Items, places, and people discussed during the interview. Please click on the links for clarification and context.  Douglas Wong is a serial entrepreneur from Long Beach, CA who ended up in the then Czechoslovakia in 1990, after backpacking through Europe. Like many he liked Prague, started out teaching English, got a corporate job, started a family, and eventually founded different companies. Now, he advises many young entrepreneurs and startups who want to leave their mark in the world.  Certainly, Douglas describes his road to success as a rollercoaster ride which he kindly discusses in this episode. I look forward to reading his upcoming memoir, and this is one of the two initial episodes of this podcast, and I hope you enjoy it. https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglas-wong-85202128/ (Douglas Wong - LinkedIn) http://www.blackfire.eu (Blackfire) https://magic.wizards.com/en (Magic The Gathering)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE_CBPhd2do (President George H.
