Autodesk's Asian ERG Hosts Heritage Month Speaker Lunch

Programming example

Simple session. Deep reflection. A simple lunch with meaningful conversations. Last week at Autodesk, I wasn't there to talk business. But before I even started… we all had a good laugh. 😂 Because thanks to AI 🤖 !!! The event poster featured a very polished, very handsome, slightly more "upgraded" version of me. Let's just say not all AI is accurate. And not all AI is supportive. 🤣 Some Autodesk employees were literally waiting to see when the "poster guy" would arrive… then it was announced: "Joshua is already here." Eyes on screen. Eyes on me. Back to screen. Back to me. Hahaha. Safe to say… the real-life version was slightly different. But honestly, it became the perfect icebreaker. So over lunch, beyond the laughs, I shared about my actual journey. The tougher growing up years. My father's story. The uncertainty. The struggles. The chapters before entrepreneurship. Because heritage isn't just culture. Sometimes, it's the difficult seasons, the family sacrifices and the life lessons that quietly shape who we become. Grateful to Jordan Ang for the invitation, and to the Autodesk team for being such a warm, fun, and engaging crowd. #AsianHeritageMonth #Autodesk #AI #Leadership #HumbleBeginnings #Gratitude
