How we got “Smothered by Riches”

Do you know what Andrew Carnegie’s first job was?

Carnegie’s first job in 1848 was as a bobbin boy changing spools of thread in a cotton mill 12 hours a day, 6 days a week in a Pittsburgh cotton factory.

Do you know where Kash Patel came from?

He is the son of Pramod Patel, a Ugandan of Indian descent who was among those who faced ethnic persecution and were expelled by Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in 1972. They started a motel business.

So many wonderful stories about people with get-go chasing and catching the American Dream. Sorry to hear that these people put you off.
