Let’s take a walk in this week’s guest’s shoes: It’s 1969, you are a child who immigrates to America from Hong Kong. Your parents, six siblings, and yourself move to LA’s Chinatown and are faced with gang wars, language barriers, and setbacks… Yet you take on your parents’ grit and work ethic, get into college, find success in work, and end up mayor of a city. Today on Be The Good with Kate: Dr. Ed Eng, Mayor of La Mirada, California, who is also a business professor, seasoned executive, and author of The Accidental Mayor. Previously, Dr. Eng was the Regional President of Los Angeles Times. During this time, he catapulted the Times to become the largest metropolitan daily newspaper in the country.
