In this episode of John Chat EP45, we welcome Gu Min, founder of the barefoot shoe brand Feebees Barefoot Shoes, who shares his distinctive entrepreneurial journey and footwear philosophy. Gu Min began by making first-walker shoes for children and eventually went on to develop barefoot shoes for adults. The brand has now been established for 12 years. The core design philosophy of barefoot shoes is to minimize restrictions on the natural movement and development of the feet, in contrast to conventional footwear that constrains movement through rigid structures. The soles are soft and fully flexible, allowing wearers to bend the shoe completely and to perceive the ground more clearly while walking. This creates an experience similar to barefoot training, while still providing protection and preventing the risks associated with walking barefoot on modern, hazardous surfaces. Gu Min is committed to creating a new lineage and school of footwear design, firmly believing that shoes should adapt to the feet—rather than forcing feet to adapt to shoes. He also speaks openly about the major challenges encountered during product development and entrepreneurship, including severe financial pressure (at times feeling deeply discouraged due to cash-flow losses), being reported by competitors and fined by government authorities (with single fines reaching NTD 600,000), and the tens of millions in trial-and-error costs during the early stages of the business. He treats these setbacks as part of everyday life, confronting them with a fighter’s mindset. For Gu Min, the greatest sense of achievement comes from seeing customers improve their lives through wearing his shoes—something he considers far more meaningful than simply selling footwear. Ultimately, he hopes his products can serve as a creative medium for dialogue with the Taiwanese public. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

本集《John聊EP45》邀請到了Feebees襪鞋創辦人陳谷銘，分享他獨特的創業歷程與製鞋理念。谷銘最初從為小孩製作學步鞋出發，最終開發出成人用的赤足鞋，該品牌已成立12年。赤足鞋的設計理念是盡量不限制腳部的自然活動和發育，與傳統鞋子限制活動方向的設計不同。鞋底結構柔軟，可以完全彎曲，讓穿著者在行走時對地面的感知更清晰，達到類似赤足訓練的效果，同時提供保護，避免在現代危險的地面上赤腳行走。 谷銘致力於創造一個新的鞋子流派或脈絡，堅持讓鞋子適應腳型，而不是要求腳去適應鞋子。他也分享了研發過程中的巨大挑戰，包括資金壓力（曾因資金流失感到非常挫折）、被同業檢舉導致政府罰款（如單次罰款60萬），以及創業初期數千萬的試錯成本。他將這些挫折視為日常，用格鬥精神去應對。對谷銘而言，最大的成就感是看到顧客因穿上他們的鞋子而變得更好，這比賣鞋子更有價值。他希望他的產品能成為與台灣大眾溝通的一種創作方式。 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

This podcast is the Commentary of JohnChat_EP43, we invite Gu-Ming Chen, founder of Feebees Sock Shoes, for an in-depth conversation about how he transformed from a successor in a traditional industry into the pioneer of a distinctive barefoot-inspired footwear brand. He introduces Feebees sock shoes—designed to simulate walking barefoot while wearing shoes, enabling the body to engage more joints and muscle groups during movement, much like early humans did, and thereby promoting more natural muscular activation. Gu-Ming also candidly explains how Feebees differentiates itself from the more common five-toe shoes on the market, highlighting practical challenges associated with five-toe designs, including toe adaptability, persistent odor issues, and aesthetic limitations. For the first time, he reveals the real story behind his entrepreneurial journey. Raised in a family that ran a traditional metalworking factory specializing in plastic injection molds, he accumulated deep technical expertise from an early age. During his studies, he specialized in mold engineering, and while majoring in mechanical engineering at university, he also cross-enrolled in biomedical engineering courses. Leveraging both family resources and academic training, he successfully 3D-printed the entire human skeleton and even assisted in producing surgical models—building a solid foundation in biomechanics and human skeletal anatomy. Most compellingly, Gu-Ming shares how he applied a “challenge-driven” mindset to his academic life, and how, after graduation, he made the difficult decision to sever ties with the family business. To break away from inherited business models and long-standing conflicts, he chose to shut down his father’s company entirely, restart with a team of just three people, and become, at the time, Taiwan’s youngest mold factory owner. He reflects on how this decisive, non-sentimental choice ultimately helped him regain clients and establish his own leadership identity. How did he combine replication expertise with medical knowledge to create products that balance functionality and aesthetics? How did he navigate the intense clash between tradition and innovation? Tune in to this episode of John聊 (JohnChat) and let Gu-Ming Chen share a startup story driven by passion, technical mastery, and personal resolve. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

本集我們邀請到Feebees襪鞋創辦人陳谷銘一同深入探討他如何從一個傳統產業的繼承者，轉身成為獨特赤足鞋品牌的開創者。他將親自介紹他創立的Feebees襪鞋，這種鞋款旨在 模擬赤腳穿鞋的樣子，讓人們在活動時能像早期人類一樣，啟動更多的關節和肌群，達成更自然的肌肉活動方式。他更將坦誠解析 Feebees 如何與市面上常見的五指鞋做出區隔，並指出五指鞋在腳趾適應性、異味難除以及外觀美感上的實用性挑戰。節目中，谷銘將首次揭露他創業背後的真實故事。他來自經營塑膠射出模具的傳統鐵工廠家族，從小在工廠中累積了深厚的技術底蘊。他不僅在學期間專研模具專業，大學機械系時更跨修醫學工程課程，並利用家中的技術與學校資源，將全身骨頭 3D 列印出來，甚至協助製作手術用模型，具備了紮實的生物力學和人體骨骼知識。最精彩的是，谷銘將分享他如何在學業上運用「挑戰」的精神，以及畢業後決定切斷與父輩傳統事業關係的衝撞與磨合。為了擺脫家族舊有的經營模式和衝突，他甚至親自做出決斷，讓父親的公司「全收掉」，只帶領三個人重新開始創業，並成為當時臺灣最年輕的模具工廠老闆。他將分享這種「不戀棧」的果斷選擇，如何最終為他贏回客戶，並確立他個人的領導地位。想知道他是如何將「復刻能力」與醫學知識結合，創造出既具功能性又符合美觀的產品？他又是如何面對傳統與創新的巨大衝擊？請鎖定本集《John聊》，讓古民告訴你一個充滿熱情、技術和個人決斷力的創業故事！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

This podcast is the Commentary of JohnChat_EP41 that features a conversation between a host and his student, Han Lin, focusing on the transformative power of sports and coaching, particularly for youth from disadvantaged backgrounds or those in correctional facilities. Han Lin, a doctoral candidate with a sports background, shares his experiences and observations regarding how a coach's commitment can profoundly influence a student's life trajectory, contrasting his own path with that of former teammates who faced challenges like poor family function and academic struggles. The discussion also critically examines the overemphasis on competitive success in sports, arguing instead for the role of athletics in fostering personal growth and providing social support, especially for children who may have learning disabilities or behavioral challenges. Ultimately, the speakers advocate for a broader view of sports that prioritizes well-being and self-improvement over merely achieving medals or professional careers, asserting that such an approach can significantly contribute to societal happiness and growth. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

這一集是《John聊》第41集，特別在高雄的一間商旅錄製，因為隔天我們就要前往矯正學校──「明陽中學」，陪伴孩子們參加一場特別的「虛擬單車校慶比賽」。本集的嘉賓翰霖，是我優秀的學生，如今已是特教博士候選人。這集我們聊的不只是運動，而是生命。 家庭與成長 翰霖從小就是手球隊的體育班學生。三十歲回頭看，他驚覺自己過去的遭遇，竟與現在在矯正學校教書的經驗深深呼應。許多體育班孩子，學業程度只有「5C」──連小學高年級都不一定達到。幸運的是，他的母親用「先讀書才能打球」的嚴格方式，讓他養成了學習習慣。這份堅持，成了他後來能走下去的力量。 人生的分岔路 翰霖談到兩位隊友： 一位球技極佳，卻因家庭破碎、生活失序，差點迷失；最後靠著教練的關心與引導，走上志願役軍職，如今有了穩定的家庭。 另一位則因缺乏管教，逐漸被幫派吸收，最後因販毒鋃鐺入獄。 他深刻體會到：當學業與運動都找不到成就感時，若家庭也無法給予支持，孩子就很可能被外在的「溫暖」拉走。 運動的真正價值 我們一致認為，運動的價值，不只是奪牌、榮耀。它是一種力量，一種能接住孩子的力量。 在矯正學校裡，孩子們常因老師的一句關心而紅了眼眶，因為在過去，他們早就被放棄。 而在特殊教育現場，哪怕是「從10分進步到20分」，都值得肯定。因為那背後，是努力、是希望。 幸福台灣的運動夢 運動應該是每個人都能找到位置的舞台。它能開展人生的廣度，也能讓生命多一分滿意與幸福。 我們期待，用運動為孩子們建構一個「幸福台灣」，讓他們不只看到輸贏，更看到自己生命的可能。 因此，我建議運動部不應該只將目光集中在奪牌或「壯大台灣」的口號上，而是推廣用運動營造「幸福台灣」，讓每個人找到適合讓自己更幸福的運動。 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

This episode of JohnChat features a live recording of the host’s speech delivered at the Sports Administration’s training workshop for university sports directors. The topic was “Future Strategies and Development of Adapted Sports in Higher Education Institutions.” The purpose was to introduce directors and administrators of university sports offices to the key issues that should be considered when promoting adapted sports on campus. Key Content and Highlights: 1. The Necessity and Legal Basis of Adapted Sports Sports equality as a core goal: The primary mission of establishing the Department of Sports Development is to ensure that persons with disabilities have the right to sports. Equality in sports must go beyond slogans and be genuinely experienced by people with disabilities. Rising numbers of students with disabilities in higher education: Despite declining overall enrollment, the number of special education students (with disabilities) is increasing yearly, now exceeding 16,000 and moving toward 20,000. Legal obligation: Article 38 of the Special Education Act clearly states that adapted physical education is a necessary service for students. Failure to provide this service, or exempting students from it, essentially constitutes a violation of the law. Inclusion and human rights model: Taiwan promotes inclusion, seeking to integrate students with disabilities into the community. Outdated charity or medical models should be abandoned in favor of the social and human rights models, which emphasize the joy and rights of students with disabilities to participate in PE, sports teams, and athletic events. 2. Strategies and Challenges for Universities Teaching and conflict prevention: Students with certain disabilities (e.g., learning disabilities, autism, emotional/behavioral disorders) often face conflicts in PE classes. Without adequate special education knowledge, PE teachers may find it difficult to interact safely, increasing the risk of accidents. Trend toward inclusive teaching: Today, 96% of special education students are in mainstream schools. Those who make it to university mostly grew up in regular classes, including PE. Therefore, PE teachers should be capable of inclusive teaching. Strengthening teacher capacity: Due to university autonomy, most faculty lack opportunities for professional development in adapted PE. Institutions must take this seriously and provide training and capacity-building. Facility improvement and student participation in decision-making: Universities should optimize sports facilities (e.g., installing pool transfer chairs) and collaborate with resource centers to survey the needs and satisfaction of students with disabilities, ensuring their involvement in decision-making and evaluation. Elevating the status of sports: Sports should not be treated as a luxury, decoration, or expendable item, but rather as a necessity and daily essential. Valuing services for special populations strengthens the educational role of university sports and secures its place on campus. 3. Promoting Inclusion in Major Competitions Participation of students with disabilities in the National Intercollegiate Athletic Games (NIAG): The speaker called for opening NIAG to students with disabilities, based on the human rights model, to encourage their participation in teams and clubs. Since NIAG’s purpose is to make sports enjoyable for all students nationwide, excluding students with disabilities from major competitions makes it difficult for coaches, clubs, and sports offices to motivate them to engage. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

本集John聊是一場主持人的演講實際錄音，這場演講是講者在運動部舉辦的大專體育主管演習會上發表的，主題為「大專校院適應運動之前瞻策略與發展」，目的是向各大專院校體育室的主任與主管們介紹未來在大專院校發展適應運動時應注意的事項。 主要內容與重點： 1. 適應運動的必要性與法源依據： ◦ 運動平權是核心目標：成立運動發展司最大的目標是希望身心障礙民眾擁有運動的權利。運動平權不應是口號，而是要讓身心障礙者感受得到。 ◦ 大專身心障礙學生人數攀升：儘管少子化，特殊學生（身心障礙）人數卻逐年攀升，已超過16,000名，且持續朝2萬人邁進。 ◦ 法律強制要求：特殊教育法已明定適應體育是學生必要的服務（第38條）。若未提供此服務或讓學生免修，基本上屬於違法行為。 ◦ 共融與人權模式：臺灣推動共融趨勢，期望身心障礙者能共融在群體中。應拋棄過時的慈善模式或醫療模式，轉向社會模式與人權模式。人權模式強調身心障礙學生仍享有參與體育課、校隊及運動賽事的快樂與權利。 2. 大專院校推展策略與挑戰： ◦ 教學與衝突預防：許多障礙別（如學習障礙、自閉症、情緒行為障礙）的學生容易在體育課出現衝突。若體育教師不了解特教知能，將難以與特教生互動，極可能發生危險或意外。 ◦ 融合教學趨勢：現今96%的特教生都在普通學校，能夠上大學的學生多半在普通班成長，因此他們從小到大都在普通班上體育課。體育教師應具備融合式教學的能力。 ◦ 重視教師增能：由於大學自治，大專院校教師普遍缺乏適應體育相關進修機會。校方必須重視，並提供教師調訓與增能。 ◦ 運動場館優化與學生決策參與：應優化運動場館設施（如購買游泳池轉位椅）。體育室應與資源教室合作，調查特殊生對體育課的需求和滿意度，讓學生能參與決策與評量。 ◦ 提升體育地位：運動不應是「奢侈品」、「裝飾品」或「消耗品」，而應成為學生的「必須品」和「日常用品」，重視特殊族群服務能鞏固大專體育的教育功能，使其在學校中屹立不搖。 3. 推動大型賽會共融： ◦ 全大運應開放身心障礙者參與：講者呼籲全大運應基於人權模式開放身心障礙者參賽，以鼓勵他們加入校隊和社團，因為全大運的目標是讓全國的讀書人都喜歡運動。目前若不開放在大型賽事參與，教練、社團和體育室都不容易鼓勵特教學生參與。 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Nomination Thank-You Special | Golden Harmony of Happiness Nominated for the 60th Golden Bell Awards (Radio) — “Social Concern Program Award” Our heartfelt thanks to the judges for this recognition, and to National Education Radio (NER) for steadfast support. A special note of gratitude to my co-host, Walker Hsu (Yi-Teng Hsu). The seed of this program was, in truth, to “encourage (read: nudge!)” Walker to accelerate the literature review for his PhD—set against Taiwan’s approach to becoming a super-aged society in 2025, and centered on the everyday challenges of dual-elder families: intergenerational mutual care, the aging of people with disabilities, and the systemic issues at the intersection of aging and disability. We wanted to translate rigorous research into knowledge that everyday listeners can understand and use. With NER’s trust, we were fortunate to bring these vital topics into public life through a radio show. First and foremost—thank you, NER, for your confidence and support. We also owe deep thanks to Yu-Juan for shaping the show’s overall structure and design. Season 1 of Golden Harmony of Happiness spans 13 episodes, woven—rigorously yet gently—around a three-part arc: Golden Prelude : Each episode opens with a literary work resonant with the theme, and welcomes guests from real-life contexts—such as families facing rare diseases, mental health conditions, or autism—to awaken empathy and lay the groundwork. Golden Symphony: Cross-disciplinary experts join for in-depth dialogues on topics like nutrition for older adults (e.g., Prof. 劉沁渝, Department of Nutritional Science, Fu Jen University), leisure and activity, technology and aging (digital divide, fraud prevention, AI robotics), dementia support, caregiving in families of people with disabilities (e.g., 卓碧金 of the Cerebral Palsy Association), and interprofessional collaboration. We begin from the lived experience of people with disabilities, translating rigorous scientific evidence into accessible, friendly science communication—helping listeners reflect on their own health, diet, and quality of life. Golden March: Each episode closes with a carefully chosen song that echoes the theme—spanning Mandarin, Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean, Hakka, and English. For example, during Lunar New Year we featured Shu-Fang’s Taiwanese song Gu-wei (孤味); on depression, we used a BTS track to bring younger audiences into the conversation. In the finale, Walker and I teamed up with 希子 to write and perform the eponymous rap single Golden Harmony of Happiness—a warm yet powerful coda to the season. Our gratitude to every guest who entrusted us with their life stories, and to each expert who poured in their professionalism. Beyond the broadcast, we have been extending the work both online and offline: listener meetups, the “Golden Mermaids” swim class (encouraging women 55+ who fear water to bravely get in), and the “Golden Harmony AI Chatroom.” Our hope is to carry the show’s ethos into daily life—practices for living well in an aging future. The intention behind Golden Harmony of Happiness is simple—and not simple at all: in an era where aging is the norm, to accompany everyone in “living well and aging gracefully.” Thank you to NER, our production team, every guest, and every listener. All episodes are now on Channel+ for on-demand listening. Please share this care with anyone who might need it. Once again, thank you to all who made this nomination possible—this honor belongs to our collective effort and shared belief. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
