I lived through the time when working in my first job in Ann Arbor Michigan we had to get out a map to find out that San Jose was not only in Puerto Rico but there was a city with that same name in California. and there were no books, blogs or YouTube videos about entrepreneurship. 39 years ago I got on that plane and never went back.
