Firelight Chats Ep021 | If We Can Take the Heat w/Jonathan Gropper

In this episode of Firelight Chats, Jonathan Gropper hummered his way to the Spacelab to have a spicy chat with Kane & Mocha by the fireside. With his most recent article published by Commonwealth Magazine serving as the hot plate, they cooked up some frank & juicy food for thought about Taiwan, the Gold Card program, dating and honeymoon phases, culture & mindset, international aspirations, PR & marketing, government officials & ministries, big business, real estate, and whatever else looked appetizing on the menu du jour.

For dessert, Kane & Jon bantered about what it might take to set up a meeting with President Tsai Ing-Wen. With a bit of time remaining at the end of the episode, they also dipped their spoons into the blockchain soup, discussing a particular project of interest called Ubiquity DAO. 

Jonathan Gropper is a serial entrepreneur, Taiwan Gold Card holder, and graduate of Rutgers University, where he earned a doctorate in law. Born in Israel, Jon lived in New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Miami, and has spent the last six years living in Asia, including three in Taiwan.
