What Did Guillermo Rauch Grow Up Believing About Creators?

Guillermo Rauch grew up with the constant idea that everyone who creates something has a hidden agenda, and that no one builds something to make the world better or more beautiful. Argentina was a lot worse: people would think that anyone who succeeds had some kind of arrangement, and that corruption was the only reason they were there.

When news of funding came out, he started to go more viral in Argentina. He and his wife tried not to read the comments on an Instagram story because they can be demoralizing. One story went viral with everyone convinced he was a rich kid from Argentina. People are now realizing he came from a very poor neighborhood, where his dad one time got kidnapped when someone tried to rob his car and steal his car. It was a pretty bad place, with some decent people in it too.

He thinks the culture in Argentina is changing a lot for the better, and he understands more of his own original story. People still expect the worst or poke holes because they cannot believe the magic that can happen, even after 10 years of work and relentless dedication. A suspension of disbelief is necessary: optimism and positivity in how you interpret the story.
