EP 420: Jessie Kanzer - Zelensky Through the Eyes of a Refugee

<div data-pm-slice="1 1 []" data-en-clipboard="true">Jessie Kanzer, author of '<em>Don’t Just Sit There, DO NOTHING'</em> and the newly released '<em>Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky', was</em> born in the Soviet Union as Asya Bronfman, a descendant of Holocaust survivors. As an 8-year-old refugee in the USA who only spoke Russian, Jessie (or “Asya” then) yearned to fit in, changing her name and much about herself. Experiencing depression and an eating disorder, Jessie pursued Hollywood fame, men, and the American Dream but always fell short. We discuss her refugee experience and her latest book on Volodymyr Zelensky. Kanzer’s writing has appeared in <em>The New York Times, USA Today,</em> and the <em>Washington</em> <em>Post</em>.</div> <div data-pm-slice="1 1 []" data-en-clipboard="true"> </div> <div data-pm-slice="1 1 []" data-en-clipboard="true"> <div><strong>LINKS</strong></div> <div> </div> <div>Books on Amazon</div> <div><a href="https://amzn.to/3Q58Sos" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky: Lessons We Can All Learn from an Unexpected Leader</a><br /> <a href="https://amzn.to/46E8UZG" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Don't Just Sit There, DO NOTHING: Healing, Chilling, and Living with the Tao Te Ching</a></div> <div> </div> <div>The Mojo Sessions website</div> <div><a href="https://www.themojosessions.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" rev="en_rl_none">www.themojosessions.com</a></div> <div> </div> <div>The Mojo Sessions on Patreon</div> <div><a href= "https://www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions?fan_landing=true" target= "_blank" rel="noopener" rev= "en_rl_none">www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions</a></div> <div>Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon.</div> <div> </div> <div>The Mojo Sessions on Facebook</div> <div><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener" rev= "en_rl_none">www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions</a></div> <div> </div> <div>Gary on LinkedIn</div> <div><a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle-hel
