Chan shared a turning point in Wong Fu Productions' journey to illustrate this lesson. After graduating, he and his partners Philip and Ted couldn't simply make videos for fun anymore. They entered the real world and had to rely on shooting wedding videos and nightclub events to pay the bills — a period Chan described honestly as 'not the best time for Wong Fu Productions.' The breakthrough came unexpectedly: they featured a T-shirt Chan had designed in a short video, and both the video and the shirt went viral. From that accident, they established an online store and their own clothing brand, which finally gave them the financial freedom to create original content. Chan used the Iron Man analogy to drive the point home: when Tony Stark found shrapnel in his chest, he didn't give up — he adapted, built the arc reactor, and became something greater.
