Everything changed.
Okay, but why?
You're skipping over this.
But why?
Because I'm amazing.
No, no, no, but you can't just say because I'm amazing.
So here's the pivot moment.
I walk into one meeting, like every audition, and the crazy thing is auditioning, you never know what you're going to get.
You can get a feature film one day, a commercial the next day.
You walk in, and there's a pen on the desk, and a camera just like this one, and it said, sell me this pen.
My first thought was, I don't sell anything.
I hate money.
I'm not in retail.
I looked at the camera, and I said, funny thing about pens.
I was 15 1⁄2 when I went off to college.
I was really insecure.
My mother, God bless her, would write me longhand notes with a pen just like this.
I would race to read them to feel comfortable, and I realized a pen like this can reach out and touch somebody's heart.
Jake of Body by Jake comes out from behind this camera.
