An activist who still is trying to change the world and not grow up. \n\n\n\nHe headed to Los Angeles to earn degrees from UCLA\, USC\, Occidental College and a post-graduate Coro fellowship\, igniting his 50-year love affair with the imperfect paradise of the City of Angels. Since graduating from UCLA\, he had 18 jobs traversing every sector. His asymmetrical career taught him the great lessons of reflection\, self-regulation\, and re-generation that he shares with others. \n\n\n\nJohn was EVP/COO of the California Community Foundation. Founding President of OnlineLearning.net\, one of the earliest start-ups of online continuing higher education. President/CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles\, CEO of the CK12 Foundation\, Executive Director of the UCLA Alumni Association\, Vice Chancellor of External Affairs at UCLA\, and Vice President and General Manager of Falcon Cable Television. \n\n\n\nHis real development as a human being emerged from his philanthropic and volunteer work. \n\n\n\nHe is a prolific writer with more than 1000 blog posts. His popular Your Weekly Ass Kicker\, and his new book Quest: 121 questions of liberation from the prison of self-domestication help leaders reflect on their self-development and moral alignment. \n\n\n\nHe is happily married with three amazing children and a grandson. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nMisa Chien ’08:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMisa Chien is a UCLA alumna\, serial entrepreneur\, speaker\, executive mindset coach\, and Founder and CEO of The Authentic Asian\, a global community for Asian female leaders. \n\n\n\nMisa began her entrepreneurial journey as co-founder of Nom Nom Truck\, an early leader in the gourmet food truck movement. The company competed in the inaugural season of Food Network’s The Great Food Truck Race\, won every challenge except the finale\, and earned Misa a place on Inc.’s 2011 30 Under 30 list. She later founded Autopilot Reviews\, a customer feedback and employee training technology company. \n\n\n\nDrawing on more than 15 years of experience building businesses and communities\, Misa now helps founders and executives lead with greater authenticity\, overcome the internal barriers that limit their growth\, and build influence without losing themselves in the process. Through The Authentic Asian\, she has created a trusted community where Asian female leaders can build meaningful relationships\, navigate the realities of leadership\, and feel less alone at the top. \n\n\n\nHer work has been featured in Forbes\, Inc.\, Bloomberg\, and The New York Times\, and she has spoken at TEDx and business events nationwide. \n\n\n\nWe hope you will consider supporting our event\, our alumni networks\, and our student scholars! \n\n\n\n\nyou can donate directly to our scholarship funds here\n\n\n\nAsian Pacific Alumni Scholarship Fund \n\n\n\nKyra Goldfarb Scholarship Fund | Bruin Professionals

SUMMARY:Washington D.C. Area Network: UCLA Alumni Recent Grad Mixer
DESCRIPTION:Whether you arrived after graduation or this has always been home\, life after UCLA can make even a familiar city feel new when you see it through a fresh perspective. But there are likely plenty of Bruins nearby — we just don’t recognize one another without our BearWear. Now is the time to change that. Join us for an evening of relaxed fun with the classes of 2023-26. \n\n\n\nThis is as low-key as it gets: no program\, no icebreakers\, and no expectation that you work the room. If you’d rather not walk in alone\, bring a friend — they don’t need to be a Bruin. Drop in for a bit or stay all evening. And if you want a preview\, that’s Astro pictured below — our spot for the evening. Astro gives us two floors to spread out\, plus pool\, darts\, TVs\, lounges and plenty of corners for conversation. Food and beverages will be available for individual purchase\, so grab a local beer or cocktail\, a fried chicken sandwich\, a donut or whatever sounds good while you meet other recent grads who already know at least one chapter of your story. \n\n\n\nMaybe you’ll meet other sports fans to watch a UCLA game with this fall\, find people who want to explore a new local spot in the next few months\, or exchange career tips down the line. Who knows — you might even end up sitting across from one another at a Dinner for 12 Strangers that one of you hosts next February. This could be the start of a circle of Bruins you keep bumping into — and choosing to spend time with. Our greatest hope is that you make friends you like enough to say\, “We should do this again\,” and then actually do it.
