposure to Movements Since 2016, Rey was exposed to disciple-making movements through experiences in Israel, India, and Myanmar, which grew into a deep passion and became the focus of his Master's thesis in Hong Kong. From Pastor to Movement Pioneer His church in Hong Kong adopted DMM principles—but only as a growth strategy, not a true disciple-making movement. The spark eventually faded. 2022: Rey resigned from traditional church ministry, rejecting offers from large churches.  During quarantine, while fasting and praying, God's answer surprised him: not to join another church, but to start doing DMM himself. July 2, 2022: Rey launched the first DOBS group in a Hong Kong park. Multiplication Across Nations Hong Kong: Now 110 active disciples. 3 DMCs (up to 4th generation). 201 baptisms over the last three years—monthly beach baptisms with new believers. 20 women in training to become “DMM pastors,” preparing to return to the Philippines. Macau: 1 group, 8 active disciples, 3 disciple-makers. Philippines: Communities in the north, central, and the Muslim south (Mindanao). Over 100 active disciples in multiple generations. Japan (Yokosuka, near Tokyo): Filipina women reaching out to bar owners and families. Baptisms and new groups forming into a multiplying community. Disciple-Making Process Rey uses DOBS (Discovery Obedience Bible Studies): Discover, Obey, Bible, Share. He has developed different levels of scripture sets: Seekers – discovering Jesus. Disciples – going deeper. Leaders – training for multiplication. Vision & Tools Rey always gives the vision upfront: everyone is called to be a disciple-maker. He even draws people a simple path: Seeker → Believer → Disciple → Disciple-Maker → Leader. Anchors everything in key Scriptures: Matthew 28:18-20 (Great Commission), Matthew 22:36-39 (Great Commandment), Acts 1:8 (Need for Holy Spirit to be witnesses) and 2 Timothy 2:2 (Multiplication of disciples). DBS format follows the 4Ws: Worship Watch (share stresses) Word (Head, Heart, Hands) Work (commitments & sharing). Why Listen? Rey's story is one of courage, obedience, and multiplication. From humble beginnings in a park in Hong Kong to movements multiplying in the Philippines and Japan, Rey's testimony challenges us to rethink church, embrace disciple-making, and trust God's Spirit to lead.

Cerca de 200 portugueses vivem no estado norte-americano do Utah, onde foi criada uma associação portuguesa. Primeiro-ministo esteve com comunidade portuguesa em Macau. Edição Isabel Gaspar Dias

China wurde nie vollständig kolonialisiert, hatte jedoch lange den Status einer Semikolonie. Welche Spuren dieser Zeit sind heute noch sichtbar - und wie prägen sie Gesellschaft, Politik und Außenbeziehungen?   Host Joyce Lee und ARD-Korrespondent Benjamin Eyssel werfen in Qingdao einen Blick auf deutsche Einflüsse, die bis heute erkennbar sind. Mit Korrespondentin Eva Lamby-Schmitt geht es weiter nach Macau und Hongkong, wo das britische und portugiesische Erbe noch immer präsent ist.   Gemeinsam mit China-Expertin Prof. Mechthild Leutner beleuchtet Joyce Lee, wie der Kolonialismus Chinas Geschichte und Gegenwart formte - und welche Rolle er in der heutigen Innen- und Außenpolitik spielt.   "Welt.Macht.China" ist der China-Podcast der ARD. Aktuelle und ehemalige Korrespondent*innen und Expert*innen haben sich zusammengetan, um einen vielfältigen Einblick zu geben in das riesige Land. Es geht um Politik, Wirtschaft, Kultur, das Leben und den Alltag in der Volksrepublik, außerdem um Klischees und Chinas Rolle in der Welt. Eine neue Folge gibt es jeden zweiten Dienstag in der ARD Audiothek und in allen anderen Podcast-Apps: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/welt-macht-china/10494211/ Ihr habt Anmerkungen, Lob und Kritik? Schreibt uns an weltmachtchina@rbb-online.de.   Und hier noch ein Podcast-Tipp von uns: Kann Deutschland Putin für Kriegsverbrechen in der Ukraine anklagen? Die neue Staffel des Podcasts "Die Entscheidung" fragt sich genau das. Es geht um die Macht internationaler Strafverfolgung und um die Menschen, die gerade dabei sind, Beweise zu sammeln für russische Kriegsverbrechen in der Ukraine. Für den Tag X, an dem einer der mächtigsten Männer der Welt tatsächlich vor Gericht stehen könnte. Es geht also um Macht, Gerechtigkeit und die Frage: Wie weit reicht das Recht? Zu finden in der ARD Audiothek und überall wo es Podcasts gibt.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 135-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 24,235 on turnover of $8.1-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed moderately higher Wednesday as large-cap tech stocks stayed resilient, helping the broader market recoup earlier losses and shrug off overnight declines on Wall Street following a spike in U.S. Treasury yields. But analysts say the local index still stayed in consolidation, with turnover reduced as investors await more economic data for clues about how the U.S. Federal Reserve will implement a rate cut cycle. Visitors to Taiwan up 10% in 1st half of year The Tourism Administration says, total visitors to Taiwan in the first half of the year saw a 10% increase from the same period last year. Most visitors to Taiwan are Japanese people, with over 680,000 Japanese tourists coming to Taiwan in this period, accounting for (佔有、構成) over 16% of all visitors. Visitors from Hong Kong and Macau make up nearly 15%, while about 13% are from South Korea. Next up, about 9% are from the US, 7% from the Philippines, and 7% from China. In June, Taiwan received over 606,000 visitors, marking a 6% rise from in 2024. In particular Japanese visitors in june increased by 22%, while Chinese visitors increased by nearly 50%… many of whom came through the Mini Three Links connecting Kinmen and Matsu. The Administration says, it's holding overseas campaigns to boost visitors numbers in the fourth quarter of the year, which is usually the peak season for travelers to visit Taiwan. (AH) Portugal Street Car Derail Leaves Dead and Injured Portuguese emergency services say an electric streetcar that is one of Lisbon's big tourist attractions has derailed, killing 15 people and injuring 18 others. Emergency response officials said five of the injured are in serious condition and a child is among the injured. It said an unknown number of the injured are foreigners. The yellow-and-white streetcar, which goes up and down a steep downtown hill in tandem with (與……同時) one going the opposite way, was lying on its side on the narrow road after Wednesday's accident. Eyewitnesses said the streetcar careened down the hill, apparently out of control. The City Council suspended operations of other streetcars in Lisbon and ordered immediate inspections. US Over 1000 CDC Workers Demand RFK Jr Resignation More than 1,000 current and former employees of the US Department of Health and Human Services are demanding the resignation (辭職) of Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In a letter they claim RFK Jr's leadership has "put the health of all Americans at risk,". Kate fisher reports from Washington Argentina LongLost Painting Recovered An Argentine federal court has announced the recovery of the long-lost “Portrait of a Lady,” an 18th-century painting by Giuseppe Ghislandi. The Nazis looted the artwork during World War II. The painting, not seen publicly for 80 years, surfaced in an online real estate listing last month. Dutch journalists discovered it while investigating Friedrich Kadgien, the Nazi officer accused of stealing it. Authorities have detained Kadgien's daughter and her husband on charges of concealment (隱瞞) and obstruction of justice. The painting is now stored in a special chamber to prevent damage.

For more than a decade, now, the world has been experiencing a process of “democratic backsliding,” while alternatives to governing by popular consent have gained popularity—even in the West. James Fishkin offers a path to improving not just the health of democracy, but the effectiveness of liberal democratic governments. Fishkin holds the Janet M. Peck Chair in International Communication at Stanford University where he is Professor of Communication, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Deliberative Democracy Lab. He is best known for developing Deliberative Polling®, a practice of public consultation that employs random samples of the citizenry to explore how opinions would change if they were more informed. His work on deliberative democracy has stimulated more than 100 Deliberative Polls in 28 countries around the world. It has been used to help governments and policy makers make important decisions in Texas, China, Mongolia, Japan, Macau, South Korea, Bulgaria, Brazil, Uganda and other countries around the world. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a Guggenheim Fellow, a Fellow of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, and a Visiting Fellow Commoner at Trinity College, Cambridge.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the latest in our series on belief, we’re examining the emergence of incels in the world’s largest manosphere. China’s growing incel community is fuelled by state-approved nationalism and simple demographics—by one estimate, 30 million Chinese men won’t find a life partner. To find out why so many Chinese men believe that women are the source of their problems, Louisa and Graeme are joined by Yihuan Zhang, a graduate researcher at the University of Macau, Ling Tang, a cultural studies lecturer at the University of Melbourne, and Qian Huang from the Centre for Media and Journalism Studies at the University of Groningen.

Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: Pigeons and Poker: A Night of Luck and Reckoning in Macau Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/zh/episode/2025-08-15-22-34-02-zh Story Transcript:Zh: 澳门的夏夜，赌场里灯火辉煌，人声鼎沸。En: On a summer night in Macau, the casino was brilliantly lit, filled with the sounds of voices rising and falling.Zh: 人们聚集在桌旁，期待着一场命运的对决。En: People gathered around the tables, eagerly anticipating a showdown of fate.Zh: 魏玲座位对面是陈荣，面前是一堆崭新的筹码。En: Opposite Wei Ling was Chen Rong, with a pile of brand-new chips in front of him.Zh: 平静的神态下，陈荣心无旁骛，只专注于手中的牌。En: Despite his calm demeanor, Chen Rong was completely focused, concentrating solely on the cards in his hands.Zh: 而筹码旁边，调皮的笑脸是小梅，她是这桌游戏的发牌员。En: Next to the chips, with a playful smile, was Xiao Mei, the dealer of this game.Zh: 总是带着一丝玩笑的神情。En: She always wore a slightly teasing expression.Zh: 饿鬼节的气氛在空气中弥漫，似乎也给这场牌局增添了一份奇妙的色彩。En: The atmosphere of the Hungry Ghost Festival was pervasive in the air, seemingly adding a touch of wonder to the game.Zh: 却在这时，一只白色的鸽子无声滑过天花板，落在了桌角。En: But just then, a white pigeon silently glided over the ceiling, landing on the table's edge.Zh: 它四处张望，然后开始不紧不慢地啄起了散落的筹码。En: It looked around and then leisurely started to peck at the scattered chips.Zh: 魏玲顿时皱起了眉头，心中暗暗叫苦。En: Wei Ling immediately furrowed his brows, secretly lamenting.Zh: 他是个出名有点迷信的高手，深信任何干扰都会打破他的好运。En: He was a well-known superstitious expert, convinced that any disturbance would break his streak of good luck.Zh: 鸽子的到来似乎预示着什么。En: The arrival of the pigeon seemed to be an omen of sorts.Zh: 魏玲看着它一步步靠近自己，对着已经在它视线中的筹码，用力叹了口气。En: Wei Ling watched as it approached him step by step, targeting the chips already in its sight, and sighed heavily.Zh: 周围的人都在看他，期待他如何处理这突如其来的插曲。En: Everyone around was watching him, waiting to see how he would handle this sudden interruption.Zh: 此时，小梅笑着挤了挤眼睛，没有要驱赶鸽子的意思。En: At this moment, Xiao Mei winked with a smile, showing no intention to chase the pigeon away.Zh: 她像是很享受这场免费的演出。En: She seemed to enjoy this free show.Zh: 魏玲深吸一口气，心想，或许这是一个试炼，是考验他是否如外界所传的那样依赖于运气。En: Wei Ling took a deep breath, thinking perhaps this was a trial, a test to see whether he truly relied on luck as much as people said.Zh: 就在鸽子步步紧逼，准备纵身一跃至魏玲的筹码堆时，他做出了一个勇敢的决定：“无论如何，我要赢这局。”En: Just as the pigeon was about to leap towards Wei Ling's pile of chips, he made a bold decision: "No matter what, I will win this round."Zh: 威士忌的决心让他镇定下来，他闭上眼睛，深呼吸，再睁开时目光坚定。En: The determination steadied him, and he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and reopened them with a firm gaze.Zh: 鸽子一脚踏上了筹码塔，而魏玲，瞟了眼手中的牌，微笑着打出最后一张。En: The pigeon set foot on the stack of chips, and Wei Ling, after glancing at the cards in his hand, smiled and played the last one.Zh: 他赢了这局，赢得了满堂喝彩，也赢来了内心的一份信心。En: He won the round, earning a roomful of applause and a newfound sense of confidence.Zh: 他意识到，胜利更多靠的不是运气，而是自己的智慧与决心。En: He realized that victory depended more on his own intelligence and determination than on luck.Zh: 正当他享受胜利时，保安终于把定睛在赌桌上的鸽子赶走。En: As he was enjoying his victory, security finally chased away the pigeon fixated on the gaming table.Zh: 魏玲微笑着看着离开的鸽子，仿佛是一位与自己共度奇妙夜晚的老朋友。En: Wei Ling smiled as he watched the departing pigeon, as if it were an old friend who shared a wonderful night with him.Zh: 从那以后，魏玲不再过于强调牌桌上的那些习惯和迷信，他学会相信自己。En: From that point on, Wei Ling no longer placed undue emphasis on superstitions and habits at the gaming table, learning to trust himself.Zh: 灯光熠熠的赌场，依旧是那个熙攘的澳门，但对于他而言，却多了一份轻松和自信。En: The casino, still bustling and lively in Macau, became a place where he felt more relaxed and self-assured.Zh: 他知道，无论鸽子是否再来，自己都能面对。En: He knew that regardless of whether the pigeon returned, he could face it all.

If we had the power to design our own political system, what would it look like? Stanford Professor James Fishkin talks with Steve about deliberative democracy, a method that brings together diverse, representative groups to weigh policy trade-offs in a fact-based, civil environment. He maintains that when people get the chance to discuss issues in depth, they often move away from extremes, suggesting that polarization isn't as unbreakable as pundits claim. James presents some examples, like how deliberative polling in Texas led to a massive shift toward wind energy. Steve acknowledges his skepticism and asks whether James believes this could translate into real power, like shaping a federal job guarantee or breaking the corporate stranglehold on policy. James argues that while deliberative democracy isn't a magic fix, it's a tool to cut through misinformation and empower ordinary people, offering a glimpse of what democracy could be. (When we wrest control from the hands of the ruling class.) James S. Fishkin holds the Janet M. Peck Chair in International Communication at Stanford University where he is Professor of Communication, Professor of Political Science (by courtesy) and Director of the Deliberative Democracy Lab.He is the author of Democracy When the People Are Thinking (Oxford 2018), When the People Speak (Oxford 2009), Deliberation Day (Yale 2004 with Bruce Ackerman) and Democracy and Deliberation (Yale 1991).He is best known for developing Deliberative Polling® – a practice of public consultation that employs random samples of the citizenry to explore how opinions would change if they were more informed. His work on deliberative democracy has stimulated more than 100 Deliberative Polls in 28 countries around the world. It has been used to help governments and policy makers make important decisions in Texas, China, Mongolia, Japan, Macau, South Korea, Bulgaria, Brazil, Uganda and other countries around the world.

In this episode of the Know Your Why Podcast, Dr. Jason Balara interviews Kin Sio, a first-generation immigrant, entrepreneur, and business owner who transitioned from a thriving tech career to real estate investing—and ultimately to business acquisitions. Kin opens up about his journey from Macau to the U.S., the pivotal experiences of caring for his ailing parents, and how those challenges sparked a desire for greater freedom and control over his time. After initial success in real estate, Kin realized that business ownership offered more leverage and scalability. He shares how he acquired a Hawaii-based marketing agency while living in Seattle, detailing the complexities of sourcing, financing, and remotely operating a business. From cultural adaptation to team leadership, Kin reflects on the highs and lows of entrepreneurship and the motivation that keeps him pushing forward: time freedom, personal growth, and family legacy.Key Highlights:- Kin's immigrant journey from Macau shaped his entrepreneurial drive and resilience.- Real estate investing was his first step toward financial independence, but business acquisition offered more scale and impact.- Caring for his parents inspired a deeper need for time freedom and autonomy.- The business acquisition process demands urgency, relationship-building, and a higher level of operational responsibility than real estate.- Operating a Hawaii-based business remotely from Seattle required strategic planning, cultural adaptation, and strong leadership.- SBA loans and seller financing played a key role in making the acquisition financially feasible.- Kin underscores that entrepreneurship is a personal journey, not for everyone, but deeply rewarding for those who embrace its challenges.This episode of the Know Your Why Podcast is a powerful reflection on the personal and professional transformation that can come from taking bold risks. Dr. Jason Balara and Kin Sio explore the realities behind the glamorous facade of entrepreneurship, offering listeners valuable insight into the worlds of business acquisition and remote management. Kin's story is a testament to the power of purpose-driven decision-making, and his journey is a motivating example for anyone seeking financial independence through business ownership.Get in touch with Kin:IG: https://www.instagram.com/kinmsio/FB: https://www.facebook.com/xavisioLI:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/kinsio/If you want to know more about Dr. Jason Balara and the Know your Why Podcast:⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/jasonbalara⁠⁠  Audio Track:Back To The Wood by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.⁠⁠ https://creativecommons.org/licenses/⁠⁠Artist:⁠⁠ http://audionautix.com/

Unser Podcast-Tipp: https://1.ard.de/Legion_HouseOfScam?cp=yk Wir alle kennen Online-Scams. Doch "Love Scams" und "Romance Scams" haben sich zu einer globalen Bedrohung entwickelt. Heute sprechen wir von "Pig Butchering Scams". In Südostasien existieren ganze Scam-Fabriken, groß wie Städte. Hunderttausende Scammer arbeiten dort für ein einziges Ziel: Um Menschen weltweit zu betrügen. Online. Mit gefälschten Krypto-Investments, Liebesschwindel und Catfishing. In der neuen Staffel von "Legion" tauchen wir ein in diese neue, gigantische Scam-Industrie. Eine Industrie, durch die auch Menschen in Deutschland jedes Jahr Millionen verlieren. Unsere Recherche führt uns um die halbe Welt: nach Thailand, an die Grenze zu Myanmar, auf die Philippinen, nach Hongkong und Macau, in die Schweiz und nach London. Wir sprechen mit Tätern, Opfern, Ermittlern und Geheimdiensten. Am Ende wird klar: Es geht um viel mehr als Online-Betrug. Es geht um organisiertes Verbrechen. Um Menschenhandel und Sklaverei. Und um ein weltweites, illegales Netzwerk, das bis nach Europa reicht. "Legion: House of Scam" ist eine Ko-Produktion von rbb, NDR und Undone 2025.

Macau–onetime Portuguese colony, now casino hotspot–has long captured the imaginations of travelers, reporters, artists and writers. The city served as the only gateway to China for centuries; then, after the rise of Hong Kong, its slightly seedier vibe made it a popular setting for books, articles and movies exploring the more criminal elements of society. Paul French joins us, once again, to talk about his new book Destination Macao (Blacksmith Books: 2024) the latest book in his Destination series. We chat about colonies and casinos, but also some of the lesser-known parts of Macau's history, like an aborted British attempt to invade Macau in 1808; furious media rumors in 1935 about Japan's interest in buying the colony, and the city's brief time as an aviation hub for the Pan Am Clipper. Paul French was born in London and lived and worked in Shanghai for many years. His book Midnight in Peking was a New York Times Bestseller and a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. He received the Mystery Writers' of America Edgar award for Best Fact Crime and a Crime Writers' Association (UK) Dagger award for non-fiction.

Wall Street consolidated overnight as investors weighed the potential impact of the so-called 'big beautiful bill' on the U.S. deficit. Economic data added pressure, pushing interest rate expectations higher. Big tech stocks came under pressure, with Nvidia down 3%, as investors rotated into small caps. Meanwhile, Tesla shares slumped as markets braced for a sharp decline in upcoming sales figures, while Macau’s gambling revenue surged 19% year-on-year. Despite recent gains, the U.S. dollar remains near a three-year low, reflecting ongoing uncertainty around fiscal policy. Back home, Aussie shares are poised to open with modest gains on Wednesday.

Macau is often overlooked due to its larger neighbor, Hong Kong, but Macau, despite being similar, has had its own unique history. What began as a fishing village evolved into a major trading port, and in the 21st century, it has become one of the most popular entertainment centers in Asia. It remains unlike any other place in Asia, and indeed, the entire world. Learn more about Macau and its history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

He is broadly interested in human behavior and culture, and currently has three lines of research: magic, divination, and epistemic norms in small-scale societies; reporting biases in the transmission of instrumental practices; and theoretical modeling of the transmission of culture.  In this episode, we first talk about magic, divination and dream interpretation across human societies. We also discuss chance-based explanations. We talk about transmission biases in cultural evolution.

Chad Benyon and Zach Warring review gaming company earnings. Chad likes high-end companies in the space, and notes that many in the lodging industry said April was a busy month. Zach points to weakness in China and Macau and says he's “pretty neutral” on the industry. However, he has a Buy rating on DraftKings (DKNG). Chad compares DKNG's potential report to Flutter's (FLUT) report yesterday.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In the summer of 1985, Sean Penn's marriage to preeminent material girl Madonna was an epochal moment for ‘80s-era Hollywood. The bad boy from Bad Boys and the boy-toy pop superstar blissfully brought together the worlds of movies and music on a Malibu bluff overlooking the Pacific. But their subsequent attempt to make a movie together was anything but blissful. A wild film shoot in China would lead to even wilder things, like the time Sean dangled a photographer upside-down from a ninth-story balcony. Or the time he escaped a prison in Macau and had to have a pardon from the government negotiated by a former member of the Beatles. Or the time he spent in an American prison, where he found himself passing notes with a fellow inmate down the hall…one who happened to be one of the most notorious serial killers in history.
