Really enjoyed this one, Stephen! I find it valuable, and thought-provoking, to read about stories like Majif. I also enjoy the super successful, mega-rich stories (doesn't any American?) but I found the relatability of this to resonate with me in a different way.

Interesting article! So let me share some thoughts: I can relate to Majid. He probably continues to drive for Uber because, like many of us average folks, we like to work, and we feel useful that way. Myself, I continue to teach private music students. I don't need to... I do it because I feel useful and appreciated. It keeps me grounded.
