Description

In April of 1975, one week before the Fall of Saigon, Phong Le and his family waited for a safe window under cover of the night for the transport airplane to take off to the Land of Opportunity, eventually ending up in an exotic, faraway town in West Texas. Phong Le's journey turned out an authentic American success story. He received degrees in business management and science and technology commercialization from the University of Texas at Austin. He was director of the North Texas medical technology center, then for 16 years he led his own startups venture and management consulting firm. And yet something was missing. The chronicles in this eye-opening book are part biography, part spirituality, with glimpses into the business of entrepreneurship, gambling, sex, love and marriage, and ultimately, self-enlightenment.
