In this episode, my guest, Jorge Rabaso shares his immigrant story.
Jorge was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and came to the United States in 1988 to improve himself, in pursuit of the American dream, with almost no money and little knowledge of the English language. In 1992 he started working as an Insurance Agent, and now he is the owner of Rabaso & Associates Insurance Advisors. For over 20 years, his company has assisted clients in evaluating their insurance options and selecting a rewarding and affordable path toward financial protection. Jorge founded Hispanic Business Network in 1998, which is a recognized association in Los Angeles, integrating Hispanic business professionals, most of them immigrants from different countries
Jorge wrote his book "12 llaves para Vivir Mejor y ser Más Exitoso" (12 Keys to Have a Successful Life) in which he explains how he, himself, converted from a frightened immigrant into a successful immigrant.
In this episode, Jorge and I discussed:
- His immigrant story and why he and his wife chose US to raise a mixed family
- What it was like adjusting to life in the US
- Life, food, and culture in Argentina
- Importance of having a community
- Challenges encountered over the years trying to assimilate with US culture
- The importance of learning the language of the country you choose to immigrate to
- On raising multicultural and multi-racial children
- Things he wishes he knew back then, but now know
- Advice for new immigrants and those aspiring to be one
