From the war-torn streets of Vietnam to the bustling breakfast counters of Jimmy's Egg, Ban Nguyen's journey is one of grit, heart, and the unshakable power of family. In this heartfelt memoir, Nguyen recounts his escape as a young refugee, his coming-of-age in Oklahoma, and the unexpected path that led him to become the CEO of a beloved restaurant chain. Brimming with humor, wisdom, and hard-won insights, Swinging and Slinging celebrates the American dream-and the countless swings it takes to make it real.
Part personal journey, part masterclass in resilience, this memoir explores how grit, humor, and a problem-solving spirit can turn even the toughest challenges into stepping stones. Ban proves that courage isn't about avoiding risk-it's about showing up anyway.
For anyone who's ever faced a detour on the road to their dreams, Swinging and Slinging is your permission to rewrite the map.
