Every single thing that Europeans are enjoying about America right now, the countless videos they are making praising America are all the fruits of capitalism.

Not a single thing they are praising us on is the result of socialism or communism, yet you tards on the left wanna turn us into a communist country. Make it make sense….

She was 17, working as a Hooters waitress in Jacksonville, Florida, when the cooks walked out. She didn't know how to deep fry chicken tenders or fries. She went back to the kitchen and figured it out.

Two years later, Hooters asked her to fly to Australia to help open the first franchise there. She'd never been on a plane. She didn't have a passport.

She got the passport and went.

By 26, she was a vice president. She helped grow Hooters from 100 locations to over 500 in 33 countries and from $300 million to $1 billion in revenue. She never finished her undergraduate degree.

At 32, Cinnabon recruited her to be president. She was the youngest CEO to ever appear on Undercover Boss. Under her leadership, Cinnabon added 200 bakeries, expanded to 56 countries, and approached $1 billion in annual sales through partnerships with Taco Bell, Burger King, and grocery stores.

She grew up on a $10-a-week grocery budget. Three sisters. Single mom who left their alcoholic father when Kat was nine. The family survived on her mother's determination and multiple jobs.

"Every year on my birthday card, my mom writes: 'Don't forget where you came from, but don't you dare ever let it solely define you.'"

Kat was the first person in her family to attend college. She enrolled in an engineering program at the University of North Florida but dropped out to pursue her career at Hooters. She later earned her MBA from Georgia State University without a bachelor's degree, getting accepted through letters of recommendation from business leaders including Ted Turner.

After Cinnabon, she became Group President of Focus Brands (Cinnabon, Auntie Anne's, Moe's, Carvel, Schlotzsky's). Then in 2021, AG1 (formerly Athletic Greens) recruited her after the founder heard her on a podcast. She became President and COO, then CEO in 2024.

She's known for a practice she calls the "hotshot rule": every month, she asks herself, "If a hotshot took over my job today, what's the first thing they'd fix that I've been tolerating?"

Here's what Kat Cole's story makes me think about.

She said yes before she was ready. Every major career leap, from the kitchen walkout to Australia to Cinnabon to AG1, happened because she said yes to something she wasn't qualified for yet and then figured it out in real time. "Saying yes before you are ready is only half of it. You have to use your hustle muscle to close the gap."

Most people wait until they feel ready. They wait for the degree, the experience, the credentials, the confidence. Kat built one of the most impressive corporate careers of her generation by saying yes first and learning second. Every single time.

I think about that in my own work. I've never felt fully ready to start any of the businesses I've built. The readiness came after the commitment, not before it.

Kat Cole was a Hooters waitress at 17. Cooks walked out. She went to the kitchen and figured it out. Never been on a plane. Flew to Australia to open a franchise. VP at 26. Cinnabon president at 32. $10-a-week grocery budget growing up. First in her family to attend college. Dropped out. Got an MBA without a bachelor's. Now CEO of AG1.

"Saying yes before you are ready is only half of it. You have to use your hustle muscle to close the gap."

What are you waiting to feel ready for that you should just say yes to?

Europeans coming to America for the World Cup are finding out that everything they're being told about this country is completely false!

[CoolGuy400 @GilbertKitching]

Yup

[CoolGuy400 @GilbertKitching]

Yup

Heh

Something good is happening at this World Cup.

The Scots turned up. The English turned up. The Norwegians turned up. They sang their songs, got stuck in, and the Americans loved them for it. Glasgow and Boston are getting twinned off the back of it.

For 30 years we’ve been told to view the US as some sort of Great Satan — all imperialism and orange-man clichés. Not everyone buys it of course, but enough do.

And then Europeans actually go, and find a place that feels familiar. Makes sense to them. A bit richer, a bit further ahead, but recognisably ours. Settled by Europeans, still deeply European in its bones.

There’s a gathering-of-the-clans feeling to it. Old neighbours discovering they still like the same songs, the same drink, the same daft humour, and genuinely enjoying each other’s company.

None of it’s a surprise, really. It’s just been buried under so much politics that we forgot we were allowed to enjoy it.

Good to be reminded.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump says NO MORE SOMALIANS in the USA. He's DONE.

"Their country STINKS! They contribute NOTHING." 💯

"I don't want 'em, to be honest. OK? Some say, that's not politically correct. I DON'T CARE. I don't want them in our country. Their country's no good for a reason!"

"I'm understanding Somalians ripped Minnesota that place for BILLIONS of dollars! And they contribute NOTHING. The welfare's like 88%!"

"I always watch [Ilhan Omar] complain about our Constitution, how she's treated 'badly,' or it's a bad place, hates Jewish people, hate's everybody. She's a TERRIBLE person."

"I watch what's happening in Minnesota, the land of a thousand lakes? This beautiful place, I see these people RIPPING it off."

[Cynthia Holt @Ghostofcynthia]

Evil scum, every last one of them. If we cannot get them put in prison then I want thier legacy's completely destroyed.

So that 200 years from now when children read about them they will think of them in the same breath as Joseph Stalin and Benedict Arnold.

Absolute fucking trash.

President Trump has been in the the political arena over 16 years and you morons still haven't figured out that he could give a flying fuck about what any of you assholes say about him.

[Cynthia Holt @Ghostofcynthia]

Hey Big Mike, @MichelleObama you commie Marxist America hating POS!

Illegals are NOT Americans.

They are fucking criminals who broke into our country and must be deported.

Every last damn one of them.

Stop trying to gaslight the American people and destroy this nation with your bullshit.

Go fuck yourself, cunt.
