I have no problem talking to anybody.
I talk to people all over the world.
No, I'm not.
My favorite business book?
Honestly, I've read so many books that it's really hard to say, but I really believe that the best book is actually the story of my family.
My grandfather actually left from Cuba in 1966 on a boat and escaped, hiding his two sons in the boat.
Landed in Mexico three days later after braving like 20 foot storms.
Took him 30 days to go from Cosmo, Mexico to Miami, Florida through this crazy trip.
Within one year, he started a business and then later turned it into one of the largest furniture retailers in the United States of America.
Uh, no, it's not.
I think they have a Spanish version that we have.
Uh, the main reason why I'm mentioning this story is because it's something that I, that I look at every day and I keep on reminding myself that you can struggle every day and you can start with nothing and you can still build, you know, an American dream.
And so when you look at that and you look at other stories and, you know, like Ray Croft, like McDonald's, how he was able to get that and turn it into a business.
You know, there's tons, there's really tons of books that I like.
The last business book I read?
The Richard Branson one.
I forgot the name of the book.
Yes.
Uh, holy darling.
And what's the business?
