I Wish Everybody Was An Immigrant

Does that come a bit from being born in Barus, having Russian family? Russians aren't known for complaining much. You know, we're not far from Moscow, but they're known for just getting on with it. Also, you know, I'm an immigrant in this country, and I think it gives me an advantage. You were an immigrant in America. Does that kind of go hand in hand? 100%. I'm writing a book right now. I have three or four books that I'm writing in my head. That's how I write them. Uh called I Wish Everybody Was an Immigrant. It's a huge advantage. You're hungry. You get to appreciate it. you know, now you're an immigrant in UK from the US. Different in some ways because the US is such a great, you know, opportunity place, but boy, you know, still different. You get to see the UK London market for what all its value is versus what you had. It's amazing when you go to a different place very often. You went there for a reason. Thus, you're looking for the opportunity, right? You see the opportunity. You see the opportunities here that are different than what you saw in San Diego or any parts of the US. That's a little bit again a little bit different. Most people come from places that don't have as many opportunities and they can't even begin. I mean I have not talked to an immigrant that doesn't have some level of disdain andor disrespect for every American they know because they just know. They see it for what it is, which is holy crap. There is 87% of the rest of the world where you'd never have this chance. and probably 0% other place where it's so rewarded. I mean, it's so rewarded. Even with all the immigration and geopolitical issues at hand, still in America, if you come from another place, even though you're stealing our jobs and all the cliche stuff that the hate and the negativity that people are pushing, still if you go out and execute and win, America's like, you're a winner. It's really, you know, it's capitalism. So, um, yeah, I think it is a humongous advantage. My parents had no gear. My mom and dad had absolutely no uh no tolerance for complaining. Um they suffocated it in hindsight. As I sit here and like you can see I kind of looked over and like I'm thinking, yeah, like there was just like what are you talking about? Like there's just there was no opportunity for that. I really appreciate that. It's funny. I'm visceral to complaining and I think it comes from my parents.
