About this episode
We talk all things culture and how culture spreads from place to place. We talk about how burning man culture is changing the culture of Singapore. We also talk about the differences and similarities between the culture of Silicon Valley (where I grew up) and Singapore. There are also some tidbits in here for anyone who wants to thrive in the stressful era we might be entering. Follow Visa here:
Episode transcript
Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. Today I interviewed Visa Vidasamy. This was a really great interview. Taught me a lot about myself and a lot about Singapore. And it's so interesting, the connection between Singapore and the rest of the world. Such a big city for trading. And it's really a cultural experiment as well. And so it was really great to go into the interesting connections between Singapore culture, world culture, technology culture, Twitter culture, all of this different stuff, even Burning man culture.

Thank you. So welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. My guest here is Visa Virasami. He is in Singapore and he's a marketing consultant. But that's not who he really is. He just does that to pay the bills. In his personal life, he's also an essayist, and he's working on a personal project for writing called 1000 word vomit, where he writes a million words at a thousand words each. So I'm really excited to have you on. Welcome to the show.
