I am glad to have an interview with Mr. Monty Simus today, a day before July 4th, 2020, a holiday for American people celebrating independence and freedom. Although we see lots of problems happening in this county nowadays, however, conversation with Monty will lead our sights go beyond today's issue into future. Let's do not forget the heritage of this county - American dream, which despite race, gender and social status, is to pursue dream and happiness for individual, family and society.  Enjoy your listening! I am your host Sophia. 

These are a few lessons and concepts you need to know in the 21st Century.

This is my first interview. It starts from a woman executive. Her name is Sherry Parvaneh, an immigrant originally from Iran. She works in a field/industry where very few woman can make a career path, information system and data management. Currently she is the Chief Information Officer in Honest Company, a very popular Organic Baby Care products company setup by celebrity Jessica Alba. How does she make breakthroughs in her career? What are the principles she holds in life and work? There are so much we can learn from her. Thank you for your listening. I'm your host Sophia ZHOU.
