Even though we had just met, I felt like I had known Andy Tian for years.  Andy is the CEO and a co-Founder of Asia Innovations Group, which was built to become the largest global social entertainment platform. 

Some of the topics that Andy and I discussed:

• Being born in China and raised in Queens, New York
• Growing up in Queens reinforced Andy's multicultural views that still resonate with him today
• How the excitement of being in a new place outweighs the difficulties of adjusting
• Joining Google in 2005 as one of China's earlier team members
• Running Google's mobile business in China and helping Andy Rubin bring Android to China
• Starting one of the first social gaming companies in 2008 and then selling it to Zynga in 2010
• Asia Innovations Group was built to bring the most innovative products to a global audience
• Why Google really left China
• The importance of company culture which is simply the default mode of operation
• Being execution-oriented
• Be CEO - Be Pirate - Be Hero
• What is live social?
• Are financial services an opportunity?
