If anyone is wondering Nolan Hubbard went on to make two movies with Corbin Bernsen and is now a cruise ship musician.
a lot of luck helped along the way. if cintas dude hadn't seen the shirt, he wouldn't have a house
Typical Joe Biden loving gun banning clown!

Great story
He said it half the way , it is all about publicity and fame somehow , people wanted to be part of it and it was not luck more than a new interesting thing going on and people wanting to be part of it , like that famous person who gave him one of his snowmobiles and the town who gave him the house cause they wanted some publicity and the actor who gave them this publicity was driven by the same desire , maybe others wanted to encourage him but the turning point was when fame and publicity got involved.
But the idea is interesting anyway , maybe you can try it but start with something that has a real value then think of things that will be traded super fast like a phone maybe or an apliance
Thank you for sharing your story. Was wondering what category on CL you started your trading on thanks?
