A short monologue (from a May 23, 2024 YouTube upload) in which the speaker challenges limited local perceptions of career options—"farmer, mill, construction"—and questions the idea that ownership or wealth is "not for people like us." The speaker contrasts that view with personal acquaintance of generous, driven wealthy people and urges rethinking assumptions about who can succeed.
Where I come from, you're either a farmer, you work in the mill, or you do construction. That's it. And I always ask my dad, why don't we own the construction company? Why don't we own the farm? Why don't we own the mill? Are you kidding me? That's not for people like us. People like us? What's that mean? And then someone drives by in a nice Corvette, and they would mutter words. Who'd they screw to get that? I don't know about you guys, but I know a lot of wealthy people. And they're pretty amazing people. The people I work with, huge givers. They'll do anything for you. They're hungry, they're growing, they're expanding.
