immigrants

This episode contains strong language.

Jack Nicas, a technology reporter for The New York Times, moved to Oakland, Calif., five years ago. When he arrived, he set out to find a bar of choice. It quickly became the Hatch.

Unpretentious, cheap and relaxed, the Hatch was a successful small business until the coronavirus hit.

After the announcement in March that California would order bars and restaurants to shut down, Jack decided to follow the fortunes of the Hatch. Over six months, he charted the struggle to keep the tavern afloat and the hardship suffered by its staff.

“I can’t afford to be down in the dumps about it,” Louwenda Kachingwe, the Hatch’s owner, told Jack as he struggled to come up with ideas to keep the bar running during the shutdown. “I have to be proactive, because literally people are depending on it.”

Guest: Jack Nicas, a technology reporter for The Times.

For the remainder of this week, “The Daily” is revisiting episodes with people we met in the early weeks of the coronavirus pandemic to hear what has happened to them since our original conversations were aired.

One of the largest coronavirus outbreaks in the United States was inside the Smithfield pork factory in Sioux Falls, S.D. Today, we revisit our conversation with a worker at the plant, a refugee who survived civil war and malaria only to find her life and livelihood threatened anew — and ask her how she has been doing since. Guests: Caitlin Dickerson, who covers immigration for The New York Times, and Achut Deng, a Sudanese refugee who works for Smithfield.

• Refugees from around the world worked at the Smithfield pork factory. Then they faced mounting illness and the sudden loss of their jobs.

Two brothers, Javier Morales, 48, and Martin Morales, 39, died of coronavirus within hours of each other in their adopted home of New Jersey. Their last wish was to be buried at home in Mexico, but, to make that happen, their family must navigate the vast bureaucracies of two countries, international airfare and the complications of a pandemic. Guest:Annie Correal, an immigration reporter for The New York Times, spoke with Shaila and Melanie Cruz Morales, twin sisters from New Jersey who are the men’s nieces.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Money

There are so many other more interesting things you can do with your money than buy stuff

People have stuff because they want you to believe they are rich, smart, powerful and handsome.

You could use your money to start a business, grow a business, help a charity to get started, help someone else, start a business or buy land and give it to conservation.

My attitude towards money and wealth hasn’t changed over time.

I know a lot more now about life and business relationships, what I want to accomplish in my life and what I don’t want to waste my time on.

It’s important to recognise that lots of people don’t have money so if you do you have no right to squander it you should use it to build value and solve problems create jobs

You should try to move the ball down the field for other people.

Entrepreneurship

For years incremental thinking was enough but now things are moving so fast we need a total rethink to solve problems.

Don’t be afraid of failing because your ‘plan B’ will be better than your ‘plan A’

Your ‘plan B’ by definition will be more successful than your ‘plan A’  because you already know what not to do.

If you want to be an entrepreneur you can’t be afraid of what others think and say you’ve got to always be moving forward and never back.

Strength and weakness

In everything, the focus is on improving areas of weakness but the statistical data that suggests you can only make marginal improvements to your areas of weakness but you can improve in your areas of strength almost infinitely.

The system finds it easier to put everyone in the same box and this results in lots of people who look and sound the same.

Everyone is good at something and that something is what the individual should focus on not worrying about the things they are not good at and improvement can be almost infinite.

 The media

There are now so many content distributers it’s a content creators world but you have to be able to survive and make money.

It’s a fantastic new world for good content creators, if you follow a trend you can make money but if you follow a fad you’ll go broke.

A Total Rethink - Entrepreneurs should act like  revolutionaries  

There is a story that needs to be told.

The world has been operating with a basis of incremental change in business and in life since the industrial revolution but now everything is moving so fast we need to change the way we look at the problems.

A change in approach and thinking is necessary for the planet and also offers great opportunities for making money.

The book doesn’t solve all the problems but it highlights the big problems and highlights how I’ve solved similar problems with suggestions of how we could solve some of the global problems based on my personal experience.

Motivation

Why would you live an ordinary life when you don’t have to?

Money is not my motivation and I’m just getting started everything I’ve learnt up until this point is for what I’m going to do next and I haven’t yet done the big thing I’m meant to do.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It isn’t a political problem it’s a global problem and the business opportunity is in solving the problems’

‘People have to work out what makes them happy in life’

‘If they see a problem that they want to solve why would they not take a chance for  happiness’

‘The only equaliser between us all is time’

‘It's way easier to buy something than start something’

This keynote I did recently in Nashville at PRSM2018 focusing on retail, restaurants and facilities I think made a massive impact on the audience that was there. I talked about watching social media take its turn from being just "a thing that college kids used" and turning into something so big it had to be regulated by the government, and gave some tactical tips on why & how to produce content within these industries, and close it out with a fire Q&A session.

Neil deGrasse Tyson takes us through your favorite episodes of the season featuring Stephen Hawking, William Shatner, Adam Savage, Terry Crews, Fareed Zakaria, Bill Nye, and others as they explore the future, human augmentation, science fiction, and more.

Another great keynote here, spitting some fire for the capitalism conference. Here, I dive into the reasoning why I invested in Twitter, why I think it succeeded and the value of the platform. I also dive into self awareness, and how to scale things that you're good at, investing in your own strengths. I also expand on why I like to call myself a fire fighter with regards to Vaynermedia, which I thrive on. Hope you enjoy <3 

LOVED doing this rapid-fire, live interview style chat with CNBC while at the RISE Conference in Hong Kong. We covered everything from what I think I could have done more effectively in the past, to my current morning and life routines (when and how I consume my network's content), the most valuable skills that you need in life and a handful more. There's A LOT of amazing Q&A in here, so definitely give it a listen. I know you'll love it ;)

For those of you here that don't know, my family immigrated to the U.S. from Belarus when I was a young kid. The immigrant hustle is real and this talk will give the insight needed to understand what the struggle is like but also the advantages of being an immigrant. To me, being an immigrant is one of the fundamental reasons why I'm successful. Perspective is everything and this conversation definitely provides the perspective needed in order to make it, whether you're an immigrant or not. 

In 1945 a house fire took the lives of five children - except that no trace of their bodies was ever found. Dive into the longstanding mystery of the odd circumstances surrounding the disappearance of the Sodder children.
