He also studied at 42, which is most likely why he got picked for the internship to begin with. I don't get this self-congratulating BS, guy says he toured the world (good luck doing that with a shitty passport) and was named king of a village in Ghana (right..). I guess people who get lucky have to always go to great lengths to justify and spin that.
