Very well said, we have become a nation of promoters of mediocrity and "the world owes me a living because i am in it", and pulling down of anyone who tries to do more, make something of themselves. I find myself apologising for building a successful business. Its taken me 17 years of blood sweat and tears, but in today's NZ I am somehow in the wrong for having achieved it. Very sad state of affairs
As a young kiwi who ventured overseas, I resonate a lot with your insight & honest observations. The US is complicated, however, a trait I do admire is their collective ability to rally behind themselves and each other! That’s why I started my podcast Tall Poppy Talk, celebrating guests successes and aiming to shift the narrative around how we embrace each others (& our own!!) pride! would love to chat with you on this topic further, love your Mahi, thank you!
