Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?
Ashton Kutcher!
I was attending a hackathon that he was hosting for human trafficking and victims of child abuse – causes close to my heart. I was (and still am) a nerdy Data Scientist and back then I was pretty new to the Silicon Valley culture.
A hackathon was usually a networking event where you socialized on booze and appetizers and made your two-minute pitches to the billionaires around. But I believed in sitting and CRUNCHING NUMBERS to win this effing thing.
While being at my nerdy best, I realized my head was bumping against something right behind me. So I turned to give an annoying look to whoever they were. And when I did, I froze! It was Ashton!
His butt kept bumping into my head as he rocked the chair that he was leaning against. MY CHAIR!
Well, although I froze and did not sleep that night, I did not say a word to him. I just continued crunching my numbers!
