Brett Chan is a mysterious character. When I DM him about doing an interview, he replies with a friendly hello and then sends a photo of himself on a beach somewhere. He’s got long hair and a bushy black beard, wearing a red bandana and sunglasses. In the photo, he looks like he’s midway through some sort of yoga pose, stretching out over a large wooden stick of driftwood. Just behind him in the middle distance, a topless woman in a g-string with her back to the camera is midway through a cartwheel.
