And like, listen, you can come from any background, any upbringing.
You can come from poverty.
You can come from no parents, single parents, food stamps.

People always talk about privilege.
This is going to piss people off, but I don't care.
People always talk about privilege and privilege exists.
People always talk about, well, you had this kind of upbringing or you had this.
And it's all true.
Some people don't start from the same spot as other people.
But for every single person that complains and say, hey, listen, I didn't have a supportive family.
They had no money, whatever.
I can show you somebody who's worse off than you, who accomplished more than most people would ever think possible.
So I'm not saying that it's easy.
I'm not saying that privilege doesn't exist.
But the beautiful thing, especially in the U.S., is that it's possible.
There are some parts of the world where if you are born here, it is highly unlikely, if not impossible, to build something to get to over there, to become the first person in your family to make a ton of wealth or a ton of money and whatnot.
In the U.S., it is all possible.
But that's why I say like wherever you're at or whatever excuse you have, all the excuses are valid, but nobody cares at the end of the day.
