I landed in Silicon Valley and I still remember the first outing with my mom, she was explaining to me what the sign "Now Hiring" meant in Portuguese. I remember being so excited, because I saw "Now Hiring" everywhere that I went. In Brazil, we don't get these many opportunities.

After buying a music player with my first paycheck, I was pretty frugal and decided to start saving up.

And the reason that they loved me was that I was just working.Sign up for our newsletter at www.montecarlorei.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/best-commercial-retail-real-estate-investing-advice-ever/support
