Most people don't realize how much their personal information is being bought and sold every day. Data brokers are making billions, pulling details about you from public records and the internet, and then packaging and selling it, usually without your consent. That's how your information lands in the hands of scammers, spammers, even stalkers. It's why you get endless robocalls and why ads seem to follow you everywhere. That's where Aura comes in. Aura actively removes your data from broker sites and keeps it off. They also instantly alert you if your information shows up in a breach or on the dark web. But Aura goes beyond data protection. With one app, you get a VPN, antivirus, password manager, spam call protection, dark web monitoring and even up to $5 million in identity theft insurance, all backed by 24/7 U.S.-based fraud support. Other companies might sell just credit monitoring, or just a VPN. Aura gives you all of it, together, at the same price competitors charge for just one service. It's your free trial today at aura.com/remove. Protect yourself now at aura.com/remove. What's up, everybody? Welcome to another episode of Peace For Closes where we dive deep to the stories of industry leaders and innovators. Today, we have a special guest who has made a significant impact in the restaurant world. From blending Mexican, Brazilian and Asian flavors to creating a unique dining experience, he's the co-founder of a beloved restaurant chain that started right here in Costa Mesa, California and has grown internationally. He's not only a hyper-successful entrepreneur, he's also a dedicated community advocate supporting education, health and many different environmental causes. We're ready to be inspired by the incredible journey of Wing Lam, co-founder of Wahoo's Fishtockers. Great to be here, Joe. Always fun to tell the story of how an immigrant can do it, and so can you. I love it. I love it, Wing. We bonded on that. You know, both immigrants and both founders of different companies. You just happen to have a very, very successful internationally known company. It's just been such a blessing to know you, get to hang out with you on a couple of different occasions, and this is our first coffee date, so. Yes, it is. It kicks off well. I like to start to show off with all my guests with the same question, and that is, what is Wing Lam's morning routine? Morning routine. I wake up and I call it old dark hundred. These days includes walking the dog, you know, because they like to go out and pee before we go pee, right? But normally I'll either hit the gym or go surf, you know, or sometimes when I'm lucky, I have enough for, you know, time for both, and I can make sure I get home in time to make breakfast for my little guy Levi and either take him to this now in the year, when summer time I take him to the junior lifeguard, you know, camp, or I'll take him to school.
