Send us Fan MailHost: Kyle Leung (@kyle.lhkhk) https://linktr.ee/whatkindofasianareyoupod Guest: Maxwell Lee At various stages in life he has been a professional musician, the general manager of a non-profit performing arts organization, a college professor, a full-time real estate investor and a city planning consultant. He is now focusing on sharing all of these passions through content creation, with his various YouTube channels, blogs and podcasts. In this episode, I had a conversation with Maxwell Lee about his experience as a Malaysian Chinese American growing up in Florida and his journey from being a music major in university to becoming involved in the music industry, to then becoming a real estate investor and finally to being involved in music and content creation (his true passion) again after years of leaving it behind. We covered things like his Asian American identity, how he spent a lot of his life doing what made sense to his family and to society without really thinking about himself and how he went through all that but is now going back to what he loves doing most which is music and content creation. Last, we talked about his future plans with relocating to Asia with his wife and kids.
