Economist by Day, Rapper by Night: Andrew Dougherty (a.k.a. Big Daddy Dough)

Andrew Dougherty first learned Russian and some Spanish and French before pursuing Chinese. Sensing the opportunity China held, Andrew pursued Chinese language studies in the early 2000’s. This opened opportunities that kept him in China for nearly two decades working in the financial sector, but also somehow unwittingly was the vehicle where he launched his side career rapping about China’s diverse political and social landscape. Join Jared as he talks with Andrew about his unique journey, humorous stories, and insightful perspectives.
