What does it take to rebuild your life from nothing—and then dedicate it to helping others thrive? In 1975, my dear friend and longtime client, Rosemary Tran Lauer, arrived in America as a single mother with two young children, no degree, and little English. What began as a fight to survive became a lifelong mission to give back.
Rosemary Tran Lauer is the founder of Devotion to Children, a nonprofit committed to early childhood education and care for families in need. She's also the founder of Tetra Global and author of Beggars or Angels, her memoir chronicling her journey from war-torn Vietnam to building a life of purpose, generosity, and faith in the U.S.
On this episode of Become Sensible, I sit down with Rosemary to talk about resilience, faith, and the power of purpose. We explore her journey from refugee to entrepreneur and founder of Devotion to Children, a nonprofit providing early childhood education and childcare to disadvantaged families. We also reflect on her 30-year journey of impact, her memoir Beggars or Angels, and how she continues to balance profit and purpose as the founder of Tetra Global.
Through every hardship, Rosemary reminds us that "devotion is an action, not a philosophy." Her story is a powerful testament to what love, grit, and service can build—and how one woman's courage can ripple out to change thousands of lives.
