Inspiring Conversations with Edwin Hong of MERCHCONNECT/GOTHAMGSO/TRIADMEDIA STUDIOS/IMPACT ASIAN AMERICANS OF NC

Today we’d like to introduce you to Edwin Hong

Edwin, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I started as a young curious under-qualified broke kid trying to figure some shit out. Now, I am not so young, still under-qualified, and still broke relative to my accomplishment, but most importantly still curious. Curious to see if I can reach my goals. Curious to learn more information to help the under-qualified thing. I’ve made progress but still a long ways to go. Stay curious friends.

Hell naw but no road will be smooth going up. only road smooth is going straight or down.
