Show Notes

Angela Cheung is the random experimenter, the professional simplifier Producing moments that we will always remember. She is the AntiFool.

In this episode, I want to talk about producing moments and that sounds a little bit strange, but let's elaborate on that. Moments are the experiences that you carry with you throughout life that are memorable. They have an impact on your worldview. and they are much more than just a memory. They define what you pursue. Who better to talk about this with than Angela Cheung.

Angela is a media executive coach and speaker, as well as managing director at APV, a film and creative agency combining strategy, creative and production to create content that inspires action. With clients ranging from the BBC to National Geographic, Disneyland, and more, she is a powerhouse when it comes to using video to capture moments and memorable experiences for us lovely viewers to watch.

With a broad-ranging career in the realm of broadcast media, 8 years as Regional Director of Production at Walt Disney television, Asia Pacific (DISNEY!) Part of that is producing tons of shows for the Asia Pacific audience for the Disney channel, including one that I grew up with!

We talked about:

  • Her origin story, the powerful moments in her childhood that led her to broadcast media
  • The relentless pursuit of getting a position in MTV
  • Breaking down the creative process and thinking behind producing a show at Disney
  • How fireworks are a reminder of her impact on millions of viewers
  • Embracing our creativity and put it at the helm of where we are going.
