    Hi Jewels, I assume you read these comments. Therefore, I'm leaving one. I just read an article about you on cnbc's website. I will try to watch your podcast in the near future but, full disclosure, haven't yet.
    Rather I'm writing to comment on how you felt in the USA and your move to Iceland. I live in Taiwan and while I'm white I feel the very same way about living outside vs inside of the USA. It is sad what's happened to the USA. The people of Taiwan are kind, welcoming, friendly and genuine and Taiwan is SAFE. I have no interest in ever leaving. I'm 62 and though we are clearly different we have found something very similar far away from where we lived much of our lives and thereforeshare something very important. Best of luck in your adventure and with the podcast! Robert Kahn 🙂 ❤
