In America I Was Regular. In the Muslim World I Had Access to Millionaires.

What this video covers

Then we moved to the Muslim world, and everything flipped. We found ourselves sitting with multimillionaires. In rooms we had no business being in as a common people. Meeting people we would never have gotten within a hundred feet of back home. And it wasn't because we suddenly got rich or famous. It was because of something we didn't even realize we were carrying. Tonight, we'll tell you the stories. The real ones. The meetings, the majlis, the connections that opened up once we left the West, and the thing that made them possible. Here's the lesson underneath it: people in the Muslim world already have a perception of Americans and the British. Right or wrong, that perception exists. And instead of being a burden the way it can feel back home, over here it can become a door-opener. The reputation gets you into the room. But understand me clearly.
