In this exciting volley with Barbara Wei, we talk everything from meeting the US Basketball Team at the Paris Olympics to minority voices in sports to overcoming imposter syndrome as she moved up in her career owning marketing and media for the USA Table Tennis Team. Barbara and I chat over Taipei Cafe’s Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (and other delicious dishes).
