    I think Brace said his name was "Racial Jake" and they literally thought he said "Rachel Jake."

      In the podcast he said when they asked him to spell it he couldn't bring himself to right down "Racial."

    The CEO of a software company praises Shen Yun as the acme of perfection and makes people feel hopeful

    [NTD Times, Beijing, April 09, 2023] Rachel Jake is the CEO of a software development company. On the afternoon of April 8, he brought his colleague, senior software engineer Steven Goldberg ( Steven Goldberg watched the third performance of Shen Yun Global Art Troupe at the David Kirk Theater in Lincoln Center, New York . Jack said that after watching the performance, he was encouraged and filled with hope.

    Rachel Jake, CEO of a software development company: "I feel inspired and hopeful. Shen Yun dancers have such superb wrestling skills, and they have such dedication to traditional Chinese culture. I am asking myself, what am I missing in my life? How many things, can I still work hard for it?"

    CEO Rachel Jake: "I had an incredible time. It was a fantastic show. The dance skills were amazing and the music and lyrics were truly out of this world."

    The superb skills of Shen Yun dancers made Jake feel unbelievable and amazed.

    CEO Rachel Jake: "The dancers are incredible. Omg, don't know how they (the dancers) pull off those moves. I don't want to call it a stunt, but the dance is truly breathtaking!"

    CEO Rachel Jake: "We should revive all traditional cultures. I think the revival of traditional Chinese culture will definitely get a boost from Shen Yun."

    CEO Rachel Jake: "I think you have done a great job, and I hope to watch it again. I can't believe Shen Yun produces a new set of programs every year. I will come next year."

    Steven Goldberg, a senior software engineer in Jake's company, was full of praise for Shen Yun's symphony orchestra and thanked Shen Yun for bringing him such an unexpected surprise.

    Steven Goldberg, Senior Software Engineer: "I didn't know what to expect when I went into the theater, and I was blown away by the results. The show was very dynamic and colorful. I'm a musician myself, so I was enchanted. I always like to see live Symphony. Very interesting and a lot of surprises, because I really didn't know what kind of show it was going to be."

    Steven Goldberg: "Amazing. A live symphony always makes a show more special than one that's pre-recorded. The music sounds amazing, beautiful and dynamic. It's a real pleasure to watch."

    Whenever I see Brace I have this weird compulsion to want to hear him talking in a Droopy Dog voice, and I don't know why.

    My "I lost my virginity at Shen Yun 2022" shirt is finally arriving. If it's still playing in Wyoming, I'm attending to people-watch the audience.
