  • Summary

  • In this episode, we meet Gary Liu, the young Chinese American who packs up and leaves New York for a new life in Asia.  He takes over Hong Kong’s 114-year-old newspaper not only to transform it from an analog operation into a digital tech-based phenom but to shift it from a locally based paper into a global source of information garnered from locations around the world. Can he inspire the employees of this traditionally based organization to take on the challenges of the fast-paced tech-savvy operation he envisions? What will he need to do to light that fire?
