From Curiosity to Legacy: Ha Nguyen's Global Journey of Great Work

In this inspiring conversation, Amanda sits down with Ha Nguyen, a global storyteller, entrepreneur, and Chief Growth Officer at Leaders Square. Ha shares his remarkable journey from growing up in rural Vietnam to studying in the United States, returning home against all advice, and building a life dedicated to connection, wisdom, and impact.

In this episode, they explore:

  • How a desire to inspire during the pandemic sparked over 1,200 interviews across 83 countries.
  • The life lessons drawn from leaders, record-breakers, and everyday change-makers.
  • Why knowing your strengths and weaknesses is the foundation for meaningful contribution.
  • The importance of acting now instead of waiting for the “right time.”
  • How his latest platform, Hello Newness, encourages people to embrace fresh opportunities.

Along the way, Ha tells moving stories about his family, his commitment to legacy, and a special book project that led to building a small church in his mother’s childhood village, with the help of a moonwalker. If you’ve ever wondered how to transform curiosity into action and impact, this episode will leave you ready to start.
