Shannon has known Janet Yang since the late 80s! She was the inspired force behind the idea to make a Bruce Lee biopic at Universal that ultimately became Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. She went on from there to become an award winning producer at the highest levels. Maybe you’ve heard of Empire of the Sun, The Joy Luck Club or The People vs Larry Flint? If you have, then you’ve been touched by Janet. Aside from being a producer Janet is also the current president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. She saw a need for greater AANHPI representation and she stepped up to serve. Also a founding member of Gold House, Janet is one to heed a call to action. She is a powerhouse in a kind package – the best kind of powerhouse in my opinion! Shannon is pleased to call her a friend and colleague and overjoyed to introduce you all to her!

This week's guest on the Bruce Lee Podcast is Kieran Bew. Kieran and Shannon had been trying to connect to record a podcast episode for some time. He is a beloved member of the cast of WARRIOR and that’s because he is just a lovely human being. He is introspective, has an adventurous spirit and is an artist at heart. And he is a championship fencer!! Which is where his affinity with Bruce Lee started but definitely did not end! Listen in as we discuss acting, artistry, fencing, dragon riding, personal process and a whole lot more on this week’s episode. Shannon is so glad they finally made this happen and we are all the richer for it!

This week's guest for this end of year season on the Bruce Lee Podcast is none other than the legendary big wave surfer, innovator and entrepreneur – Laird Hamilton. Laird Hamilton is best known as an American big-wave surfer and pioneer in the world of action water sports. A renowned innovator and guiding genius of crossover board sports including tow-in-surfing, stand-up paddle boarding and hydrofoil boarding, Laird is the essential Water Man, continuously pushing the limits and expanding all possibilities. Which is why Shannon wanted to talk to him. Laird epitomizes the ideals of growth, curiosity, practice and creativity as a human being, and his relationship with water is intense and intimate. Dedicated to health, mastery and wellbeing, Laird shares his thoughts on his journey. He is a multilayered and complex thinker and experiencer and Shannon was thrilled to speak with him and to share their conversation with you. Please read his bio on brucelee.com/podcast for the bountiful ways he has expressed himself, used his talents, cultivated his gifts and supported others in this lifetime – it is impressive. (Reminds Shannon a lot of her father…) And please connect with Laird through his many outlets and projects as well. Enjoy the conversation!
