033. I Rejected Med School For A Tech Startup. 12 Years Later, My Family Discovered My Net Worth At Lunar New Year

What happens when your family cuts you off for following your dreams? What if twelve years later, they discover you didn't just survive—you thrived beyond their wildest imagination?
I'm Victoria Chen, and this is the story of how I went from a basement suite in East Vancouver to building a $2.3 billion tech company, all while my family thought I was struggling and too ashamed to come home. When my cousin accidentally revealed my success at our Lunar New Year reunion, everything changed.
In this video, I share:
The painful moment my immigrant parents gave me an ultimatum: medical school or lose their support
How I survived the brutal early years building NexaTech with just $5,000 in savings
The shocking discovery scene when my family realized I was on Forbes' billionaire list
Why I chose to hide my success for over a decade, and what it taught me about validation
The complicated journey of rebuilding relationships with family who doubted you
Lessons on choosing yourself, setting boundaries, and turning pain into purpose
This isn't just a revenge story—it's about understanding that your family's fears don't have to become your ceiling, and that sometimes you have to lose people to find yourself.
