I didn’t grow up with money. No rich parents, no safety net, no backup plan.At 18, I left home, studied on scholarships, and learned how to survive on my own.Years later, while living in France, I decided to take control of my finances — and that changed everything.This episode is my story of how I started from zero and built financial stability without coming from wealth.I’ll share how I started investing, what I learned about money, and the mindset that helped me go from fear to freedom.It’s not financial advice — just real lessons from someone who had to figure it out alone.📍 Topics I talk about:– Growing up without money– Moving abroad and starting over– Learning to invest as an immigrant– Building financial discipline– Why “safe” isn’t always smart– My rules for financial stability💬 Do you invest? Or do you want to start? Tell me in the comments — I’d love to know how many of us are building from zero.#finance #investing #selfmade #immigrant #wealth

I didn’t become fluent in French from school. I didn’t learn it from textbooks or grammar tables. I learned it by living it.In this video, I break down exactly how I went from struggling in a classroom in Moscow to living, studying, and thriving in France — in fluent French.

I’ll share:

– why academic French didn’t prepare me for real life

– how I fell in love with the sound and culture of French

– what actually worked (and what failed)

– why immersion matters

— even if you’re not in France

– how love, mistakes, and necessity made all the difference

learning languages changed my life — not because I’m talented,
but because I had to learn them to survive in new countries.

so in this video, I finally explain how I actually learned
Russian, English, French, Uzbek and bits of Persian/Turkish —
without rich parents, without courses,
and without “perfect grammar.”

this isn’t theory. it’s the real way I picked up languages —
by listening, copying people, talking to myself,
and learning from real moments, not textbooks.

if you’re learning a language right now,
I hope this helps you see that you don’t need to be gifted —
you just need the right way to approach it.

watch, take what works for you,
and tell me in the comments which language you’re learning.

you are not alone in this.

Speaking several languages changed my income, my identity, my confidence — everything.
Not because I’m talented, but because languages are the BEST investment you can ever make.

I’m sharing my real story:
growing up with Russian, Uzbek, some Farsi…
learning English and French from scratch…
and how languages built my entire career, salary, and confidence as an immigrant.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn another language — this episode will show you why it’s worth it.

People think living abroad means you’ve made it.They see the Eiffel Tower, the cafés, the “new life.”But they don’t see the visa rejections, the homesickness, the fear of starting over.This is my story — four years in France, after being born in Central Asia and growing up in Russia.It’s about what it really feels like to rebuild your life from zero.About the strength it takes to carry a weak passport,to pay $200 for a visa just to get told no,to prove your worth again and again in a system that was never built for you.But it’s also about pride.Because if you’ve done all that, you’re not weak — you’re built different.You’re stronger, more adaptable, and more resilient than most people will ever understand.So if you’re an immigrant, a foreigner, someone who left everything behind —this is for you.
