In this episode, our guest is Curtis S. Chin, former U.S. Ambassador to the Asian Development Bank and current Asia Fellow at the Milken Institute. With deep experience spanning diplomacy, finance, and sustainable development, Curtis shares insights on Asia's energy future, the balance of access and innovation, and why responsible development must focus on "People, Planet, and Partnership." He reflects on his days at the ADB, the need for localized energy solutions like micro-hydro and solar, and why maintenance—not just installation—is critical for long-term success. The conversation also dives into AI's growing role, the risks of misinformation, the widening digital divide, and how social and AI literacy are becoming vital skills. Curtis also touches on entrepreneurship, sharing case studies from clean tech to creative economies, while encouraging a broader, more inclusive definition of prosperity—one that includes investing in children, health, education, and community-level impact.
