Have you ever wondered what it was like to be a political refugee? How do you go from being an illiterate street kid to the CEO of a national education franchise?

Most people would give up on a goal after thirteen years of trying. Hao Lam isn’t most people. Growing up as a seven-year-old in wartorn Vietnam, Hao was a penniless street kid. He frequently skipped school, went hungry, and watched his family experience political persecution. Despite getting shot at and even jailed, Hao finally found himself in the US at the age of 27, having just earned his college degree and gotten married to the love of his life. Even then, Hao hadn’t quite reached his fairy-tale ending. He failed again and again at trying to achieve the American Dream. Restaurants, mortgage companies, real-estate companies - they all went bankrupt. True to his never-give-up nature, Hao persisted in seeking out his own version of the American Dream.
