Tsunami. Exile. Heart Failure. She Built Anyway. | Parichat Namchoo | The Raz Patel Show | S1 EP4

A tsunami took everything she had. Exile took everything that was left. Then her heart failed. What she built after all three will stop you cold. Parichat — known as Katie — Namchoo grew up along the Mekong River in northeastern Thailand. She survived a tsunami, organized crime, exile and heart failure. Then she founded Siam Exclusive Gems — a business that bridges Thailand and America and uses every purchase to fund elephants and children in need. In this episode she sits down with Raz Patel to talk about what surviving the unsurvivable actually looks like, how trauma became the foundation of an entirely new identity, and what it means to build something beautiful from the pieces of everything you lost. She didn't rebuild despite everything she lost. She built because of it. ───────────────────────────── 🎙 THE RAZ PATEL SHOW Real, unfiltered conversations about resilience, leadership and living unapologetically.
