"Everyone is Beautiful" with Gary Lau
Show Notes

My guest on the podcast this week is Gary Lau. Gary was born in USA and he grew up between Hong Kong and the US. He studied for a degree in Business Administration and Management in Manchester before returning to Hong Kong where he has worked since 2012. 

 Gary is a strong believer in working hard and working efficiently. He feels it’s a blessing and a privilege to be able to serve both in work and in a charity aspect. He is currently working in a family run business PRIMO Model Management.

 This is a Special Podcast to promote and assist in the launch of an album entitled “Everyone is Beautiful”. There will be a “Photo Exhibition” in Stanley (Hong Kong Island) being launched the 25th and 26th of March that will last one week. The Album shares professional photographs and stories of 36 Models and is done in collaboration with NGOs supporting disabled people.

 Gary shares stories in the podcast covering the inception and the work involved to bring this project to fruition. A project running for over two years involving Gary and countless others involved in this project.  It is a way to give back. A theme that that comes up several times is the podcast.
