Yes.

I don't know if we knew back then like what YouTube would become, but I'm really in a way like grateful that YouTube exists because I don't know if you heard this a lot growing up, but I sure did where I was like, how do I become an actress?

And I'm like, now you guys like you actually have so much more power than I did.

I had to commute to a room.

Yes.

Present myself like hope that they would like me enough to give me a chance and then hope that that would like open doors.

It just it's such a different process now.

Yeah, absolutely.

Also, you can become a success by being authentically you.

Totally.

Instead of trying to put yourself into the mold of a character or something that somebody else wants that like we're all craving more authenticity and seeing more of it.

And so, yeah, the power kids have today.

Yes.

That we just couldn't have even dreamed of.

Do you still keep in touch with Fred?

I haven't talked to him in years.

I was actually, yeah, I didn't even, I'm sure he's doing well.

I think he probably was like, I'm good with this.

Like I made my money young.

I'm going to go live my life.
