Twenty-Two Years in Communist Prisons

March 21, 2019

There are few occasions in life where you get the opportunity to meet a real hero. For us here at FEE, this week was one of those rare occasions. We had the utmost pleasure of interviewing Dr. Doan Viet Hoat at FEE headquarters in Atlanta, GA.

Dr. Doan Viet Hoat spent 20 years in communist prisons in Vietnam for the unforgivable crime of loving liberty and being connected to American Universities. His wife Thuc also spent two years in prison for nothing more than trying to bring attention to her husband’s case. Dr. Hoat explained his story, gave advice, articulated lessons learned, and answered a few questions from FEE staff regarding his remarkable triumph through prison and his burning passion for liberty.

Listen to this exceptional story of character, persistence, and belief in freedom on this episode of FEE Audio XP.

How We Thrive

“How We Thrive” is a docuseries profiling inspiring stories female entrepreneurs and the impact their businesses have made on the world. From one of the world’s more prolific acoustic instrument companies, to a Senegalese entrepreneur trying to combat the poverty image, to a pioneer in the health care industry who built a half a billion dollar company as a female CEO in Texas in the 1970s, to a pair of women cutting their way through miles of conflicting rules in the legal marijuana industry in Colorado - each episode follows the creation and growth of a specific company, the trials and tribulations experienced, and the knowledge gained - with the hopes of inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs.

We chose women who not only do business well, despite all of the roadblocks: funding, regulation, competitive markets, but women who are passionate about what they do - women who are striving to make a difference.
