POPULARITY
On January 25th we held the second in-person event during the Talking Taiwan Election Tour at the PicCollage office in Taipei thanks to John Fan, who was a guest on episode 179 of Taking Taiwan. Many of our past guests, friends and supporters were in attendance at the event, and what made the event extra special for us of course was the chance to meet some of our past guests in-person for the very first time. In this episode you'll hear me speaking with our previous podcast guests and a few people from the audience also came up and spoke with me at our impromptu on-stage podcasting booth. Previous guests featured in this episode include: Eric Chang (episodes 121, 127 and 231), Jane W. Wang (episode 150), Karen Chung, (episodes 217 and 219), Elias Ek (episode 59), Brian Foden (episodes 184 and 185), Richard Wang (episode 77), Jerome Keating (episodes 97, 98 and 186). This episode bookends the Talking Taiwan Election Tour episodes, but we do have some other interviews that we recorded while in Taiwan. Those will be released at a later date. We are extremely grateful to our supporters and donors who made the Talking Taiwan Election Tour possible.

In episode 46, we're sharing 5 fun and easy ideas for photo shoots that you can use for social media, promotions, programs, emails and more! White Wall - Outdoors - A white background always brightens up photos! We just did this with our graduating seniors to create some cohesive photos to use on social media, our year-end show programs and also to gift to them as a graduation gift! We found a closed grocery store with a simple, bright white brick wall! We spent about 10 minutes on each dancer, got a few action shots and a headshot. The pictures look awesome, and we were able to create a cohesive, fun page in our program and also a fun poster of our grads! You could do this in any situation you needed some promo photos for! Check out our pics! Seamless roll of photo paper: This simple option can be set up inside or outside in any space available to you. Order online or buy locally from a photography supply store. If you don't have tripods or the equipment to hang it in the middle of a room, you can simply tape it to a flat wall. You can shoot them plain or add in a few simple props. Take a photo anywhere that has good lighting and remove the background! Apps like Pic Collage and Canva make this so easy. We highly recommend the pro version and the team option! Both of these have a background remover where you can remove the background of any photo and put it on a plain background or a fun print background. Murals: This is a fun way to capture photos on a fun and colorful background requiring no effort other than finding the location. Almost every city now has painted murals and if you haven't seen them in person, you can likely find them by just googling “fun mural walls” in whatever city or town you live in. We recommend checking them out ahead of time to make sure the space is conducive to taking photos. Atlanta has quite a few mural walls and some of them are more recognizable than others. We have one that's been around for many years, and it's painted on the back side of a grocery store. It's a giant, fun disco ball with a John Travolta-ish disco dancing guy on it, and it's just so colorful. It's right up our alley! We took our cast of characters last year on a Sunday morning really early to be sure we didn't run into too many cars in the parking lot and it was a huge success. The key here is simple and quick because other than googling and taking a quick drive to check it out, you don't have to set anything up. You just show up and snap your fun photos!Confetti Pic! The final easy photo shoot idea is launch some confetti around a dancer or group of dancers! Use your smartphone or a camera and snap as many times as you can as you launch the confetti. Tell the dancers to smile and jump around, and it is SO easy to get a cute photo! This always brings out those authentic smiles too! This is also a great video moment too to use for a reel!! We hope this inspires you to snap some fun photos! Try to do a quick photo shoot soon and tag us or let us know how it goes! We will be watching for those on instagram!

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin: So much has happened since I interviewed John Fan, one of the co-founders of PicCollage back in December. PicCollage is an app that allows you to create fun things with your photos and videos. It is one of the most popular apps in the photo and video app category in the app store. We actually spoke the day after Talking Taiwan won a Golden Crane Podcast Award. It was a fascinating conversation not only about PicCollage, but about what it was like for John being in Taiwan when it was one of the few places in the world relatively unaffected by COVID at the beginning of the pandemic, and how it attracted COVID refugees that included some of Taiwan's most talented influential diaspora. John also talked about how the startup scene in Taiwan has changed in the ten years that he's lived there. Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode: How PicCollage is an app that allows you to create fun things with your photos and videos How PicCollage as a company that creates a variety of apps related to greetings, video editing, and wellness The WOWSHI app inspired by Japanese washi tapes designed to mimic the tactile experience of applying washi tape, which can be a form of relaxation The idea for the WOWSHI app came out of the realization that during the pandemic people were looking for ways to de-stress How PicCollage was started 10 years ago and was initially designed primarily for the iPad 10 years ago apps like Uber, Instagram and Snapchat were still relatively new How PicCollage was started in Silicon Valley but has much of its operations in Taiwan John's experience as a Taiwanese American having moved to Taiwan and lived there for 10 years The challenges of running a business in multiple time zones The advantages of running a business in Taiwan The freedom and creativity in Taiwan The popularity of bubble tea and cat cafes of Taiwan How Taiwan is connected to and influenced by China, Japan and the U.S. Taiwan's kawaii i.e. cute aesthetic which has been influenced by Japan Kawaii culture in the in the campaign for Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential candidate Chen Shui-bian How Bitmoji was created in 2007 PicCollage's Silicon Valley values and Taiwanese employees How PicCollage has offered its team members U.S. $3,500 to spend on learning about or getting training on something of their own choice How PicCollage's values are a mix from Silicon Valley and Taiwan: Always Be Learning. Be Proactive and Overcommunicate. Win As A Team. How PicCollage has changed and evolved over time John's work experience prior to PicCollage What it has been like starting and running PicCollage How PicCollage values user feedback and has invited users to come in for user interviews on Fridays What they have learned from user feedback e.g. the ability to save/back up the collages on their phone in the cloud Artist collaborations with PicCollage have included collaborations with individual artists, Sanrio, and tokidoki What it's been like being in Taiwan when it was relatively unaffected by COVID at the beginning of the pandemic, and attracted COVID refugees How Taiwan was one of the first countries to be aware of the threat of COVID early on in the pandemic and was prepared due to its prior experience with SARS How Taiwan was able to maintain zero COVID cases up until April/May 2021 and attracted COVID refugees, like the founders of Rotten Tomatoes, Twitch and YouTube The use of Gather and Kumospace as Taiwan has gone into partial lockdown and adopted working remotely How has the startup culture in Taiwan changed in the 10 years that John has been in Taiwan How software startups exist in the shadows of Taiwan's two major industries: the semiconductor industry and ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) industry or contract manufacturing industries How Taiwan can play a role in the software industry How people in Taiwan vs Japan and Korea, are more willing to take a risk and work for smaller companies instead of large companies and conglomerates How the startup Gogoro has been able to get a lot of funding How Appier went public in Japan There's been greater investor interest in Taiwan startups than in the past 500 Startups has set up a branch in Taiwan How there are more VCs (venture capital) in Taiwan now How there are more VCs investing in software How Taiwan can excel in creativity and design Pinkoi. “the Etsy of Asia” that was started in Taiwan GagaOOLala, an LGBTQ+, “Netflix for Asia” that was started in Taiwan How Taiwan needs people with senior level experience with product marketing, and engineering management, and this void could be filled by Taiwan's diaspora or those interested in working with Taiwanese companies How PicCollage is hiring Related Links:

Get clear with your goals and aspirations that you want to bring into your life. Examples: relationships, income, travel, a house, a car, education, children. Literally anything that is important to you right now. Find visual inspiration that aligns with your goals and aspirations. It can be quotes, words, pictures...anything! Pinterest is a great place to start especially if you want a digital vision board (that is the preferred way for us so we can bring it with us everywhere). You can also find inspiration from magazines, stickers, books, postcards...etc. Map out your board! This is the fun part! Put together all your inspirations all in one place! You can have as much or as little as you want. If you are going the digital route there are plenty of apps you can use to put it all together. Pic Collage and Canva are great tools to use! (On Canva, use a "grid" template to just drag and drop your pics into) Display your vision board! Put your vision board in someplace that you will see often. If you have a physical vision board hang it up somewhere you can see every day. If you go the digital route make it the wallpaper on your phone, watch and computer so that it can be seen every day, multiple times a day. Be sure and share your vision boards and tag us so we can check them out and help you manifest your dream life!
