[Energy and Capital logo] How Willie Brown Turned $150 into $8 Million [Jeff Siegel Photo] By [Jeff Siegel]( Written Oct. 31, 2019 I got the bad news on Wednesday morning... John Witherspoon, one of the funniest men on the planet, went gently into that good night. The 77-year-old comedian, who started his comedy career in the 1960s, is probably best known for his role as Willie Brown in the movie Friday: an unapologetic, working-class father who had no social filter and a heart of gold. He provided valuable life lessons for his kids while reminding us how funny dads can be, even when they’re not really trying to be funny. My favorite scene in Friday is the one when he comes out of the bathroom and gives a vital warning to his family: [witherspoon] Mark Your Calendar: November 13, 2019 That’s the day everything will change... A stunning new technology will be announced... It’s already garnered the interest — and investment — of billionaires like Larry Ellison, Peter Thiel, and Jeff Bezos. Some of the largest institutions on the planet are in, too... - Fidelity - Blackrock - Vanguard - JP Morgan You owe it to yourself to at least take a look... The course of human history will once again shift. This is your chance to make a mint in the process.

It wasn’t work-related, and I wasn’t attending some fancy Hollywood party. I was simply standing in line at a drug store in Los Angeles when I turned around and saw him standing behind me. It was one of the few times in my life when I legitimately felt starstruck. So I reached out my hand to shake his, and told him that I really loved his work. His response is one I’ll never forget: Oh thank you, son. What ya got there? Rubbers? I need the big ones, myself. I busted out laughing, and so did all the other folks waiting in line. Some people have to work really hard to be funny. And some are just naturally funny, with perfect timing all the time. But I’m not writing about John Witherspoon today to tell you how amazingly gifted and talented he was. I’m writing about John Witherspoon today because this comedic legend once said something that every investor should take to heart.

[If you don’t believe me, watch this.]( Get That Money! Earlier this year, John Witherspoon appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast. As a side note, if you get a chance, definitely check out the interview. It’s one of the most hilarious things you’ll ever hear. Anyway, during the interview, Witherspoon explained how he first came to Los Angeles to do comedy. He knew there was some money in it, so he bought a beat-up old Mustang for $150 and drove it all the way to California. Apparently, he had to stop every 200 miles to refill the oil and transmission fluid. Rogan laughed, but without missing a beat, Witherspoon said: I was determined to get me some of that money! John Witherspoon eventually became a millionaire, so clearly that $150 car was a great investment. With a net worth of about $8 million, Witherspoon was clearly successful in getting that money. I love it! And let’s face it: You’re here today, too, to make that money. Otherwise you wouldn’t be a member of Energy and Capital. Of course, these daily emails are just the tip of the iceberg.
