Not all leadership journeys begin in boardrooms. Some start in the most unthinkable circumstances.

At just 18 months old, Steven Thai was stranded in the middle of the ocean with his family, fleeing Vietnam in search of safety. With no food, no water, and no way forward, time was running out - until a British cargo ship made a life saving decision. That moment of rescue didn’t just save his life. It shaped his entire mission.

Today, Steven runs Ocean King, working alongside his brothers to build a business that goes beyond profit—one that creates opportunities and enriches lives. In this episode, we talk about:

•⁠ ⁠The harrowing escape from Vietnam, and what it taught him about resilience.

•⁠ ⁠Building a business with family, and how he’s shaped his leadership style.

•⁠ ⁠Balancing hard work with purpose, and why he refuses to let his past define him.

•⁠ ⁠The mission behind his success, why giving back is at the heart of everything he does.

This is a story of survival, leadership, and what it means to turn gratitude into action.
