    well done Eric! great to read your insights and understand how you went about doing things, also kudos that the portfolio is based in capital cities, way to mitigate risk! hoping to catch up at one of the meetups this year :)

    Thanks Jennifer....would love to do it...but have some concerns around impact at work...and not feeding the trolls...and some other privacy concerns. :) Sorry....:(

    @Eric Wu @cherubym @bobbyj @hash_investor thanks for the interest....:D

    Happy to discuss what I have done at one of the meet-ups...just not comfortable by going public...like what @fols mentions....

    Perhaps one day....when I get braver....

    Well done @Eric Wu. You're a champion and an inspiration to many. You beat the great odds to get to where you are today - where most will never reach. Full respect to you.

    Eric, well done mate.

    Your faith and perseverance is starting to pay off in a big way, from the recent article I have read.

    Hopefully you can also help some of the people on this forum in avoiding any "How can this go to crap?" errors with your experience so far.

    Reference to an old Oral B Toothpaste add - "Rob is a Dentist so we cannot show his face". Clearly Sash doesn't want his/her identity revealed either, though dentistry has nothing to do with it ;)
