A couple of personal anecdotes:
When I took a VC internship in the Philippines during the summer, one of the big pop stars was an American Filipino. We had a convo at the bar he owned—turns out he was a SoCal boy like me, and got tired of going to school at Devry, so he moved to the motherland and got famous.
When I visited Norway for the first time, I saw a girl whose presence really floored me. As she was leaving the club, I followed her out. Turns out she was a pop star as well, and liked me for my American-ness.
I think with the right presence, it’s not as hard as one might think if you’re from an OECD country.
- bitcoinmoney 7y agoWhat’s the name of the first pop start who owned the bar?
- mogadsheu 7y agoI forget his name, but the bar was Rock Candy in Glorietta. His face was plastered on a billboard advertising cell service. Really kind guy.
