      he didn't create shit, he's repackaged a cheap product, that was a rip-off of another product, branded it as Shamwow and sold it at inflated margins. He did create Shamwow brand, but since it was never been a brand in a significant way, talking about formative powers here is akin talking about creating a turd every morning on the toilet. The guy is awesome show, and probably good businesman, I'll give him that

    I got septic sick in highschool to the point that I homeschooled for auto immune issues and it took a couple extra years to finish.
    Whilst doing that I became an infomercial specialist and memorization girl during my nightly homework.

    I ended up in College taking, you guessed it, … digital production and editing.

    I knew him in the mid 90s when I worked in Hollywood. He hung around artists like a remora fish, was totally crude and vulgar and a jerk, and seemed to pride himself on being repulsive. His attorney sent me a notification that I was going to be sued over something, I let him know he (very obviously) had completely the wrong person (I had zero idea what he was even talking about is my dim recollection of it) and his response was a personal written letter saying "oh my bad" basically. It was beyond weird. I never called him friend and avoided him. That I even made it onto his radar made me feel vaguely dirty.

During that time, I got to know him, even though I didn't want to. It wasn't about one mistake. That was just an odd anecdote of the only time I ever really interacted with him.
