This is the Legend Of...
Everyone has a story to tell. Every story has the potential to become a legend. A story of ups and downs, highs and lows, triumphs and trials. Across all walks of life, across all professions, everyone has the potential to become a legend. But many of these stories are never told. The lessons and ideas learned from these life experiences are often never brought to the forefront of public attention. As a result, these lessons and ideas are often forgotten. How does one bring forward such lessons and ideas? How does one bring forth a true legend? Join Amos Vang, a Canadian lawyer, broadcaster, and podcaster, as he tells and features the untold real-life stories of professionals and people from all walks of life. From the sciences to the arts, from humanities to law, and from everything in between, Amos features the fascinating stories of how experts, leaders, and hard-working professionals have excelled in their individual careers and life pursuits, and Amos highlights the important lessons that everyone can learn from, no matter the age. Real-life stories, timeless lessons, rising legends. Find them all here on ”This is the Legend Of...”.

At 8 years old, Kerson Leong ((梁喬信) won his first national music competition, and then won the next 4 consecutive national music competitions at 9, 10, 11, and 12 years old.
At 13 years old, he won 1st prize at the International Yehudi Menuhin Competition (the Olympics/Paralympics of violin). To this day, NO OTHER CANADIAN has achieved this feat (the closest was Scott St. John’s 3rd place finish in 1985).
At 13 years old, King Harald V of Norway personally congratulated him on his 1st prize win.
Before the age of 22, he has performed for 2 Canadian prime ministers, 2 Canadian governor generals, King Harald V of Norway, and one Italian president.
At 24 years old, in the Toronto Star, Jonathan Crow (concertmaster for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra) described Kerson as “one of THE greatest violinists, period.”
Join Amos Vang as he interviews his maternal cousin, Kerson Leong, on his incredible career. In this 3-hour interview, the cousins talk about Kerson’s career, their respective experiences in the Canadian Music Competition (Kerson in violin, and Amos in piano), the difference between good musicians and great musicians, their experiences on mastering musicality, and how Canada can catch up with the rest of the world in terms of classical music appreciation.
謝謝, 喬信.
3:55 for the interview (though, I highly recommend that you stay for the entire introduction).

Join Amos Vang as he interviews his paternal cousin, Ben Wong, managing director of Moelis Australia!
In just his late teens and early 20s, Ben went from being a Bachelor of Commerce student to becoming a Vice President at JP Morgan, the world's largest investment bank. Soon after, Ben would work with legendary Wall Street investment banker Ken Moelis in co-founding Moelis Australia. Since then, Ben has been a managing director at Moelis for almost 15 years, and Ben and his team have advised on over $100 billion worth of transactions, including the American media company CBS's purchase of Ten Network in Australia.
P.S.: In Chinese culture (oversimplified), paternal cousins are classified as siblings (specifically when their respective fathers are brothers).
