Full video interview with Sir Tim Hitchens available on: www.CoffeesOnMeDavidQuan.com !Guest Sir Tim Hitchens: "It was wonderful to sit on a manicured Oxford College lawn and chew the cud over almost three hours. I think we both feel great affection for our College (Wolfson), and that let us both relax into the Coffee's on Me, David Quan 权丁文 conversation. You’d done your research so well, and you pinpointed moments in my life that added up to a story I hadn’t before told. Thank you David, and I hope you carry on giving people the chance to talk about and through their lives; I hope those listening and watching can take something away which strikes a chord with them."---Sir Tim Hitchens has served as President of Wolfson College, Oxford since 2018, following thirty-five years in Her Majesty's Diplomatic Service.

Dr Arthur Laffer & David Quan 权丁文 | Presidential Medal of Freedom, Laffer Curve (Smithsonian), TIME 'Century's Greatest Minds', UK 'Prosperity Through Growth' (5 PMs Interviewed), 85YO Father of 6, Live Global Q&A | Coffee's on Me, Podcast Community

Dr. Arthur Laffer: "In over half a century advising presidents and prime ministers, and as an Economics professor, I've loved 'badass' youths - the few who actually do their homework, have personal curiosity about our broader world, and aren't afraid to push back constructively to problem-solve. From meeting David Quan 权丁文 at the Oxford Union to our special engagement for his Podcast Coffee's on Me - with students around the world joining live - I felt reinvigorated on why I still love engaging with young people even at age 85. David's founding ideals of giving, learning, and sharing mirror my own, and the global community he's built proves the point: get the incentives right, and people flourish! Over 3 hours, David asked well-researched questions, got me rocking, and I'd gladly return for more elaborate debates!"Thank you to Laffer Associates - Jillian Rooney and Belinda Dwyer - for their coordination, and to the Oxford Union for hosting Dr. Laffer's address where we first connected!Full video interview with Dr Arthur Laffer available on: www.CoffeesOnMeDavidQuan.com!

Known for the "Laffer Curve" - a concept he famously sketched on a napkin in 1974 that now resides in the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History - his ideas have shaped economic thinking and policy on both sides of the Atlantic.At 85, Dr. Laffer remains intellectually vital. His career spans:Founder & Chairman, Laffer Associates (economic research and consulting)Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient (2019) - the highest US civilian honorTIME Magazine "One of the Century's Greatest Minds" (1999)First Chief Economist, Office of Management and Budget (Nixon administration, under George Shultz)Economic Policy Advisory Board, President Reagan (1981-1989)Economic Adviser to Prime Minister Margaret ThatcherFormer Professor: University of Chicago (tenured at 28), USC, Pepperdine UniversityAuthor: Prosperity Through Growth (2025), Taxes Have Consequences (2022), and the annual Rich States, Poor StatesEducation: BA Economics (Yale), MBA & PhD Economics (Stanford)Father of 6, grandfather of 14, great-grandfather of 4His latest book, Prosperity Through Growth: Boosting Living Standards in the Age of Autocracy and AI (October 2025), draws on interviews with five former British Prime Ministers and nine former Chancellors to address the UK's economic future - warning that without policy changes, Britain may slide from 30th to 48th in global GDP per capita by 2050.Whether you agree or disagree with his ideas, Dr. Laffer's influence on global economic thinking is undeniable. This 3+ hour conversation explores his Ohio childhood, Yale and Stanford years, the famous napkin moment, his advisory roles across administrations, his views on incentives and prosperity, the UK economy, AI's impact on economics, and his reflections on legacy - with a live global audience joining for Q&A!WHY?

Richard Verity & David Quan 权丁文 | Alsama Schools for Refugees, McKinsey Partner, Illiterate to University-Ready (1000+ Children), Library of Congress Literacy Award, G12++ Refugee Baccalaureate, Cricket for Empowerment, | Coffee's on Me Podcast Community

Join the ‘Coffee’s on Me, David Quan’ Podcast Community - 1 Gift in Newsletter, 10+ socials, 100+ interviews, 20,000+ contributors - for more opportunities 💙Big Give to Alsama this week (all donations will be doubled): donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS000006KROnYAO Guest Richard Verity: "Interviewees don't always get the interviewers they deserve. But with David Quan 权丁文, Alsama became lucky. No other interviewer prepared so broadly and probed so deeply. At times, I felt uncomfortable, but that was a price I was glad to pay in return for empathy and understanding. I now understand why 'Coffee's on Me, David Quan 权丁文' Podcast commands such a following and community.“ Thank you to Nigel, Fairy, and Amelia for the filming! ---Richard Verity is a former management consultant and ex-McKinsey partner who, in 2020, radically changed his life trajectory. Alongside Kadria Hussein, Mohammed Khair, and his wife Meike (Micah) Ziervogel, he co-founded the Alsama Project — meaning "the sky" in Arabic.The journey that led to Alsama began, as Richard describes it, with a "simultaneous midlife crisis." Meike had written five novels and was running a publishing company in North London; Richard was spending his time in company headquarters, airports, and hotels. What was missing from their outwardly privileged lives was a palpable feeling of social impact. So, when their children left for university, they went to Lebanon. There, Richard did, in his words, "one brilliant thing": he introduced cricket to the teenagers of Shatila refugee camp, simply because he spoke no Arabic and needed a way to connect.As a non-contact sport where boys and girls can train and compete together, cricket became what Richard calls "a crash course in coping with success and failure" — and critically, a vehicle for girls' leadership in a context where 41% face early marriage.As Head of Strategy and Development, Richard has helped grow Alsama from a small empowerment centre into an award-winning NGO. They now operate four WASC-accredited education centres serving over 1,000 students - 66% of whom are girls - alongside 22 cricket hubs reaching 900 players across Lebanon. In February 2025, they launched their first international education centre in Syria.The model is remarkable: 90% of students arrive completely illiterate, yet Alsama prepares them for university in six years rather than twelve. The project has prevented early marriage for 256 girls - 99% of cases. And in 2026, they will launch the G12++, a first-of-its-kind, curriculum-agnostic high school equivalent certification designed for and by refugees and displaced youth, co-developed with Cambridge Assessment, Oxford MeasurED, the University of Leicester, and Alsama's own students.What speaks most to Alsama's character: during the 2024 war in Lebanon, they were the only educational provider that did not miss a single day of school.Their work has been recognised with the 2024 Library of Congress Literacy Award and the 2025 Ockenden Prize for advancing the self-reliance of refugees.---WHY?

Full video interview with Dr Ally Louks available: www.CoffeesOnMeDavidQuan.com !Dr. Ally Louks: "I had such a wonderful time speaking to David for his Podcast "Coffee’s on Me, David Quan 权丁文" in the grounds of my Cambridge University college, Peterhouse. Despite being encroached upon by a ladybird, a wasp, and a stray coffee cup over the course of the conversation, I wouldn’t have change the outdoor setting for the world. David was such a generous and thoughtful interlocutor and a natural interviewer, who allowed me to feel at ease, despite my general introversion. There were moments of real symbiosis that I’ll remember fondly and I am glad they were captured. It’s certainly the most intimate and personal interview I’ve done to date and I learned a little about myself too: namely that I am really bad at lightning round answers (sorry). But we covered so many topics close to my heart: books, mental health, smell in its many facets (of course), bisexuality, and how to cope with being a creative and empathetic person in an increasingly harsh world.“ Thank you to Zhilin Xu 徐之霖 for the filming and video editing!

#DontMissChris! Chris Lorde (Cambridge Union Presidential Candidate & Equalities Officer, Windrush Heritage, London→Texas→Toronto→Cambridge, HSPS, LGBTQ+ ACS, CULC, ADC, CamFM Radio, JSA National Director, #1 @ Texas | Coffee's on Me, David Quan 权丁文

☕'s on Me, David Quan 权丁文 Cambridge Union Election Special Series: Chris Lorde - Presidential CandidateEpisode 103 of #CoffeesOnMeDavidQuan: Chris Lorde is a second-year undergraduate reading HSPS (Human, Social, and Political Sciences) at Christ's College, University of Cambridge. A born Londoner and Windrush generation descendant, Chris grew up in a few places — from London to Reading, to Texas and Toronto. His diverse upbringing has given him a million and a half tales to tell, but it's also inspired a passion for social justice and challenging the status quo. He's currently the Secretary of the Cambridge Union and is running for President for the second time, having previously served as Equalities Officer before his first presidential campaign. He's also served as LGBTQ+ Officer for the Cambridge ACS, has spent multiple terms on the committee of the Cambridge University Labour Club, and regularly gets involved with societies like the ADC and Cam FM.Chris's passion for debating, dialogue, and social justice is a long-standing one. Before arriving in Cambridge, he was the National Director of Debate for the Junior State of America (JSA), a civic-engagement organisation that formerly held the title of the largest student-led organisation in the US. While involved, Christopher led JSA's Racial Justice Task Force, which in 2020 was nominated for an American Civic Collaboration Award, receiving an honourable mention alongside projects led by names Andrew Yang and Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser. He was also an active competitor on the local, state, and national speech & debate circuit, qualifying four years in a row to the National Speech and Debate Tournament and the National Individual Events Tournament of Champions. By the end of his time in high school, Chris was ranked #1 in Texas and top 10 in the US for competitive points earned in Informative Speaking.Those passions for debate and for justice still hold — he's given multiple paper speeches at the Union, too many speeches to count at CULC's Pints & Policy, and continues to remain involved politically at home (wherever that may be) and at Cambridge."Joining David for the Podcast was a wonderful experience - his questions truly reflected an impeccable degree of care and research, and the interview environment made me feel like I could truly open up and be honest. It was great to be able to join Coffee’s on Me, David Quan 权丁文. I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity!" - Chris---WHY?

He was born and raised in Bedfordshire where he attended a state comprehensive school and was one of two pupils in his year to get into Oxbridge. Despite an early interest in STEM Jack found himself unable to shake his fascination with 20th century history and politics, however many of his close friends would contend that his greatest love is the Eurovision Song Contest. His first involvement with societies at Cambridge came from his time on Caius JCR as Food and Bar officer, a job he relished in as a foodie. He is currently the Chair of Cambridge University Liberal Association, and the Debates Officer of the Cambridge Union. During his Debates term Jack has brought the likes of Peter Tatchell, the Commissioner-General of the Maldives, and Gayatri Spivak to the Union, speaking on a broad range of motions from art to electoral politics. He also delivered a gender balanced termcard. He is running to be President of the Cambridge Union in Lent 2026. Having only publicly spoken twice before coming to Cambridge he is passionate about the transformative power of debate and free expression.

David has a unique, empathetic way of taking you on a journey to reflect on yourself. His curiosity triggers the sharing of stories, the spontaneous answering of personal questions and the digging behind the obvious. Thank you David.” – Dr Henrik Naujoks---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! The themes ahead will be Legacy and Wealth AI. And the best part for guests?
