I don't think you all are ready for this EPIC interview with Shannon Lee! It was an extreme honor to be invited to the Bruce Lee office to interview the CEO of the Bruce Lee Family Companies, President of the Bruce Lee Foundation, and daughter of Bruce Lee. Shannon has been on my bucketlist of dream interviews for quite some time now due to the impact Bruce Lee has had on my family and particularly with my father.
We go into a deep-dive of who Bruce Lee was, in addition to talking about identity, her upcoming Warrior TV series (launching April 5th), Quentin Tarantino's movie, and what it means to keep up the family legacy.
So grab some popcorn and a drink because this interview is about to be the most in-depth interview ever about Shannon Lee and the impact Bruce Lee had in the world.
Thank you so much to Shannon for being so generous!

Wow Shannon Lee is amazing. Not only is she doing a great job protecting and enhancing her Father’s legacy, she does it without any ego. I’m so impressed!

I was 24 years old when your father death came across my TV set. I was sad to tears because I have followed him from the Green Hornet mid 1960 years. I’m so happy you keep your father and brother Legacy alive.

Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee are both wonderful men. I am thankful for Linda and Shannon Lee for sharing their memories and stories with us all. I remember the 1st time I watched a Bruce Lee movie. It was back in the 80s. That was the 1st time I learned about Bruce Lee and I have been hooked ever since that day. I still enjoy talking about and learning about the legacy of the man.

Shannon Lee, you are so beautiful. Never stop being beautiful lovely. You have your fathers soul in you. Keep doing what you do. I'm a 56 year old African American man that admire your fathers philosophy. Thank you Shannon.

Naturally beautiful. I was a introvert in 1974 growing up in the South Bronx, all that changed when Bruce Lee came on the seen. You had little Black Chinese Bruce Lee's wannabes walking around including me. We tried to talk like him, walk like him, we bought uniform and didn't even know anything, but maybe our Bruce Lee screams when we get into our Bruce Lee stands would help us in a fight, uh sometimes it worked and shit it hurted when it didn't. Anyway thanks to your family for helping change the world. Keep up the good work Shannon.

Her Dad is a great philosopher ..His life faced so many adversaries in his excursion. But,he used his mind profusely in a positive way. Such a comet of energy. I look at one of his quotes everyday of my life at this point. He wrote: Defeat is a state of mind. That's all I will write from this quote out of respect to her father's work. But that's how it starts. He's so correct about that .He expounded on that a lot more. But, I would expect that you all look it up. It's written the quote on a large poster with Bruce Lee's images. I look at it every morning. The quote is quintessential for anyone going through this matrix called life.

Shannon is a beautiful woman who is a fantastic human being, who has remained so honest and true to looking after both the affairs and legacies of both her father and brother. I could go on and on. . . Thank you Bruce for all your hard work and talent and leaving us with so many memories. Thank you Linda for being such a great mother and role model to your children.
