Ted Ngoy arrived in California with the American Dream in his heart. He started from the bottom and worked his way up. He soon desired to open his own donut shop. Then things were thriving. The proclaimed 'Donut King' taught his family how to build and sustain a business. Somewhere along the line, things shifted. He lost everything and had to start from scratch. Listen in to the wisdom of the man that revolutionized sweet treats in America.

About Ted Ngoy: A survivor of the Cambodian civil war and one-time friend of American presidents and senators, Ted Ngoy is a savvy businessman who changed the face of two countries and brought hope to his people. In his new memoir, The Donut King: The Rags to Riches Story of a Poor Immigrant Who Changed the World, Ngoy shares his fascinating rise and fall—not one, but three separate times.

Arriving from Southeast Asia to Southern California penniless with his wife and small children, Ngoy immediately set out to find a job, working at the church sponsoring his family’s stay and as a gas station attendant. After a stint at Winchell’s, a donut shop across the street from the gas station, Ngoy became determined to open his own donut shop. Less than a decade later he owned dozens of them. Ngoy was a multimillionaire at the helm of an empire of independent donut shops, earning himself the title, “The Donut King.”

Then his unparalleled success came to a screeching halt. Plagued with an addiction to gambling, Ngoy’s ritual trips to Las Vegas left him penniless and homeless. However, his story is one of survival and steadfast spirit, fostering his tenacious fortitude as he navigated the seemingly cyclical road from poor to rich.
