    theCoderBros Learn Their Fractions

    Ha Nguyen is ready for some football, at least Wayne thinks she is. On top of being a big college football fan, she's won tens of thousands playing poker back in the day too. Alas, she decided not to play poker professionally and is now a fractional COO, helping a multitude of companies run their operations. From a last-minute escape from Vietnam at age 2 during the fall of Saigon, her life trajectory changed through the selflessness of a foster family who supported Ha's low-income upbringing to eventually attend some of the top schools in the world and finally find success in the business world.

Yes, you read that correctly, it's roller skating at skate parks and dropping into bowls!

    theCoderBros Go On Broadcast TV

    Marcella Lee, weeknight news anchor for CBS in San Diego and 24-time Emmy winner, is a nice person. Some have even said TOO nice. But listen to all the lives she's impacted from foster families to homes in wildfires and you'll see that being nice doesn't mean you won't succeed. In fact, it's a big reason why she did.

    theCoderBros Go To the Theatre

    Marie Yuen is living her White Castle life in Chicago where she's probably the one and only Asian playwright. Starting with an advertising career in Hong Kong, she started to find her calling after winning the South China Morning Post Short Story Competition there and came back to the US to start her life as a playwright. She's currently raising investments for her next play on a New York stage, Roxane of Bergerac, with an all-Asian cast and a new twist on an old classic. No numchucks included in the Cyrano de Bergerac fight scenes (unfortunately?).
