[25:32]  Jimmy Thai's "Passion Meets Compassion" philosophy will inspire listeners to leverage their Toastmasters skills to improve the world around them. As a teenager, Jimmy fled his war-torn country of Vietnam and came to the United States. Adapting to a new language and new culture, Jimmy furthered his education, enrolled in an MBA program, and discovered Toastmasters. While enjoying a successful career, Jimmy never forgot the plight of the Vietnamese children who did not have the same educational opportunities he had. Using the leadership and communication skills that he learned in Toastmasters, Jimmy launched an initiative to help build schools for children in Vietnam.
