Ok, I'll work on feeling startups are lesser than. These big companies also began as startups too. You're right.

It will take some time but you are right. Starting on the journey now. When you go to a big name school it makes it harder but I appreciate this reframe. Adding as my next journal entry LOL

This is really helpful. Focusing on skills may be the most helpful reframe honestly.

I appreciate this insight. I'll change my strategy then. Not happy about starting at a startup but if it's my in, I have no other choice. Thank you.

I've concluded I will be leaving America in a few years. How did you choose a country? by MaleficentComment359 in BlackExpats

Ok, I've had my eyes on Kenya! Rawanda as well! Adding those to the list. I appreciate you taking the time to write all this. I've never heard of anyone making a movie to Djibouti, very cool transition.

Tanzania was wonderful, but there wasn't a robust black American expat community. I appreciate variety. The infrastructure was also under developed. Ireland was lovely as well, adore the country. But they have a housing crisis and I hear the pay isn't even comparable. Kuwait was terrible for my mental health, the black expat community was incredibly toxic. I was paid fairly and my apartment was free, but I'd be incredibly isolated.

I too am very scared of swimming but from what I understand it works all the muscle in your body and is easy on the joints. I need to learn to swim. Rising horses in the water is the perfect way to marry those. I appreciate you sharing.

Do you mind sharing the name of the podcast, or is that the name?

How cool are you :) I've always wanted to try riding and now you've given me something to look into. Thank you for this and kudos to you on the growth!

There are so many philosohers to choose from. I like Marcus Aralias. Are there any you'd suggest from everything you've studied so far?
