Episode 24: Bing Chen (@bingchen) has a stacked resume. After serving as the Global Head of Creator Development at YouTube, where he spearheaded the now-famous Partner program, Bing founded the start-up Victorious, which was acquired by Headspace in 2018. He's served as an advisor for over 10 top companies, including Google, Snapchat, and Baobab Studios. In 2018, Bing founded Gold House, the largest collective of pioneering Asians across the cultural industries, and continues to lead the non-profit in supporting and connecting the Asian diaspora. And he's still moving - the AUM Group is Bing's newest project, a multicultural film fund that invests in the next generation of storytellers.But every activity he engages in is intentional, and every step in his career leads him closer to his life's purpose. Listen in on this week's episode of the Why You No Doctor podcast, where we converse with Bing about how he developed Gold House's and AUM Group's missions, figured out the meaning of life at the tender age of 16, and determined his qualitative goals in life and used them to mold his career.Show Notes:
