We'll see the path that we're heading and we'll seek to disrupt this bleak trajectory.

You got these people here, the Uyghurs, the Rohingya.
You got what's happening in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Brazil, South America, Africa, Ethiopia, Somalia.
It's so much and it can be overwhelming to a person who cares.
But you ultimately realize...
that the difference that you can make can become a much greater difference, even if it's after your lifetime.

For me, the most clarifying parts of the world are the refugee camps.
It's where I feel the most clarity in life about what I'm supposed to be doing in life.
