Will Smith X Chloe Lin

In partnership with

Arigato, dear investor,

I just got back from the 1 Billion Follower Summit in Dubai, and honestly…
before I went, I wasn’t expecting much.

After all, strategies are everywhere now.
You can learn content creation, business online.

I came mainly because a group of close friends wanted to go together, and I thought, why not, let’s just follow the flow.

But I never expected to walk away with so many deep reflections—not just about content creation, but about life and investing too.

There were many incredible creators and entrepreneurs at the summit, but I want to share three people who impacted me the most, and how their lessons reminded me so strongly of investing.

1. Vinh Giang — Success is built one step at a time

I first saw Vinh pop up on my feed about 3 years ago, teaching communication skills.

What most people don’t see is that before he became a creator superstar with 15M followers, he had already tried so many things:

• Creating short films

• Teaching communication on YouTube that nobody watched

• Posting consistently with very little traction

And now?
Millions watch him every day—and with that comes criticism, negativity, and hate comments.

Yet he showed us something powerful:

Success isn’t a straight line.
There are ups and downs every single day.

What really stayed with me was when he said on stage:

It belongs back to the person.

That hit me deeply.

Because I’ll be honest—I sometimes let negative comments make me doubt myself and the work I do.

But his reminder helped me realign:

• Take feedback from people who truly care

• Focus on giving value

• Keep improving, without letting noise distract you

💡 In investing, this matters even more.

Your friends or loved ones might say:

• “Investing is dangerous” (my dad used to tell me this)

• “The market is too high now, you should sell” (my mum still tells me this 😅)

They often mean well—but they may not have the experience or knowledge.

That’s why I choose to learn from people like Warren Buffett, instead of fear-based opinions.

Discern the source.
Whether in content, business, or investing—this skill changes everything.

2. Chris Do — Creation as personal development

Before the summit, I didn’t know much about Chris Do.

But friends who had gone through his programs kept telling me how transformational his work was.

On stage, he shared something that really made me pause:

Instead of chasing virality, views, and numbers,
see content creation as a form of personal development—while helping others along the way.

That hit close to home.

When I look back at my journey over the last 3 years:

• I started knowing nothing about content creation

• Then learned how to write, speak, and create videos

• Eventually built confidence—not just for myself, but for my audience

Through content, I grew as a person.
Every challenge forced me to become stronger, clearer, and more grounded.

💡 And investing is exactly the same.

Investing isn’t just about returns.
It’s a journey of:

• Emotional control

• Psychological stability

• Continuous learning

There will be moments you feel disappointed.
Moments you want to give up.

But if you keep learning, refining your mindset, and improving your skills—you will get there.

3. Will Smith — We are more similar than we think

I was genuinely shocked when Will Smith walked on stage.

Not only was I star-struck, but his message was incredibly heartfelt.

He recently traveled from the North Pole to the South Pole with National Geographic, and shared a story about encountering a spider—whose poison can also become an antidote used to heal illnesses.

Then he said something that quieted the entire room:

It reminded me of why I started investing in the first place.

I wanted to:

• Take care of my family

• Make sure my parents don’t have to worry about money as they age

And I know this is the same reason many of you started too.

Different backgrounds.
Different stories.
But very similar hopes.

That’s why I truly believe we grow faster together—by supporting, learning, and lifting each other up.

I’m deeply grateful to walk this journey with you, and I learn so much from you along the way too.

Thank you for trusting me.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your investing journey.
