MY STORY

The Joeyngoy.com blog opened its lunchbox in 2008 and never focused specifically on food and travel at the beginning. As I started to travel more for work and distanced myself from friends and family, my photo-blogging became a life tracker for everyone to find out what I was doing (or more like eating, hehe) and where I was in the world.

And now here I am, eating, sleeping, talking and breathing everything about the food world. I love to take my experiences and share them with you.

I am a proud Cambodian American entrepreneur with a passion for building successful brands and businesses. My family immigrated to the United States after the killing fields in Cambodia in the 1980s, and for the past 20 years, I have built companies in various industries, including electronics, home entertainment, apparel, and toys and novelty. I have a track record of developing successful products and marketing campaigns, and have even created merchandise and apparel lines for celebrities such as Conor McGregor and Paris Hilton through my manufacturing companies.

I am the co-founder and creator of the #1 retro video game brand, Retro-Bit, and the #1 distributor for video games and peripherals in North America, Innex, Inc. In addition to my work in the gaming industry, I have also successfully developed and marketed restaurants and other businesses. I am proud to be an alumni of the INC 500/5000 list, which recognizes the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States. I have achieved this recognition five times throughout my career, with only 4% of private companies ever making the list.

Currently, I am focused on building a hot sauce lifestyle tech brand based on my business partners’ family recipes, as well as the first retro game studio in Web3. This game studio combines elements of nostalgic gameplay, AI design technology, successful co-op features, and e-sports community building elements.

My life mission, fueled by my entrepreneurial successes, is to educate and incubate web3 enthusiasts in Southeast Asia and beyond. To achieve this, I am building the first web3 school location in Cambodia. My goal is to educate, mentor, coach, and influence at least 1 million individuals by 2033. By providing proper mentorship and education, we can help other companies in the web3 space discover talent pools efficiently and develop additional resources for the future. I am passionate about the potential of Web3 and believe it has the power to shape the future in meaningful and positive ways. My education and incubation hub is designed to inspire and empower others to get involved in this exciting space and make a positive impact through their work.

I am always ready to take on the next adventure and use my experience and network of resources to make a positive impact in the world. I am driven by start-up creativity and am always looking for ways to change an industry or build platforms that organically create opportunity for people and shape the future. Throughout my career, I have been guided by my values and the mentorship I have received. I am ready to continue making a difference in the world.
