Firstly, thanks for tuning in. I’ve done a fair few things in my life that involve me being on some sort of stage and as an entrepreneur you rely heavily on the endorsement of those around you... but never have I been quite so overwhelmed by the support of my friends and peers as in the build up and conclusion to this discussion. At any given moment there were over 1000 people on the call; when I hung up after the unfortunately convenient hour cut-off I had over 300 WhatsApp messages and 50ish on Instagram. You’re all amazing 🥺
-
While I appreciate Vishen and his team creating this opportunity for us to talk, I also apologise to those who tuned in and felt it was a wasted opportunity. I had requested and tried making a case for a moderator during the planning to no avail 😔 I dearly wish there’d been more science involved in this hour - I know it’s what most of you came for - but it was out of my hands. I told myself in the build-up that even if I felt like I was about to explode, the one rule of strong debating was not to interrupt anyone. I only faltered once.
As a result I, who was supposedly there to provide the insight and probing questions, did the minority of the talking. What was supposed to be an open discussion for the public instead turned into a parade parading as a debate. No data was shown and nothing about the claims regarding 10X was proved by the end of it. We live and we learn 🤷🏻♂️
-
As he suggested at the end of the call, Vishen has since confirmed we will have a follow-up call around the 18/19/20th at the same time 👍🏽 We’ve both agreed that the format and content needed working on and will be doing so for the next call.
-
It was disappointing, frustrating and concerning... but anyone who has had the displeasure of talking to me in a bar for hours knows I can’t do unfinished conversations.
Pop to the bathroom? I’ll have been thinking about it the whole time.
A friend comes to say hi? Soon as they leave: “So, as you were saying...” 😐
-
Same applies here. To be continued.

I would like to thank all my English speaking friends and supporters in the US and world abroad for all the support of the past 6-7 years. It’s been a tough journey and I appreciate everyone who messaged me words of encouragement and congratulations.
As most of my audience are Chinese speaking, I apologize for not always posting in English. I’ll try to be better about that in the future. Below is a my short race recap of my 3:58:54 record breaking performance that went down back in Taiwan.
Nervous international fights, dismantled and reassembled my bike 3 times, 14 days of quarantine in un air conditioned heat chamber LOL (Taiwan is kind of hot), and my best 70.3 half Ironman race ever, here we are! Enjoy.. thanks again
Last year at Elsinore 70.3 in Denmark I underestimated the race courses’s difficulty, thinking for such a flat course I can easily break 4 hours. The bike leg didn’t go well, but running off the bike, I did some quick math and thought a 1:15 half marathon will be enough. During that time I still wasn’t very confident of my own endurance and was petrified of bonking halfway through the run. Nervous to push during the run, I held back until the last 5k. When I entered the finishing chute I saw the clock and it started with 4....I knew I had failed.
I was very regretful of my mentality and attitude for that race. Ever since then every single training run I do where I start to feel my legs go weak and felt the same fear at Elsinore 70.3, I would stay calm, endure the pain, and keep moving forward at the limit.
After more than a year, I took the risky flight from pandemic hard hit California to my home country Taiwan and then quarantined for 14 days. Thankfully I made it to start line for Ironman Taiwan 70.3 safe and healthy. I told myself at that moment, do not waste this opportunity.
I knew I couldn’t keep up with Sam during the swim, but I was quietly confident in my form, after a whole year of band work and technique help from my wife, I didn’t get any jello arms through the swim and was able to push full gas.
After I got to the shore, I got on my trusty Giant trinity (the dragon that changes color) and started my most confident sport of cycling, chasing after Sam. The first lap my old injury in my left hip came back to haunt me so I stayed conservative, though still able to average 42 kph. Second lap my left hip warmed up and the pain went away so I went full gas, enjoying the nice rolling course averaging 45-50kph on the 11 highway along the coast. I passed by many other competitors who cheered me on giving me a lot of energy.
Getting off the bike, I felt really good and started off averaging 3:30/km. I thought to myself a 1:15 half marathon is definitely doable. As I passed Sam at 4km mark my pace kept dropping and heart rate kept climbing. All of a sudden the clouds went away and the sun came out to play. I thought crap, this is bad. Every aid station I would grab two cups to drink and two cups to pour on myself, not wanting to slow down to waste anymore time. Every kilometer my pace would drop by a second and by halfway I did the math and realized breaking 4 was not going to happen. I started to feel very depressed and wanting to cry. I thought about How I spent the whole year training for this one race, left my family and my wife at home for a whole month, quarantined for 2 weeks, what the hell am I doing? I snapped out of that and slapped myself mentally and said if I’m not going to break 4 hours today I’m going to at least run until I got nothing left to give myself some closure. I wanted to finish the race not breaking four hours knowing I did my very best and didn’t have it, and not because I was scared. I had blisters underneath my thumb toe nail and it was extremely painful but I carried on. I slogged
Through the last 10km and found myself back in the finishing area. A friend yelled you still have two minutes til 4 hours! I still had hope and accelerated like crazy. I crossed the finish line and couldn’t believe my eyes... 3:58:54
This is my most satisfying race ever. I realized you really can’t let off until the finish line, because anything can happen. This race was very special since I basically time trialed alone from start to finish. To break 4 hours, the Taiwanese nations record for 70.3, and to share the race course with Sam, the pro athlete that inspired me to chase my dream , I couldn’t be more grateful.

很高興被領導台灣/LeadForTaiwan思辨論壇,邀請到鳳山高中演說。
我分享幾點給年輕的同學
1.積極接觸 :在求學的階段,乃至進社會,不斷地接觸所有能夠接觸的團體,人、事、物。這一些累積,將會成為你未來重要的資源人脈。就算挫折,也將成為你未來成功的經驗。
2.反思: 在求學的階段,你可能會被不公平的對待,比方說我在高中在美國,就曾經遇過種族歧視。你必須反思,有一天你成為自己國家、或者自己熟悉領域的領導者時,你要怎麼領導。己所不欲,勿施於人。
3. 離開你的舒適區:離開自己熟悉的領域會很痛苦,但是這必須與我剛剛講的第一個原則符合,這樣才能夠拓展你可能的市場,你可能機會。
4. 檢查你的信箱:我常常會發覺到,我漏掉許多重要的信息,與各種不同的人合作,你必須要隨時確保你的訊息流通,不然你就會錯過許多重要的合作案。
5. 嘗試做新的事。不然你只是用另外一張年輕的臉孔講舊的事。
我發給到許多同學們,非常積極地詢問我一些問題,希望他們的這一股衝勁,可以在進入社會之後,還能保有。
非常榮幸能夠參與!

What an awesome energy!
This morning, I had the pleasure of delivering a keynote speech on #Leadership and #Innovation to a fantastic group of young leaders at the @LeadForTaiwan 領導臺灣 critical thinking workshop in Kaohsiung.
Founded in 2018, Lead for Taiwan provides outstanding high school students with an opportunity to learn outside of the classroom and cultivate their leadership potential. I deeply appreciate their work, as they instill confidence in the next generation of changemakers who will not be afraid to speak up and challenge the status quo.
Regardless of your age, it is quite easy to fall into the pitfall of perpetually reinforcing old patterns, simply because it is convenient and provides a sense of security and stability. Yet, real progress comes from creative discomfort. This is an important lesson I learned during my time in both, the local government and as an NGO leader. I am very encouraged to see that young people in Taiwan have the drive to step out of their comfort zone and embrace the idea of innovation.
My sincere thanks to Lead of Taiwan for including me in the conversation.

Too many big dreams, too many failures, too many disappointments despite all the achievements in life will give us at least a little impact even if we don't put it into our head.
For me, all of these disappointments gives me huge anxiety. I am always worried about my future. I am always unhappy though I have too many great projects to work with.
These projects that I am working on are my achievements yet I am still thinking about the things that I didn't achieve and adding more anxiety in my life.
I couldn't figure things out. Why on earth I am feeling like this? Is it me or am I really a loser who achieved nothing in life?
I started reading a lot as usual so I can gain some insights about myself.
What I found gave me temporary relief and it created a path to the permanent solution.
Gratitude.
I was working with amazing brands like Loreal, Shopee and Guardian yet I was so dissatisfied. It is because I wasn't being grateful for what happened.
I wasn't thanking the moment that happened to me. I knew long ago that I was lacking empathy. Gratitude too? Perplexed.
Then I took a second to myself and thought, "what on earth is gratitude? How on earth I do it?"
Well, honestly I am still working on my gratitude skills. Yet, I feel so much better than before and so much confident than ever.
Especially with the recession that is happening, I need my confidence the most right now.
How to show gratitude?
Things will go wrong cause somehow life is full of ups and downs. Rather than complaining and feeling low, you can start seeing the positivity behind each problem.
Lost your job? Maybe, this is the time for you to explore yourself and get a better opportunity in life. Be grateful that it happened.
Quarantined and bored? Maybe, this is the time to start the blog you was always talking about *Learn how to start a blog with me (One to one online class). Hehehehe.
Maybe it is time to start your novel? Maybe its time to start the online business that you have always dreamed off.
All the things that have happened in your life, be thankful and show them your gratitude. Say thanks for each small help you're getting. Start looking at the other side of a coin and appreciate it.
Believe that everything happens for a good reason and God will never give a challenge that you can't handle.
Your perception about a lot of things will change and you will start having only good energy around when you start seeing everything with a grateful mind.
Remember creating a positive vibe is important. Showing gratitude makes you have so much positive energy within you and it gives you the courage to move on in life with great strength.
