Meet Yaro Starak At Dot Com Pho

written by John Chow on May 5, 2008

How one lazy bum made $176,697.50

I just got the word that Yaro Starak of Entrepreneurs-Journey will be joining us for this week’s Dot Com Pho. While I like the say that Yaro flew all the way to Vancouver just to have pho with us, that’s not the case. He’s here on some other business.

The timing works out pretty well for me because this upcoming Dot Com Pho will be the last one I can attend this month. Next Tuesday, I’m off to Shanghai for the first leg of a month long trip to Asia. I’m sure the Dot Com crew will continue to do Pho while I’m away. Stephen Fung, Michael Kwan and Ed Lau will be meeting up in Taipei with Sarah and me on June 1. At that point, we’ll probably be doing Dot Com Taiwan Noodles.

Dot Com Pho starts this Saturday at 12:30. If you wish to attend, please contact myself or one of the other pho regulars so we can save you a seat. This will probably be your one and only chance to meet with me and Yaro at the same time.

Am I the first blogger to comment here? What a surprise..!

Wow, how amazing to see Yaro and other blogger. In Jogja, my lovely hometown, there’s a blog competition and bloggers gathering this week. Meet senior blogger, then learn from them.

Michael Kwan May 5, 2008 at 5:02 pm

It’s nice to hear that Yaro will be coming. I left a comment on his blog inviting him to come. Glad that worked out.

Well, your comments pull a lot of weight Mr. Kwan. :grin:

John Chow May 5, 2008 at 8:37 pm

When Kwan speaks, bloggers listen! :twisted:

Michael Kwan May 5, 2008 at 9:40 pm

(Let’s put that to the test.)

Hey John, I think you should give me the entirety of the John Chow dot Com income for May 2008. It would be a prudent business decision. :razz:

John Chow May 5, 2008 at 11:02 pm

I said they listen. I didn’t say they do what you recommend. :twisted:

BTW Would you please listen to me – You are on Asia tour -Please come to India – We blogger would really appreciate it if you could please award us a visit here. Please.

I always wanted to visit john chow in canada I hope once my blog takes off I will get the chance to visit the dot com pho

It’ll be very hard to me to go to Vancouver now. I’m short of money now, maybe in the next opportunity I’ll go to the Dot Com Pho.

One of these days I hope to make it to Dot Com Pho. Closest I’ve been is Seattle.

Flimjo May 6, 2008 at 7:54 am

Yea, I wish I could go. It seems like a great networking activity, and when people like Yaro go to it, it’s a valuable experience.

Paolo U May 5, 2008 at 7:51 pm

I never heard of him until now.

Affiliate17 May 5, 2008 at 7:56 pm

Very interesting

Lyn Leckie-Matassa May 5, 2008 at 8:17 pm

I would love to attend the dot com pho. Its a bit hard as I’m in Australia! My next holiday I might have to go to Canada.

Mike May 5, 2008 at 8:38 pm

Are you going to any other cities in China? How long will you be in Shanghai for?

Yaro May 5, 2008 at 10:57 pm

Now let’s hope I can find the place :-)

John Chow May 5, 2008 at 11:03 pm

It’s not hard to find. Right across the street from the Richmond city hall.

Sha May 5, 2008 at 11:14 pm

Have fun in Shanghai for the rest of us that can’t go!

DAILYMACHO! May 6, 2008 at 3:05 am
