Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. My guest here is Ben Reinhart. He is an EIR at Entrepreneur first in Singapore and the host of the Idea Machine podcast. Really excited to have you on and talk about the global rise in technology production, not only focused in Silicon Valley, but all around the world. And that's why you moved to Singapore, as you were just talking about. So really excited to talk about that. Welcome to the show.

Thank you. It's good to be here.

So why Singapore?

Well, so part of it is serendipity that I had in my head that I wanted to be test out this hypothesis that Asia is the correct place to build new things, especially new systems. So things that help people build things. So that was one of those things that was vaguely in the back of my head and I was sort of exploring what I was going to do next. And I was talking to this guy, he said, oh, have you heard of Entrepreneur First? And I had not. So that later that evening I looked it up, thought, oh, this is interesting, and just saw that they had a job opening in Singapore. So I applied, one thing led to the next, and then I was moving across the world a few weeks later.
