“I really watch people and I ask a lot of questions. With Cuba, it was a situation where he had been working in the industry for a long time. I think he had a holding deal. He had some experience. I was asking him a lot of questions at that time, and he was telling me a few things about the nature of the industry,” says Chestnut. “I never really had a mentor, someone who says, ‘You should do this.
