Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bonus Episode: Eva Chow, Founder of KHEE Soju and Co-Chair of the LACMA Art + Film Gala
Q: Do you see a downside or risk in luxury's deeper involvement in arts and culture?
There's concern that art and art markets become overly commerce-driven, which could dilute artistic integrity, though collaboration can still promote greater exposure and appreciation for art and culture if balanced well.
Bonus Episode: Eva Chow, Founder of KHEE Soju and Co-Chair of the LACMA Art + Film Gala
Q: What do luxury brands like Gucci add to a museum gala beyond money?
Gucci brings long-term commitment, cultural sponsorship, and credibility to the gala, with a history of supporting film restoration and education, which enhances the event's cultural mission and visibility.
Bonus Episode: Eva Chow, Founder of KHEE Soju and Co-Chair of the LACMA Art + Film Gala
Q: Where do you personally feel Korea's presence the most in the US, and how do you see it evolving?
Korean culture has a broad, expanding footprint across fashion, beauty, film, and food, with a distinct, sophisticated aesthetic. It's evolving from a wave into a sustained influence as Koreans share deeper cultural contexts beyond surface trends.
Bonus Episode: Eva Chow, Founder of KHEE Soju and Co-Chair of the LACMA Art + Film Gala
Q: What was your approach to launching the first Art and Film Gala, and was the intention from the beginning to make the gala a cultural engine wrapped in a fundraiser?
The idea was to create a vibrant, entertaining experience that would attract people from different industries, not just to raise money, but to foster direct, enjoyable connections and long-term engagement with film and culture.
S18 E02: Francesco Galli Zugaro, Founder & CEO of Aqua Expeditions
Q: What did you see in the yachting market and the ultra-affluent traveler that made you think there was a genuine business opportunity?
There was a long-standing appetite for intimate, adventure-forward experiences that still deliver high comfort, and Aqua could pair that with authentic, destination-specific expertise rather than standard mass-market cruising.
