This is 5 Minute Friday!

We've got an incredible interview today and it's with Kari Ann Moss, someone that I recently got connected to through a buddy of mine, Eric Hanler.

Now most of you might know who Kari Ann is as the character Trinity in the Matrix, which was a cult classic instantly,

and inspired and moved so many people who watched that movie.

And she had an incredible role and did an amazing job.

But Kari Ann is much more than that.

She is a mother, a wife, an actress, and a yogi who came to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting.

Now over the last 20 years, her work in the entertainment industry includes roles in the Matrix and Momento, and many other films and TV shows.

Now success as an actress has brought her fulfillment, but for Kari Ann it was marriage and motherhood where she found her deepest sense of purpose and her greatest joy.

I moved here knowing absolutely nobody. I had one person that I knew. I had no money. I had no green card. I just had a dream.

And I wasn't super savvy. I mean I was, I have a great deal of naivety at the same time.

In a total hell. I don't know how. I lived for Oprah back then because she was my three o'clock.

I knew I had something that I could do at three o'clock because I didn't have auditions. I didn't have friends. I didn't have anything here.

That first year of living in LA.

I lived right around the corner on Malrose. I met my manager who is from Vancouver. She and I have been together for 20 or four years. She still lives there.

So she was a Vancouver. She said to go to LA.

I met her. I was walking by her office, bringing a guy that I knew to meet a modeling agent. And she saw me and she said, you come in.

I'm going to LA to be an actress. And she said, I'll help you. I was like, okay, she became my manager.

And her ex-husband lived here. And part of their, you know, he, they had a child. And I lived, I rented a room and I paid her the $500 was part of his, like his support or whatever.

And he was, he's a comedian and a talk show host and he's amazing. He was always traveling. And so I lived in this one room and his apartment in off Malrose.

Sweet seren Melrose. Sure.

And I didn't have enough money to go for a coffee. And I'm not exaggerating. Okay. Not even in the least. And I just knew that.
