"The Chinese Communist Party, when they opened up [the Chinese market], they came up with this very smart plan,” says Hollywood veteran Chris Fenton. “If you want to sell fish in the Chinese market, you have to teach them how to fish. If you teach them how to fish, you're going to sell your fish there. But eventually, they're going to learn how to fish, and then they're going to catch their own fish. And then the government's only going to want the fish they catch to be sold to their people. And that's essentially where we are,” "Cut to today, some of our biggest competitors…not just in the PRC, but in the global market, are now Chinese competitors,” Fenton says. In this episode, he breaks down how the Chinese regime outsmarted Hollywood and American business. 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S0713ChrisFenton

"There has to be the right amount of buy-in from people, because the people who you want to train - they have to be able to take ownership of the experience because ultimately, at some point, our partnership is going to end, and they're going to have to carry that mantle forward.” Chloé Valdary is the founder of Theory of Enchantment, an alternative model to DEI training. 👉PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0716ChloeValdary

"Diversity is necessary, in short, if you want to create magic, or resiliency, or trust, or any of the other conditions that are necessary for human flourishing."

"I have a friend who's a doctor, who says that it used to be, when the doctors walked down the hallway, the administrators would run and hide out of fear, right? And now, it's the other way around. And it's because the doctors are being yelled at for not filing the form right or not coding something right. They're not accountants. That's not why they got into this. They got into this to hold the hand of the patient and help the person heal or prevent illness. And we've taken that power away from them. So, I like to remind doctors: they're the only one with any moral authority. They take the Hippocratic Oath, and that really means something. And we, as patients, are absolutely dependent on them because the pharmaceutical companies are beholden to their investors. They have a fiduciary responsibility to deliver returns - so do hospital systems, even academia.” - Emily Kaplan 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S0710EmilyKaplan

"You could argue the next James Bond movie should have a Chinese villain…Why do we keep going back to these Cold War day villains that probably don't even exist anymore? Let's make it more realistic. But a studio won't tread there." Even though Hollywood blockbusters aren’t making much money in China anymore, studios still fear angering the Chinese communist regime, says Hollywood veteran and producer Chris Fenton. 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0713ChrisFenton
