Nobody knows this, but the first actual purchase, after I signed my deal and called my bank account and heard how much money was in there - 'cause I was so broke and hungry - was Taco Bell.

Insight: There's something real in that detail about hitting it big and immediately grabbing fast food instead of something flashy. It cuts through the fantasy of overnight success—the part where suddenly you're supposed to become a different person with different tastes. Logic stayed himself. He was starving, literally and probably figuratively, so when the money finally hit, his body and brain knew what it wanted: something cheap, hot, and familiar. That impulse reveals something we don't talk about enough. Success doesn't erase hunger. It doesn't instantly upgrade your instincts or make you forget what survival felt like. Sometimes the most honest thing a person can do after achieving their goal is exactly what they would've done if they were still broke—eat what comforts them, not what impresses people. There's freedom in that, actually. It means you're not performing success; you're just living it. The other angle worth noticing: he called his bank to confirm it was real. That moment of doubt, that need to verify, captures something deeper about not believing good things until you can prove them. For anyone who's come from nothing, even the confirmation feels temporary.
