In this special pilot episode of Raising Saint London, we meet the heart of the story—8-year-old Saint, a bright NYC kid with big dreams and even bigger determination. After studying Mandarin since the age of three, Saint0 is on a mission to travel to Taiwan for a 4-week cultural and language immersion program… but there's just one catch—it’s really expensive.
Told from Saint's point of view, this episode introduces the origin of Project Taiwan, how a child's curiosity sparked a family-wide mission, and why kids shouldn’t just watch their parents chase dreams—they should be invited to build them together.
Whether you're a parent, teacher, dreamer, or creative entrepreneur, this heartwarming episode reminds us that children can lead, co-create, and inspire action when we give them the mic.
