How Sacrifice Paves the Way to Greatness
(at Right Shift — Year One)
I never started with the dream of becoming "a co-founder."
I wasn't trying to build a famous team.
Or create something the world would remember.

I just felt that...
it was time for someone
to give up their own space —
so others could run.
In a world where everyone fights for the spotlight,
I believed true greatness
doesn’t come from climbing the highest.
It comes from stepping back...
just enough for someone else
to fully become who they’re meant to be.
And that...
is how Right Shift was born.
It didn’t begin with a business plan.
There was no marketing strategy, no fancy vision or roadmap.
There were just a few people
who felt —
there had to be a better way to move forward together.
(A fictional story... but closer to the truth than you might think.)
On a quiet morning in 2022,
at an ordinary café,
an ordinary conversation sparked something... extraordinary.
There was Aun (Somnuk),
a man with a bag full of beautifully chaotic ideas,
squeezing his way in as the unexpected third pillar,
on a secret mission:
"Make sure this thing doesn’t die in a chat group."
He teased his way toward me — Jakk —
someone who hated leaving things hanging more than anything.
And then... Bo.
A woman nobody in the Bitcoin market knew back then,
but whose heart was anything but ordinary.
And most importantly...
there was Tum (Piriya),
someone who stood quietly,
carrying more faith in what we were building than any words could show.
That day, there were no plans.
No team name.
No talk of business.
Just...
a belief —
that if someone truly started something real,
the world would change.
And so we began...
not knowing what lay ahead.
Starting is easy.
Carrying it forward...
is another story.
We acted like kids playing a game.
Laughing, dreaming, building ideas.
But behind the scenes, unseen —
it was endless work.
Work with no glamour,
no credit,
no applause.
While a few names stood under the lights,
a quieter group carried the weight behind the curtains.
Bo was always there.
Not as someone’s wife.
Not as an executive.
She was there as...
someone who chose to do the boring things —
so others could do the exciting ones.
I saw her wipe sweat from her forehead when new projects launched.
I saw her taking on the tasks no one else wanted.
I saw her become the bridge that linked our hands —
never once asking for applause.
Just like a friend once joked:
"How can there be a great show... if no one lifts the piano?"
We were playing the music,
but someone was carrying the stage behind us.
And that’s when I began to truly understand —
greatness doesn’t live under the spotlight.
It hides quietly
in the sacrifices that let others go further.
Nothing real is ever built
without paying some kind of price.
On the path of Right Shift,
we had to face our own shadows more than once.
Someone felt they weren’t important enough.
Someone wished they were recognized.
Someone watched friends move forward
and couldn’t help but compare.
And I understood.
All of it.
We were climbing a mountain together.
Some carried ropes.
Some carried water.
Not everyone would make it into the summit photo.
It’s easy to forget...
no one conquers anything alone.
I chose to answer those feelings — not with speeches —
but by standing beside them.
I didn’t say things like, "Don’t feel bad."
I simply showed them:
I would step back too.
If someone had to stay behind...
I would stay with them.
I turned down the spotlight whenever I could.
I pushed every success forward to others.
I stood in the corners, unseen,
lifting from behind.
Because I believe —
if you truly want to build a team,
you must be willing to give more
than you expect to get back.
Right Shift wasn't built on competition for the spotlight.
It was built on lifting each other up.
Again and again.
Sometimes, the hands pushing from the shadows
never hear applause.
But they —
they are the real heroes.
Stepping back...
is never easy.
Everyone wants to move forward.
Everyone wants to be seen,
to prove they matter.
But here at Right Shift,
we chose differently.
We stand behind —
so someone else can move forward.
I had to learn that too.
It’s not easy,
especially on days when you know you could do it better —
but you still choose to let someone else shine.
Tum did the same.
Aun understood it well too.
We each learned to lower ourselves,
to create space for others to rise.
There’s no scoreboard for who carried more.
No question of who deserved more credit.
Because if you waste time chasing "fairness"
you will never build anything truly great.
In the end...
the success of a friend
is our success too.
And that...
is what Jakk Goodday has always believed.
The Silent Sacrifices —
no one needs to know.
No one needs to say thanks.
Just seeing our team go further
is more than enough.
Today,
Right Shift might not be a name everyone remembers yet.
We might not look grand from the outside.
But inside our hearts,
we know —
we are building something
far more real than fame.
We didn’t come here to compete for attention.
We came...
to build something we dreamed of, together.
With sacrifice.
With silence.
With patience.
With the belief
that goodness —
doesn't need applause.
"Sometimes, the ones who light the way...
choose to stay in the shadows."
