Steve moved with his wife and two daughters to Stanford, Seattle, and then San Francisco Bay Area.

It was a huge pleasure to talk to Steve Reardon, a Durban boy who moved to America and obtained citizenship through a somewhat complex series of misadventures. His point about looking for pull factors of a possible new home rather than focusing on the push factors that are making you want to leave South Africa has stuck with me.  Although I don't see myself as a person who lives in America, I think Steve's positivity makes it feel far more relatable, and his insight into the living and working in the US is profound. If you have any questions after listening to this episode, Steve has said that he's happy to help if you look him up on LinkedIn.  Enjoy.
