- Garron Chiu, now 37, was born in Los Angeles to Chinese parents and moved to Hong Kong as a kid.
- He studied at an international high school and went back to the US for college.
- Now back in Hong Kong, his work in advertising and stand-up overlap: both demand insight into people and culture.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Garron Chiu...
