The Journey to New York

The speaker recounts their journey from Israel to New York, emphasizing the initial struggles of finding a job after serving in the military. Despite facing rejections and frustration, they found an opportunity in a small jazz bar, which turned out to be a pivotal moment in their life. Working in this bar helped them improve their conversational English through constant interaction with diverse customers and sharing stories. Despite the challenges, such as dealing with a thick accent and the aftermath of 9/11, this experience laid the foundation for their future endeavors in acting and coaching.
