“Thanks David. It was a great experience, two-and-a-half hours flew by for me (I hope for your listeners too!) And thank you for your preparation and thoughtful questions: of course I learned something about myself reflecting on them. All the very best for the new season of Coffee’s on Me, David Quan 权丁文 interviews!” – Matt Robb
---WHY? COFFEE'S ON ME, DAVID QUAN 权丁文
TL;DR: To process my emotions after a grueling campaign for President of The Cambridge Union, I reflected upon the influences of my late Grandfather and wrote him a letter: www.coffeesonmedavidquan.com. Drawing inspiration from him, I hope to learn more from others through genuine discussions – giving listeners heartfelt conversations filled with authentic insights, and giving guests legacy-worthy interviews to treasure. After completing over 100 interviews and reaching more than 20,000 listeners in Season 1, I now return with deep gratitude and renewed enthusiasm!
And the best part for guests? Coffee’s on Me, David Quan 权丁文---
