Worth Knowing With Micah Jesse

There’s much more to dance champion Valentin Chmerkovskiy than people know, and he wants everyone to know his story in his first book, “I'll Never Change My Name: An Immigrant's American Dream from Ukraine to the USA to Dancing with the Stars”. The book details his family’s immigration from Ukraine to the United States and the courageous and inspiring road it took to get to Dancing With The Stars. He tells me it’s a memoir, but it’s funny, not “serious.” In this episode, I sit down with “Val” to talk about everything from podcasting (he tells me he has his own space in his house) to Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee) to fatherhood and what he wants his legacy to be. This episode is an absolute *must listen* if you’ve ever wanted to know more about Val, who is certainly well-known but, more importantly, worth knowing.
