“I’m not a millionaire—maybe I will be one day. After one of my losses, a cousin messaged me. He sent a video of some of my family celebrating my defeat in the same place we struggled together 15 years ago.”
All I try to do is get better—not just for myself, but for everyone. I might not be able to help you directly, but I can build a well for the community.
People think because I’m in the US, I’m a millionaire. Someone will message me saying, ‘Send me $5,000.’ Where would I get that kind of money?”
