In the span of a few weeks, Marina's thriving study abroad program seemed to collapse alongside the Russian ruble. With the travel market disappearing overnight amidst the country's political conflict, it seems like this might be the end of Linguatrip. But don't tune out just yet. While this setback may have stopped another influencer, Marina Mogilko (Moh-gill-koh) is now a prominent entrepreneur and content creator with more than 9 million subscribers across her 3 YouTube channels. As founder of one of the first Russian-owned startups in Silicon Valley, Marina's videos provide a unique perspective on business, investment opportunities, and her immigrant journey.

Is English really for everyone? Not according to a YouTube channel named… English for Everyone. The creators of this channel have published a series of critical videos targeting the mistakes of another YouTube creator with millions of followers – Marina Mogilko. Marina, a non-native speaker, immigrant, and a very successful creator and entrepreneur is an example of what's possible when you use English to reach your dreams, and you don't let your mistakes hold you back. But apparently, this seems to really bother the 'English for Everyone' duo, who are on a mission to ‘expose' Marina and portray her as a fraud, DESPITE the immense value she brings to her audience. (The numbers speak for themselves, yo!) But it's not just Marina that they are targeting. It affects every non-native speaker who may one day dare to speak publicly. It's validating the worst thoughts almost every non-native speaker has. It's sending a message to non-native speakers that mistakes will cost them their dignity. In this video I want to share how problematic this approach is, the negative impact it has on the mindset of learners, and why we need to call people out on such behaviors so we can foster an environment that allows everyone to thrive. I also want to use this opportunity to show solidarity to my fellow non-native speaking teachers and say – WE NEED MORE OF YOU! WE NEED MORE NON-STANDARD ENGLISH VOICES IN THE ENGLISH TEACHING INDUSTRY. Don't let the grammar police and those who think that English belongs to them stop you from reaching your dreams, making an impact, motivating people, and driving students to take action in a positive way. Because at the end of the day, what REALLY counts, is that you dare to speak. And say what you think and want. And how you make others feel. And what DOESN'T count – is if you used ‘at' instead of ‘on'. I also want to use this opportunity to give a shoutout to my fellow non-native English-speaking creators teaching in English. You ROCK and you're making a difference!

Two common pieces of startup advice that get doled out are you need to be in Silicon Valley to start your startup, and you need to cater to customers in the US market. That’s a tall order considering the rising cost of housing, the war on tech talent, and a number of challenges facing immigrant entrepreneurs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SybHtHG6gcA). Plus it’s simply not true. There are a number of startups that are starting up and succeeding outside Silicon Valley (http://femgineer.com/2016/05/myths-overcome-idea-to-global-product/). To help debunk this myth and others, I’ve invited Marina Mogilko (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAQg09FkoobmLquNNoO4ulg) who is the co-founder of LinguaTrip (https://linguatrip.com/en/), an online marketplace that connects language learners around the world to language schools. What you’ll learn from Marina in this episode: - How Marina and her co-founder came up with the idea for LinguaTrip, and began it as an offline business. - How they transitioned from offline to online. - How they attracted customers outside the US. - Why they decided to hold off on coming to Silicon Valley, and how it benefited them in building a profitable business that wasn’t beholden to receiving investment.
