Comrades: My father Yuri Sr. escaped the tyranny of Communism and the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

In Part 1 of How To Live the Dream, I published a written interview with him about his childhood during the cultural revolution and transition to freedom in the USA. Many of you requested more content with him - you ask, Yuri delivers. In today’s podcast, we go deeper into those stories accompanied by treasured family photos. We laughed, we cried, we ripped on Communists. Hope you can join the fun!

All new paid subscriptions will go towards a birthday gift for him. If y’all submit enough questions in the comments, we’ll do another podcast where he answers them.
