Raised by Entrepreneurs: How 3 Siblings Built Businesses of Their Own

What happens when you grow up in a family business, watching your parents work 12–15 hour days, six days a week, to build something from the ground up?

For siblings Minh, Khanh, and Amy, entrepreneurship wasn’t something they discovered later in life—it was something they grew up watching every day.

In this episode of Only Finance with Verus Financial, Minh,sits down with his sisters Khanh, Real Estate Attorney at Vo|Pham Law Firm, and Amy, owner of AALVO Laser Cut & Design Studio, for a candid conversation about growing up in a first-generation entrepreneurial family and eventually building businesses of their own.

They talk about watching their parents build a successful restaurant with limited English and no prior restaurant experience, the work ethic that came from seeing them sacrifice day after day, and the mindset of simply learning to “do it tired” and keep going.

The conversation also gets real about the parts of entrepreneurship nobody puts on Instagram: rejection, long hours, doing everything yourself, learning to delegate, uncomfortable decisions, and realizing that being your own boss doesn't necessarily mean having more free time.

They share lessons they've learned along the way, including why rejection isn't always personal, why your offer may need to change, how uncomfortable growth can be, and why building the right team means finding people who complement your strengths rather than simply looking for people like you.

From experimenting with menus in their parents' restaurant to innovating in law, real estate, and design, the siblings discuss how the entrepreneurial mindset they learned as kids continues to influence the way they build businesses today.

If you grew up around a family business, are a first-generation American, or have ever wondered what entrepreneurship really looks like behind the scenes, this episode is for you.

No highlight reel. No overnight success story. Just three siblings talking honestly about family, sacrifice, rejection, resilience, and building something of their own.
