Jacquis Neal talks about his short-lived but storied career as a rapper with RDM (Run Dat Mob), growing up wanting to be an entertainer, being inspired by Marc Summers, going to high school and getting to be black in a white space, nightclub brawls, getting caught the first time out, stumbling into acting and realizing he loved it, blowing away the competition with very little training, 2002-2003 being a turning point in his life, the power of being told "go sit the hell down, you'll be fine", new discoveries in his life from trying new things as a result of boredom, his love of Chicago and the Cubs, performing at UCB, and getting drafted into the podcast NBA.
