I was quite fresh when I first joined Mekong, empty of prejudices and assumptions about investments and leadership. My initial lessons leant at Mekong were tough and heated, and from time to time, I would feel like myself being a fish getting burn. Back then, Chris, my mentor, was direct and straightforward, so he would say things to my face in a way that could not be more direct. After those direct feedback, he would let those sink in on me, gave some challenges for me to conquer, and checked in from time to time. Yes, my mentor was a good cook for me. He knew exactly when I needed the heat, and when I needed the cool-down. And thanks to all that, I was able to absorb a lot of new insights about investments and leadership throughout my journey at Mekong.
