And I introduced myself as this Bolivian, super smart.
I really want to make it in Brazil.
I hear you're doing a dinner.
I'd love to come by if you'll have me.

He's like, Martin, we're only hiring one person and it's not going to be a guy from Bolivia that doesn't speak Portuguese.
So no, you can't come to my dinner.
I was like, bummer.
So that night I show up to the dinner, introduce myself as Martin.
And I say, don't worry, I'm not even going to eat.
I just want to listen to you because I find you interesting.
And I think he was taken aback.
By my boldness, they did interview me and they did hire me, but they made one condition.
I had to take some Portuguese lessons before I showed up three months later.
And I said, I'm happy to do it as long as you pay for them.
Yeah.
And that's how I met my wife.
She's your teacher.
She was my teacher.
I mean, she was technically a teacher.
