Start here
I ran the startup. Now I'm running the edit.
I'm Wen — founder of SushiVid, accidental entrepreneur. For ten years I told the polished version of my story. This channel is the honest cut: what I believed, what actually happened, and what I only understood afterwards.
No frameworks. No five key takeaways. Just a founder going back over her own footage.
Season one
The Things I Was Wrong About
Every episode is one assumption I carried into my founder life, and the moment it met reality. They're discoveries, not lessons — I'm still inside some of them.

Wrong about: Success
I thought life would reward the plan
Beauty, marriage, career — I had the checklist. Life had other ideas.
- Coming soon
Wrong about: Time
I thought hard work ran on a schedule
Work hard, raise the round, exit. Nobody told me the clock was a liar.
- Coming soon
Wrong about: People
The dream kept getting smaller
I built SushiVid believing everyone was as hungry as me. They were not me.
