Yannie Chan- Iona WBB Player talks Hong Kong Basketball, D3 WBB, Relationship with Jamad Fiin + More

The first ever local Hong Kong woman basketball player to play in the NCAA, Yannie Chan, joins this week's episode of "Not Even D2". Yannie committed to Emmanuel College in February of 2021; a decision that will be remembered for Yannie and others in Hong Kong forever. Yannie was a GNAC all-conference player as a freshman. The next year she would be the 2022-23 GNAC Player of the Year. Just before her sophomore season, Yannie competed for Hong Kong's national team in the Asian Games. This would lead her to be a part of more Hong Kong history as the team won their first ever game competing in the Asian Games. Due to injury, Yannie did not compete in the 2023-24 season for Emmanuel. After the year being sidelined, she would enter the transfer portal where Division 1 schools became interested in the Hong Kong native. Chan committed to play for Iona this summer, and will compete for the Gaels during the 2024-25 season. Hear about her journey coming to America while inspiring the next generation of Hong Kong hoopers, playing for legendary coach Andy Yosinoff and playing with Jamad Fiin at Emmanuel College, and how the transition at Iona has been so far.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
