Those who impacted who I am today

In extension, I want to thank my parents – my father for being my greatest role model for maintaining integrity despite any hardship, and my mother for providing me a boundless flow of love and empathetic sophistication. I want to thank my wife Angel for offering constant support towards my career, my lifestyle, and my spiritual health. Even though we are very different, together we make each other stronger, more resilient, and of course cuter.

I want to thank Lwazi Mabuza for being my first best friend since my South Africa days and helping me seed my unique confidence from early on. It is a true blessing that, after twenty-two years of zero communication, we get to become friends again through the wonders of technology. I want to thank my cousin Winston Wang for not only protecting my health as an acupuncturist, but also always being there for me as my closest friend during my moments of emotional weaknesses.

I want to thank Ping-Hsiang...
