    Wow, a very interesting interview on tenacity and the beauty of never giving up. Especially love the line "Smuggling shouldn’t exist: there should be just open markets." Thanks so much for sharing!

    Hello Vinay,
    Thank you for posting this very interesting and inspirational article. Proof that you can't keep a good entrepreneur down.

    "So practically every year we have some tornado, hail, flood or drought, but it’s all part of the business. But I can tell you, the worst risk is government interference!" Hmmm... climate change... er um weather, is less of an obstacle to prosperity than the government. Some things are universal.

    Respectfully,
    O.A.

    Men like this don't seem to question whether or not they can do it, they just go and do it.

    Yes, comrade citizens, the people of Argentina love their country so much that they give 108% to spread the wealth around. Let us humbly ask our glorious Chairman-In-Chief to point that out in one of his speeches.

    Wonderful to see a successful Libertarian in a country with such a mind set of collectivism. Argentina is a beautiful place, but the people love government.

    Very interesting interview. I especially was intrigued with the bold way he began his career, starting a commodity trading business. and that it was wiped out 4 years later by a tornado!
