​In episode 32, we meet Min Chen, an entrepreneur who has lived the entrepreneur's life since she was 4, when her parents moved to migrate from China to Panama with only $800 in their pocket.
Min knows what it means to start over and then lose everything all over again, as it happened when the US invaded to Panama in 1989.
But her unstoppable hard work earned her a Fulbright scholarship to go to Carnegie Mellon and UC Berkeley, and eventually starting her startup, Wisy, which was incubated by Nasdaq.
Listen to this candid conversation on hardship, mindset, and how to navigate Silicon Valley when you feel like you don’t fit in.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
