"My fireside chat with David Quan 权丁文 was comprehensive, engaging, and superb. He clearly did his research, asked penetrating questions, and even got me to discuss topics I've never covered in prior public conversations. The fact that our discussion lasted 2.5 hours, and that the entire audience remained engaged, says it all." - Dr Mohamed El-Erian, Chancellor Candidate of Cambridge University.

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
