This is the Legend Of...

Everyone has a story to tell. A story of ups and downs, highs and lows, triumphs and trials. Across all walks of life, across all professions, everyone has the potential to become a legend. But many of these stories are never told. The lessons and ideas learned from these life experiences are often never brought to the forefront of public attention. As a result, these lessons and ideas are often forgotten. How does one bring forward such lessons and ideas? How does one bring forth a true legend?

Join Amos Vang, a Canadian lawyer, broadcaster, and podcaster, as he tells and features the untold real-life stories of professionals and people from all walks of life. From the sciences to the arts, from humanities to law, and from everything in between, Amos features the fascinating stories of how experts, leaders, and hard-working professionals have excelled in their individual careers and life pursuits, and Amos highlights the important lessons that everyone can learn from, no matter the age.

Real-life stories, timeless lessons, rising legends. Find them all here on "This is the Legend Of...".
