American Lost His Business in Thailand plus an INCREDIBLE Life Story

[@derrick9635]

This man and the firemen he talks about are extrodinary humans on another level.

[@fomofud9479]

Charlie seems like a great guy with ethics and empathy. Great interview.

[@ThairishTimes]

spot on, glad you liked it

[@williamhartz8707]

As an American, it’s refreshing to hear someone that speaks eloquently and with ethics. Thanks Charlie for sharing your story.

[@ThairishTimes]

That’s it! You can just tell by listening to Charlie that he was a good leader cos he has good ethics. I’d listen to someone like him

[@fergspan5727]

I watched till the end , great story . I’ll be in Bangkok in July for the first time , I’m from Kilkenny in Ireland , living in Australia for many years. I have a few stories on what’s it’s like to move over this side of the world and what not to expect and what’s changed and what advice I’d give to anyone who wants to look for their next move here .

Dude you find amazing shtories with amazing people. I don't know how you do it except that people that see you're interviews see the respectful way you interact and trust you and share it. Tell me if i'm wrong but yeah, you've earned peoples trust. Thanks.

[@ThairishTimes]

Thanks Mike, i’m glad you think so

[@jgrob64906]

I was in New York during 9/11, served in the military for 4 years when I was young, and done dickram yoga for 15 years (in Brooklyn). Many things to relate to with Charlie. Great interview!

[@ThairishTimes]

Lots of similarities between you too for sure. Thanks for watching. I’ve taken up doing yoga again after I met Charlie. Just finished a hot yoga class and feel great

[@michaelmorgan3415]

Great interview Pete. Charlie is the real deal, and yea he's in great shape for his age. I would have guessed at least eight or ten years younger than 72. I live about 30 miles NE of NYC and remember the morning of 9/11 very well, FDNY lost over 300 men that day. Like Paddy Brown they were headed up the stairs into harms way.

[@ThairishTimes]

Brave men all of them. I’m glad we could talk about Paddy Brown. I saw a video on YT of him in the 80’s saving a man in a burning building

[@mjay6508]

Cut it out Pete....... EVERY vid you produce, those you interview, are all GEMS mate.... I’ve been having a Thairish afternoon binge watching your episodes, and each and every one of them I find enthralling, listening to others tell their stories.... Everyone you interview have really interesting life stories, and what I like is that you let them tell their story, with minimal interruptions or talking over them. All the great journo/interviewers would research their next guest, then design their questions to lead the guest to reveal more and more to a conclusion, pertinent to the guest..... all the while taking the viewer on a roller coaster of learning, emotions, knowledge, and personal reflection...... Kudos Pete, you are well on your way mate... THANK YOU again for the opportunity to ‘meet’ and spend time with such colorful characters, cheers from Chiang Mai............

[@liro_mngbt]

Another gem of a find, Pete! Charlie not only has a great story but is a great storyteller as well. Love his insights and his take on life, he’s definitely worth a follow! Looking forward to more of these mate. They just keep getting better and better!

[@ThairishTimes]

Thank you Liro mate, more to come. It was a pleasure to listen to Charlie

[@globalcitizen740]

Great interview! I’m from Brooklyn and experienced 9/11 as well. I hope that Thai family paid it forward or at least tried to pass along a gift for Mr. Charlie taking care of them. I love his quote about being American and loving his country. I feel them same way. Enjoy your retirement Mr. Charlie ❤️

[@ThairishTimes]

Yeah, I often meet expats who say they hate their country. So it was a breath of fresh air to hear his positive outlook on life

[@globalcitizen740]

@@ThairishTimes very true! I love my country and all of the opportunities I’ve been afforded as an American. I think so many people come here talking bad about their countries because they don’t have the freedom to run a muck like they do in Thailand.

[@penparnsailarm7094]

I like the way he tells stories. It is like listening to an audio. There is a lot of little detail and self reflection. Enjoy it a lot. Thank you to both of you.

[@DeanConnolly-ke8rp]

Another absolute quality interview

[@lordjim3109]

This guy really impressed me. What an inspiring life and attitude. A far cry from the compulsive- obsessive character you interviewed before him.

[@ThairishTimes]

Thanks for watching, more to come 🙏🙏

[@lordjim3109]

Thank you for responding. I always appreciate when youtubers respond to comments. I greatly enjoy your quality interviews, I only wish you would focus a little more on the Thai part of people`s lives (for obvious reasons, I think). As much as this gentleman`s firefighting story was fascinating to listen to, I would really love to learn more more about his business experiences in Thailand ( for example: what does it mean that it is "very difficult" to start a business in Thailand - in what sense difficult?, etc.). Also the yoga thread left me wishing for more details. Overall, great job, glad more`s coming up.

[@ericzellershow]

Amazing story! He has lived a life that deserves an autobiography!

[@ThairishTimes]

He does, he should write one

[@martinpeacocke8968]

Thanks for your service Charlie as a soldier and fireman. Great story! Enjoy every day Charlie Thailand is great! How fortunate we are to be here.

[@scottDchicago]

This is the type of episode where Pete shines most brightly. It contains an intellectual punch with its authenticity and dares to achieve content of substance and depth. Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this interview and it truly was a fascinating life’s story.

[@ThairishTimes]

Thanks for the kind words Scott ☺️☺️☺️☺️

[@BrassLock]

Good Onya Pete and Charlie. A really fascinating interview, kept me enthralled the whole way through, despite all the fireworks going off in my Chiang Mai village this evening 31/12/21 😳 Charlie does indeed tell a good story, and I have been a subscriber to his Channel for quite along time . . . he deserves lots more subscribers, that's for sure. Although Charlie has the _gift of the gab,_ and doesn't need any prodding to talk, your abiity to listen and not interrupt is your great gift of the _"listening interviewer"_ Thanks Mate 🙏 😊

Your interview with Charlie has to be one of the best I have ever seen out of Thailand. I was raised not far from his home in New York City so can relate to him in many ways. I subscribed to his channel and hopefully will meet with him once I get home to Thailand and rest after nearly two years away. Thank you for this. Happy New Year.

[@sonamfitness]

What great energy this guy has. Cool dude.

[@ThairishTimes]

Great energy for his age. Fantastic!

[@SeanHendy]

There is something very appealing and enjoyable listening to people that are passionate, especially about their career. Charlie is no exception. Good to hear Charlie has processed what happened on 9/11. Not an easy event to have to go through, more so when you personally know people that lost their lives. In regards to Charlie's business, he 'could' create online yoga classes, and all his previous class attendees could then log in and still take his classes and he would have a revenue stream. If he markets this and grows the audience not only would his revenue of course grow, but it then creates an opportunity to sell yoga clothing, equipment etc. Maybe Charlie hasn't got much experience of the online world, but it shouldn't be difficult to learn the knowledge needed to get it off the ground.

[@ThairishTimes]
