A Conversation About Being An Immigrant

Gary Vaynerchuk
About this episode

For those of you here that don't know, my family immigrated to the U.S. from Belarus when I was a young kid. The immigrant hustle is real and this talk will give the insight needed to understand what the struggle is like but also the advantages of being an immigrant. To me, being an immigrant is one of the fundamental reasons why I'm successful. Perspective is everything and this conversation definitely provides the perspective needed in order to make it, whether you're an immigrant or not.
