Tell me about your vision.
You know, it sounds so crazy, even as you said that.
I'm like, wait, it's such a.
A pertinent question, right?
And the first thing I'm such an intuitive spiritual person.
When I think about my vision, I really think about the former me.
I am first generation born American, first generation entrepreneur.
And when I think about my vision, that vision of helping the first to be the first,
it can be scary to go on there by yourself and do do the thing, do the thing
when no one has done it before in your circle, in your family, in your friends.
And that vision, my vision as a first gen American, first gen entrepreneur
is just to say, you know what, let's do it anyway.
And we'll figure it out at the end of the day for me, helping first generation
entrepreneurs to figure out the how to close the gaps, to, to really step into
who they are, who they're becoming, that discovery, that spiritual side of,
of building your business is, is really where my vision is and where it shines.
It's easy for me to go logistics and say, Oh, and I help you to do X and Y and Z.
Right.
But really that word vision to me is more about passion.
It's about fulfillment.
It's about.
You know, I laugh at myself, stereotypical millennial, like leaving impression.
What are we doing to fulfill our lives?
What does that look like?
Right.
And vision is a part of that for me.
I love that.
So I do want to dive into the how a little bit.
I love, I love everything that you just said, and I want to find
out how did you get started?
Hmm.
So let me just share a long story long, long story long.
So, uh, as I shared a first generation born here and my dad is, is first
generation college and they had the American dream for me.
I am Hmong American.
And so for my family, my parents are like, just go to college, get a four
year degree, get into a nine to five job that's like, you know, you're
in a nine to five job that pays you.
Well, get a house, get a nice car, fill your home with some kiddos.
You're you're golden.
Right.
And, uh, I was, um, I am the, the eldest of all this, a five.
And I did what my parents said.
I did the thing, climb the corporate ladder, got all the way to the top.
And I'm like, okay, wait, okay.
But like, is this it?
And it was way more glamorized or less than, than I thought it would be.
And it was, it was almost like this.
Yeah.
It just didn't, it didn't fit for me.
And, um, one day, one of my colleagues actually said to me, if you were to take
your expertise and your energy and you bottled it up as an energy drink, I
would buy your drink every single day.
And I said, really?
Would you really absolutely.
And that at that point, never in a million years did I ever think that
entrepreneurship was ever going to be a part of my journey, a part of my identity,
like my future, that was a no.
And when he said that, I was like, okay, we'll see kind of just played around with
it, just, you know, just to see.
But, uh, it was that beingness of who I was becoming was I, I was able to
understand more about who I was authentically when I started my business.
And I realized that again, no, no shade to corporate, but for me,
corporate was censorship.
I had to show up as a type of person.
I had to hit all of the things on my job description was handed to me.
And I didn't want that.
I wanted rediscovery.
I wanted the ability to reinvent myself.
And so, uh, all of this started all of the today that you see the me today is
really because I had a colleague just tell me that he would purchase an
energy drink if I was to make it.
If it was you, if it gave him the feeling of being you, that's so cool.
That's such a fun concept.
Oh man, that's amazing.
