Real Estate Talk Show Chat
I love connecting and in front of a camera was something else! I had a fun time talking with Mindy Luong and Charles Swanberg about my life and what drove me into real estate and CCIM.
Presenting to CCIM
An unblemished video, an eager videographer, and how I like to keep this video around to remind me of the importance of perspective as the golden era is always seen as the present looking back. I look back fondly and forward excited.
Not Afraid to Show Up
Supporting international business in my home country of Vietnam. I got to meet and link up with many great people. A favorite game I Iike to play is find someone I can introduce to a new person; it's called Blind Connection.
