Fei Wu is an entrepreneur, podcaster, and the founder of Feisworld LLC. She created Feisworld to help small businesses and individuals tell better stories, find new customers, and create new revenue streams. Fei shared her story and how listeners can begin creating products and launching them into the marketplace, whether those products are podcasts, blogs, vlogs, or something else.
The conversation begins with Fei Wu and Adam discussing Fei's early days as a creator (02:13 - 03:57), including her choice to create several schools for her friends (03:58 - 05:48). Fei then shares how she dealt with the unknown when moving from China to Maine as a 17-year-old (05:49 - 11:55) and how she knew that she wanted to become an entrepreneur (11:56 - 13:43). She then moves on to discuss her experience in corporate America, including her decision to flex her entrepreneurial muscles (13:44 - 17:42) and how listeners in corporate America can do the same (17:43 - 21:13). From there, Fei discusses the Feisworld podcast and Feisworld LLC, particularly its origins (21:14 - 24:42) and its mission (24:43 - 27:44).
The interview then transitions into a general discussion of creating a product, including the importance of iteration (27:45 - 32:28) and whether you should pay more attention to the market or your own creative vision (32:29 - 34:34). From there, Fei and Adam discuss podcasting; specifically, how podcasters can make a living without counting the downloads (34:35 - 39:48) and how podcasters can get their shows listed in China (39:49 - 42:08). The interview concludes with Fei discussing the most serendipitous thing that has occurred after creating Feisworld (42:09 - 43:40), one thing that listeners can immediately do to implement Fei's insights from the interview (43:41 - 46:15) and two of her favorite books for entrepreneurs (46:16 - 47:25).
