Come join me to save the Vietnamese

Yesterday I got the chance to sit for 4 hours catching up with a colleague I'd worked with on the most successful product of both our lives. 10 years and we've met twice — I spoke about positive things with every wall in my spirit already torn down. I'm free.

I'm meeting you to invite you to come save the Vietnamese with me. Asking your help forces me to find many ways to convince you — I love convincing people. But I believe just this one point is enough:

I wish I could go back to March 2015 to convince my then-self to leave the company that wanted to change Vietnamese lives and go to the company that wanted to save Vietnamese lives.

I wish that in March 2015 the current me had appeared to pull that me out of the place destroying Vietnamese and into the place caring for Vietnamese.

Because the current me didn't appear then, I've had to wrestle with myself to build back up from a number only slightly above zero over these 9 years, to build myself really strong.

So that when the time comes, I don't need a future me to appear.
