Lin Wu fled China as a child during the Communist revolution, came to the U.S. at sixteen, and had to start over completely on his own—right down to working in a broom shop to afford school. He went on to study engineering, enter the computer industry, and help build some of the fastest computers of the era in the early days of Silicon Valley.

In this conversation, Lin shares the turning points that shaped his life: leaving everything behind at six, being dropped into America at sixteen with $600, navigating school and work, and building a career through focus, strategy, and persistence.
