Dear Body, Thank you. It’s a quiet Sunday evening, and my legs are still buzzing from the 70 km ride earlier today. Yesterday, they carried me through a 14 km run.

Have you ever hit a moment when you just wanted to give up? Your legs feel heavy, your heart is pounding, your brain is screaming, “That’s it. I’m done.” I’ve been there too. But what if I told you that in that exact moment, you were only using 40% of what you’re truly capable of? […]

Public speaking has always been one of those challenges that both excites and terrifies people at the same time. For me, it’s no different. About a year ago, I had the honor of stepping onto the red dot at TEDx in Buon Ma Thuot City, Vietnam. It was a dream come true — and one […]
