Episode 11 - The Donut King with Ted Ngoy

In the late 90’s, Dunkin’ Donuts found it so hard to break into the Los Angeles donut market that they gave up. Why? Because of our guest today, Ted Ngoy, a Cambodian refugee also known as The Donut King. 

Ted Ngoy has opened over 70 donut shops in an effort to give Cambodian refugees a chance to earn a living and make it in America. At one point, his donut empire netted him over $20 million and a presidential award for achieving the American Dream from George H.W. Bush. 

Then, he lost everything. Listen in to this episode originally aired on the Faith Driven Entrepreneur podcast, as the king himself takes us through every up and down of his unbelievable story.
