X Money just did something I’ve never experienced before. This morning I opened the app and watched my balance jump. For a second I thought “Wait, where did that come from?” 😂 Then I clicked into the activity. My creator revenue sharing payout had landed automatically. No waiting until...

At twenty-one I sold my first piece of software for seven figures. I thought that meant I made it. No parents. No guidance. No mentor. No understanding of money or taxes. Just a kid staring at a million-dollar check, convinced life had finally changed. And the moment that money hit, my family suddenly “found” me. They told me everything I had wanted to hear. That they cared. That they wanted to be in my life again. And I believed them. So I helped. I bought homes. Cars. Paid for school. Loaned money. Because I thought they were there for me. Then I did what any kid with no financial literacy would do. I bought myself a house. A boat. A car. I thought I was set. Then reality hit harder than any loss before it. Nobody had ever taught me about taxes. And when the tax bill came, it took almost everything that was left. What taxes did not take, the people around me did. And the moment the money ran out, every person who reappeared disappeared again. That year taught me two truths that shaped my entire career. Money does not change who you are. It exposes who everyone else is. And success means nothing if you do not have the discipline to protect it. I lost almost everything. But I gained something far more important. A sense of reality. A sense of responsibility. An understanding of what it actually takes to become the kind of person who can keep success instead of stumbling into it. It was a painful lesson. But the founder I became was created by that loss.

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

So... he almost gave up? 🐼:Actually, I’m a lot like Pond. I’m someone who really loves going to concerts. Many fans probably know that, and my friends definitely do. I have to admit that there were many times when I would watch a concert and think to myself, “One day, I want to be on that stage and perform for everyone.” And today, that day has come. It’s a strange feeling. It’s like a dream I’ve been chasing since I was a child. When the day comes that it actually happens, it’s such a strange feeling because I don’t even know how to explain it to the people in front of me. But one thing I do know is that I feel incredibly lucky to have everyone here watching me. This is a profession, something I never thought I would actually do. Honestly, I always thought it would just be a dream because I’ve always tried to live in the real world. I knew that the chance to have an opportunity like this in the real world is… 00000000,1% of the population. So I focused on studying. I planned out my life what I wanted to do, how I would live and this was just a hobby. My friends know me well; I told them this back in my first year of university. Everyone knows me as a GMMTV artist and actor, with some work here and there. And everyone asked me, "Why are you worrying about this?" With confidence, I replied, “I’m studying because when I graduate, I’ll stop doing this and get a proper job maybe in a bank, a firm, or an IT company.” One thing my parents have always told me since I started in the entertainment industry is: "If you really want to do this, why not take it seriously? Don’t just do it for fun. If you want to do it for real, plan it. Think about what you want to do, and how to do it well." I had always refused… until one day, in my third year, I was sitting in a friend’s condo while they were writing their résumé to apply for jobs just preparing a portfolio so they’d have work after graduation. Then my friend asked me, "Hey, have you started your CV yet?" Okay… now I had to get serious. I opened my own schedule, and what I saw was… strange. Looking at it, I realized, “Wow… I’ve been doing this without even realizing it.” My schedule, from the 1st to the 31st of August, was almost fully booked. For the first time, I thought to myself, “Maybe I can actually do this… all the way, even when I’m old.” And from that day in 2023 until today, in 2025, I am truly grateful to everyone for giving me the opportunity to do this as a real profession, to chase my dreams for real, and to actually make them happen.

Aaron Paul says his Breaking Bad audition was so bad he apologized and thought his chances were over. But creator Vince Gilligan recognized him from an episode of The X-Files, a moment that helped save his audition and earn him the role of Jesse Pinkman “When I got Breaking Bad, I was at the lowest point in my career, just in terms of finances. I didn’t know where my next check was gonna come and how I was gonna pay my bills” “I walked into that audition and Vince was very excited that I had done an episode of The X-Files. He asked me what episode did I do. I said, ‘Lord of the Flies,’ and he started laughing. He said, ‘You did the role Sky Commander Winky. That was my nickname in college.’ And that just broke the ice. It just felt like Vince was already in my corner before I even started” “The pressure was on. A roomful of people, stadium seating, and you have to prove yourself. I do it, and that's the audition you see me, apologizing. Like, Oh my God, I just fucked this up” “So I walk out, and I'm just biting my nails. I'm desperate. I really have no money. It wasn't that I was in love with the material. I also had to have this happen. The casting came out and brought me back in, and Vince was in the hall and wanted to have a talk with me. And that right there, I was like, okay, he's still in my corner. He just gave me some advice and I went back in, did my audition again” “They didn't let me know for two weeks. The reason why they took two weeks is because, honestly, no one wanted me other than Vince. Finally, he said, this is the guy I want. He made it happen. Thank God”
