What was the next restaurant?
Before Hollywood, I was living in a van in Hawaii and waiting tables at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. One day, the incredible Rae Dawn Chong walked into the restaurant, and naturally, I went up to her table and said, “Hey, you’re a movie star! What are you doing here?”
She asked if I could act, and I said, “Fuck yeah, put me in your movie!”
She asked for my phone number. The only problem was I didn’t have one. So I gave her my buddy Mike’s number instead. A couple days later, Mike casually mentions, “Oh, by the way, someone called you.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME, MIKE?!
I called her back, and sure enough, she was serious. I drove over to pick up the script, went back to Mike’s house, and read all 120 pages three times in a row. First script I’d ever read. My character's name was Devon, and I remember thinking, “Sweet! I could totally play a Devon!”
I showed up to the audition with every line and inflection mapped out in pencil. Rae told me I could act and offered me the part. I asked if we were shooting in Hawaii. Nope. Los Angeles.
I had about $60 to my name, a bag of clothes, and some rollerblades.
Then Rae told me they'd fly me out. And I remember thinking right then and there, my life just changed forever. I'm going to be an actor.
That little movie was Cursed Part 3, a low-budget horror comedy that opened the door to Hollywood for me.
I'll forever be grateful to Rae for taking a chance on a kid working at a shrimp restaurant. Everybody starts somewhere, and this is where it all began for me.

A country run by banks will always be in debt
Healthcare run by Big Pharma will never cure disease
A state run by war will never know peace
A nation run by media will never know the truth

the united states needs crypto in a way that your average person has zero understanding of
proliferation of stablecoins and tokenized stocks extends US Dollar dominance & in turn increases net buyers of US Debt at scale in a way that cannot be easily replicated
your benefit of being here & understanding this is a massive advantage that you should not take lightly
Always remember, in a bull market it's best to maximize your leverage and take out loans, maximize your credit cards, and borrow money from friends, family, and also especially people you do not know.
Remember to maximize your leverage so much that you have absolutely zero room to be wrong because it's a bull market. There is absolutely zero way that you could ever possibly be wrong
This is your only chance to make it and the only way to make it is with the highest levels of leverage possible. Also forget about stop losses. That's for people who are scared. Scared money don't make no money.

🚨SOLANA CO-FOUNDER SAYS IT JUST CLEARED A BIG QUANTUM HURDLE!
Solana Labs co-founder @toly said the biggest post-quantum constraint is now gone. He said builders can put three PQC signers, each on a different scheme, into one multisig smart wallet and rotate the schemes as the implementations mature.
