Why I LOVE What I Do
“My appreciation of Van’s talents emerged long before I even met her. A colleague set high expectations – that Van was highly skilled, effective, and insightful. In-person, she is even more impressive. Van is unassuming, personable, and collaborative by nature. All this combined with deep expertise in digital marketing and a Ninja-like ability to get things done. The biohacking event where I met Van, after being graciously invited to speak, was exceptionally well organized, actively promoted (sold out), and smoothly run. We are honored to have Van working with us to get the word out about NanoVi devices.”

Vice President of Eng3 Corporation
“I’ve been lucky to know Van for over a decade and I’m constantly amazed at her continued growth and reinvention. She’s had first hand experience overcoming trauma, and through sheer determination and resilience she only strengthens after every hurdle. Just listening to her most recent podcast proves she’s passionate about what she does, and she conveys that passion in caring for others. A woman of great integrity, she desires to help people overcome their own trauma through healing and the workshops she curates. An empath who takes the time to nourish relationships so people can better understand themselves and refocus on their own purpose. I look forward to watching her soar.”

I also listened to the Project Markie Podcast where Van was interviewed and shared her inspirational journey and insights on transforming after adversity. Van motivates others to transform their businesses through coaching and biohacking and I highly recommend working with her and Revival You.”

Through her drive and leadership, she expanded the organization from an off-again-on-again meetup to a can’t-miss regular gathering that is always full of interesting people. She’s not just a great organizer: after recruiting top-notch speakers and arranging good venues, she gets to know each attendee, proactively connects people, and makes everyone welcome and eager to join her next event. I’ll want to check out anything Van organizes, even if it’s not my immediate interest, because I know she’ll put it together professionally and ensure everyone involved feels included.”

“Van, This is a person of incredible talents. The moment I met her I knew there was something extra special about her. First, we began to collaborate on putting a potential movie idea together. it was Van who said, "I have done this before for high profile clients and know how this process works. Let me go through my files and see who might be able to open doors for us . " Next, I approached her with a book idea, I was working on a Kindle books #Dogs and Roses# and her professional demeanor was impeccable. She began with prerequisite of my budget and then came her review. It was the way she framed her constructive feedback, it may have been difficult at the time to hear, but in the end it helped make my end product even better. Most companies will do a one two page review, she did quiet a bit more and it was if you were having a book editor review your work. If you want someone who will truly take cares of you and all of your needs you want Van Nguyen working on your behalf.”
