Chris Truong on Dropping Out of College, Paving His Own Path, and Helping Others Along the Way

Update: 2021-07-06

Description

I only dreamed about dropping out of college, but my friend Chris actually pulled the trigger. As an Asian kid, dropping out of college is a BIG deal and even bigger deal to a 1st-gen Asian parent. But Chris stuck to his convictions and paved his own path even if it wasn’t the traditional route. He is now a very successful firefighter, podcaster, and simply one of the most hard-working people I know.
