🌍 Welcome to The Passport Jane Podcast!
This is the incredible true story of Til, a Vietnamese refugee who escaped communist Vietnam with 35 other family members when she was just 11 years old.
At midnight, her father secretly loaded 36 people into the bottom of his fishing boat where they normally stored fish. After pretending to be a fisherman for 18 months to build relationships with guards, he made the ultimate decision – escape or live under communist rule forever.
What followed was 17 harrowing days at sea with storms so dangerous that her father told them they might need to tie themselves together to die as a family. But they survived, and Til’s journey from that terrified 11-year-old to successful entrepreneur will completely change how you think about resilience and the American Dream.
In this episode you will discover:
– How her family planned their escape for 2 years without anyone knowing
– The moment they were pushed out of the Philippines with no fuel, oil, food or water
– Working peeling shrimp for Red Lobster contractors until her fingers bled just to pay rent
– Making her first $5,000 real estate commission that changed everything
– Building a business helping hundreds of families buy homes without credit checks
– Her transformation at 50 when she decided to stop living for others
