Jacob (1:38)

I read your story, and I'll tell you why in a little while. It really frightens me. It concerns me a great deal because we're losing a whole generation. For anybody who doesn't know your story and the article that you wrote, you were a ticket scalper. You wanted to be a Hollywood writer. What happened?
Jacob (2:23)
Well, I moved out to Hollywood. Not to be a ticket scalper. I moved out to be a writer. First moved out, it was like 2011. There were actually a lot more opportunities than there were maybe five years later, even though the industry really expanded. I mean, the truth is I got into ticket scalping as a side hustle. I was SAT tutoring and I just got better and better at ticket scalping because I had no opportunities to make money screenwriting. So basically I tried and I tried and you end up sort of throwing your head against the wall. And obviously it's an industry where no one's guaranteed success. But the truth is, a couple of times in my career, I was brought into like various spaces and told we were about to give you this staff writing job and we can't because you're a white guy and we already have too many white guys on staff. And that was sort of the, you know, and then you spend another eight years banging your head against the wall and. Yeah, then you write a big article.
