He’s made us laugh, made us think, and sometimes made us do both at the same time. But now, Jason is taking on a new role — mentor and coach — helping actors and comedians break into the industry with his live online class on February 25th | Event Details and Register at <a href=\"https://plauzzable.com/comedian/jason-stuart\" target=\"_blank\">https://plauzzable.com/comedian/jason-stuart</a><br /><br />This isn’t just another acting workshop. It’s a no-nonsense, laugh-filled masterclass on navigating Hollywood, taught by a man who’s been there, done that, and worn every possible hat in the industry. | LISTEN TO INTERVIEW | PODCAST links at <a href=\"https://www.laloftblog.com/2025/02/09/jason-stuart-the-comedy-coach-whs-done-it-all/\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.laloftblog.com/2025/02/09/jason-stuart-the-comedy-coach-whs-done-it-all/</a><br /><br />The Evolution of Jason Stuart<br /><br />If you’ve ever thought Jason Stuart was ageless, you’re not alone. During our chat, I couldn’t help but point out that he’s one of those rare people who actually gets better-looking with age. His response? A mix of humble disbelief and razor-sharp wit: “I don’t know about that! I was just very boyish when I was younger.” I responded, “Maybe it’s just that you’ve gotten more masculine.”<br /><br />More masculine, maybe. But still the same Jason—quick-witted, fiercely honest, and eternally young at heart.<br /><br />Stuart’s career spans five decades, covering everything from stand-up comedy to dramatic acting, directing, and producing. He’s worked alongside George Clooney, Faye Dunaway, JK Simmons, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and so many more. His role as a villainous plantation owner in The Birth of a Nation was a powerful and unexpected turn, proving his range far beyond the comedy stage.<br /><br />“It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my career,” he told me. “It changed me as an actor and as a person.”<br /><br />But if you ask Jason if he’s now the “monarch” of gay comedy in Hollywood, he’ll just laugh.<br /><br />“Oh God, no! I don’t think they’d allow that.”<br /><br />Acting, Comedy, Coaching, and Cutting Through the Noise<br /><br />Comedy is a weapon and a healer, a way to challenge perspectives and change the conversation. Jason Stuart knows this better than anyone.<br /><br />“Right now, there is no ‘normal’ in the world. Nothing surprises people anymore. But comedy lets us hold up a mirror—sometimes a very twisted mirror—so people can actually see what’s happening.”<br /><br />That ability to challenge while entertaining is part of what makes him such a compelling teacher and coach. For years, he’s been offering advice for free, simply because people kept coming to him. Then, during COVID, he found himself on every kind of industry panel imaginable.<br /><br />“I was on openly gay panels, actor panels, stand-up panels—you name it. And I realized: I’ve been coaching people for years. Why not make it official?”<br /><br />And so, Jason Stuart’s online coaching program was born.<br /><br />Now, he’s bringing that experience to a live online class:<br /><br />🎭 “The Business & Craft of Acting & Stand-Up Comedy”<br />📅 February 25, 6 PM PST<br />💰 $25 – A steal for an inside look at the industry<br />🔗 Register Here: Plauzzable.com<br /><br />In this interactive session, Jason will:<br />✅ Review your acting reels and stand-up performances<br />✅ Provide honest, constructive feedback<br />✅ Teach you what casting directors actually look for<br />✅ Help you break through mental blocks that stop you from succeeding<br /><br />“I want to help people avoid all the mistakes I made,” he says. “I don’t want them wasting time. I want them booking jobs.”<br /><br />What’s Next for Jason Stuart?<br /><br />Of course, Jason isn’t slowing down. His award-winning series Smothered continues to rack up Indie Series Awards, and he’s got a new drama in the works:<br /><br />🎬 Redlining – A film about generational wealth, race, and family struggles, starring Lee Garlington (Field of Dreams), Alexandra Paul (Baywatch), and Jason himself.<br /><br />📍 Live Performances:<br /><br />March 11 – North Coast Rep Theater (San Diego)<br />March 15 – JR’s Comedy Club (Los Angeles)<br />June 4 – Minneapolis Comedy Festival (Headliner!)<br />June (TBD) – Lake Tahoe Pride<br />And if you’re in Palm Springs on February 27th, catch his short film Like Father at the Mary Pickford Theatre.<br /><br />Why You Need Jason Stuart’s Coaching<br /><br />Jason isn’t just a talented comedian and actor—he’s someone who genuinely wants others to succeed.

Why do both new homeowners and veteran investors have this number practically tattooed on their palms? More than 27,000 home sellers, buyers, renters, landlords and investors have been helped by our growing team of real estate agents and financial technology specialists. Join us as we dive into the world of 213-880-9910 and unravel the allure of this seemingly ordinary string of digits.<br /><br />1. The Man Behind the Number<br /><br /><br />Corey Chambers is not your typical broker—he’s a digital pioneer and real estate innovator who’s woven technology, personal touch, and a bit of magic into every transaction. Known for his unique mix of old-school reliability and futuristic vision, Corey built his real estate empire with a focus on making clients feel as if they’re not just closing a deal, but embarking on a journey.<br /><br />Corey Chambers’ 5-star reviews read like glowing testimonials from a fan club of satisfied clients who can’t stop singing his praises. From first-time homebuyers marveling at his patience and guidance to seasoned investors lauding his unparalleled market knowledge and negotiation prowess, his reviews showcase a diverse array of success stories.<br /><br />Dialing (213) 880-9910 doesn’t just connect you to Corey; it connects you to a story. A story of opportunity, transformation, and maybe, just maybe, that hidden gem of a property you didn’t know existed.<br /><br />2. Call for Curiosity<br /><br />First-time callers are often pleasantly surprised. “Hello, Corey Chambers, Entar Real Estate,” the voice greets—warm, professional, and (here’s the kicker) human. There’s no automated maze of prompts or an operator putting you on hold. Corey takes most of his calls personally. “When someone dials this number, I want them to feel like they’re already in their dream home,” Corey explains.<br /><br />His approach is refreshing in a world where customer service has been largely replaced by chatbots and recorded messages. But it’s not just about answering calls—it’s the way he does it. Whether you’re an anxious seller or a curious buyer, Corey has a knack for putting you at ease and infusing excitement into every conversation.<br /><br />3. Real Estate Magic<br /><br />Beyond the charm, there’s a reason serious investors keep 2138809910 on speed dial. Corey’s known for his uncanny ability to match people with properties that seem tailor-made for them. He combines decades of on-the-ground experience with cutting-edge technology, leveraging blockchain, AI, and even a proprietary coin—Entar Coin—to offer unique investment opportunities.<br /><br />“I don’t just sell homes; I provide paths to financial freedom,” Corey states. And 213-880-9910 is the key that opens that door. Want to sell your home and gain shares in a growing real estate technology company at the same time? One call can make it happen. The number is the fastest way to find out if a property is a good investment, to quickly know the real value of just about any real property in California, or to ask a tough real estate question.<br /><br />4. The Legends and Lore of 213-880-9910<br /><br />Like any great number, 213-880-9910 has its share of stories. Rumor has it that once, a single call turned a small-time property flipper into a multi-millionaire after Corey tipped them off to a hidden hotspot in the city’s underdeveloped outskirts. Another story involves a celebrity client who dialed in from a plane mid-flight and closed a deal on a penthouse sight-unseen—just because Corey made it sound irresistible.<br /><br />But perhaps the most remarkable part of this number’s lore is its consistency. While trends come and go, and algorithms change the game every few years, 213-880-9910 has remained a steady beacon, providing reliable guidance and results.<br /><br />5. More Than Real Estate—A Lifeline<br /><br /><br />For Corey, 213-880-9910 is more than just a business line. It’s a lifeline for those seeking more—whether it’s a better home, a lucrative investment, or simply peace of mind. It’s his commitment to connecting with people, one call at a time, that makes this number so compelling.<br /><br />“I want people to know that when they call me, they’re not just getting a broker,” Corey says, smiling. “They’re getting a partner, an advisor, and maybe even a friend.”<br /><br />Clients often highlight his ability to demystify complex real estate jargon, making every step feel easy and empowering. But it’s not just about the transactions; Corey’s exceptional service goes beyond the sale—many mention how he’s remained a trusted advisor and a friend long after the deal is done. With words like “life-changing,” “dedicated,” and “visionary” peppering his feedback, it’s clear that Corey doesn’t just close deals—he creates lifelong relationships built on trust, excellence, and results that truly exceed expectations.<br /><br />So, the next time you find yourself wondering how to take your real estate journey to the next level, remember that help is just a call away. Punch in those digits 2-1-3-8-8-0-9-9-1-0 and prepare to be enchanted. Because it’s not just about reaching Corey Chambers; it’s about unlocking possibilities you didn’t know were waiting.<br /><br />AND FOR THE TRULY ADVENTUROUS, GIVE IT A RING YOURSELF—YOU MIGHT JUST WALK AWAY WITH MORE THAN A PHONE CALL.<br /><br />Rate and review the L.A. Loft Blog, Corey Chambers or any Entar associate. Fill out the online form.",

A holiday where many of us scramble to make sure those close to us KNOW we love them! After all – Love is a many-splendored thing. While Love for our family and friends is the most important, I think it’s also essential to express my heartfelt desire for helping people find a home where their heart is. <br /><br />Corey Chambers<br />My favorite love description is: Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. I could go on with all kinds of examples like – “Love Your Neighbor as Yourself,” even go all business-like and say “ how much we love your referrals” and more. <br /><br />But, the point is we do love helping people sell and buy real estate. And those people say we are good at it! <br /><br />Please know that my team and I are eager to help anyone you know wanting to make a move.

We do this by donating a portion of our income from homes we sell.

BUT, Children’s relies on sponsorships and donations to provide their elite level of care, and to keep families’ expenses to a minimum. So YOUR REFERRALS REALLY DO HELP THE KIDS…<br /><br />Who do you know considering buying or selling a home you could refer to my real estate sales team?<br /><br />Not only will they benefit from our award-winning service, but you can rest assured we are also donating to a very worthy cause.<br /><br /><br />Go Serve Big!!!

I remember when I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from a serious disease and getting treated for that at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. It was then that I began to pay closer attention to the work they do at that hospital. Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard-working health care professionals, most making their home right here in the Los Angeles area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help young people overcome unfortunate health issues that life sometimes throws our way. Being a Los Angeles Area California native, I take pride in supporting in a way that I can do the good work these people do at Children’s. My team rallies around our annual goal of raising money and donating portions of our income to help Children’s in their quest to heal young people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles shares a similar commitment to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations, we are happy to contribute and proud to support them.<br /><br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Corey Chambers<br /><br />Lifesaving Brain Surgery Rescues Buddy From a Rare Encephalitis<br /><br />A neurological disease called Rasmussen’s encephalitis terrorized the 3-year-old with nonstop epileptic seizures. The only hope was a hemispherectomy, in which doctors disconnect the two halves of the brain so one cannot disturb the other.<br /><br />By Jeff Weinstock<br /><br />“How can I say yes to someone asking me if I am OK with them cutting my kid’s head open and taking part of his brain out?” Paul asks, emotion clenching his voice. “I didn’t know how to be OK with that.”<br /><br />But what other option was there? His son, nicknamed Buddy, had been besieged for months by the effects of Rasmussen’s encephalitis, a rare brain disorder that causes inflammation in one half, or hemisphere, of the brain, triggering epileptic seizures that can devastate mental and physical function.<br /><br /><br />The disease, which generally strikes young children, ravaged the left side of Buddy’s brain. Since its onset in June 2022, when Buddy was 3, the number of seizures would rise and fall, staved off by a pile of medications. But now they were coming virtually uninterrupted—over 150 a day—a potentially fatal condition called status epilepticus that forced Buddy to be admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles with a breathing tube.<br /><br />“Out of an hour, he was spending 40 minutes either having seizures or recovering from seizures,” CHLA neurologist Latanya Agurs, MD, says, “and he would spend the entire day receiving emergency doses of medications, just to seize over and over again.”<br /><br />The one effective treatment for Rasmussen’s encephalitis is surgical, but the graphic nature of the procedure, called a hemispherectomy, unnerved Paul and Kristen, Buddy’s mother. Doctors cut away nerve fibers bridging the two halves of the brain so that epilepsy signals cannot travel across—from the side stricken with encephalitis to the healthy side. Removing those connections neutralizes the seizures.<br /><br />If the surgery worked—as it does 90% of the time—Buddy’s brain would still experience electrical activity that would be picked by an EEG, but he would not feel it, nor could the seizures do him any more harm. In effect, they would be firing blanks.<br /><br />“If you put an EEG on a person who’s had a disconnection,” Dr. Agurs says, “that EEG’s going to look like he’s having seizures, but I shouldn’t see the patient have any clinical manifestation of them. They’re not spreading from one side of the brain to the other.<br /><br />“Zero seizures is the operation’s goal,” she says. “Alive and zero seizures. That’s the gold standard.”<br /><br />When the brain turns on itself<br /><br />As rare as Rasmussen’s encephalitis is—estimated at 2 cases for every 10 million people—Dr. Agurs, an epileptologist at CHLA’s Neurological Institute, had seen it several times by the time she received Buddy’s case. “I have three or four patients who have it currently,” she says.<br /><br /><br />“There’s a lot of encephalitis,” she explains. “Rasmussen’s falls into the category of autoimmune encephalitis. Something triggers your cells’ antibodies to attack its own brain, and you can’t always find the reason why.”<br /><br />Plus, there’s no stopping it. Agurs says one of the indicators for Rasmussen’s encephalitis is progressive atrophy of the brain, which was visible on Buddy’s imaging.<br /><br />“You get two MRIs three months apart and you’re thinking, ‘Why is the brain smaller?’ It had already happened. He’d had some brain shrinkage already.”<br /><br />He exhibited the telltale motor deficits of brain degeneration, which are typically experienced on the opposite side of where the seizures occur. So it was with Buddy. The strength in his right leg declined to where he could no longer stand upright.<br /><br />“He was stumbling everywhere,” Kristen says. “He couldn’t hold his balance.”<br /><br />His language ability worsened as well. Independent of the encephalitis, Buddy suffered from autism, limiting his speech to one-word sentences, which now came out in a slurred slow motion.<br /><br />CHLA neurosurgeon Jason Chu, MD, MSc, says Rasmussen’s encephalitis needs to be acted upon early before it erodes so much of a child’s brain that the brain’s growth is stunted and may even regress. Importantly, a central trait of a young child’s brain is its neuroplasticity—a limberness that allows the brain to adapt to a new weakness and gradually autocorrect, as the healthy areas take on the work of the injured part.<br /><br />“As we get older, our brain starts to solidify in very specific areas,” Dr. Chu says. “But in younger patients, the good side can actually pick up a lot of the functions from the diseased side.”<br /><br />Disabling the pathways<br /><br />Disconnecting the brain’s two hemispheres, however, has “trade-offs,” Dr. Chu says. He explained to the family that the procedure would bear significant physical and mental impairments, and a need for extensive therapy to restore those areas. One consequence of the procedure that could not be recovered would be the loss of his right field of vision, opposite where the nerve fibers would be cut.<br /><br /><br />“That’s a very difficult conversation to have and can be very scary for families,” Dr. Chu says. “But we’re talking about an operation that has a really high chance of curing the epilepsy—never having a seizure again for the rest of your life.”<br /><br />Kristen quickly gave her approval for the surgery, looking toward the recovery. “Let’s get it over with so we can work on the deficits post-op,” she recalls thinking. “I want to get my son back.”<br /><br />But she shared Paul’s fears. “It’s brain surgery. What if they don’t cut enough? What if they cut too much? What if they cut in the wrong spot, and what if my son doesn’t come out of it?”<br /><br />Meanwhile, Paul read up on Rasmussen’s encephalitis. He overcame his reluctance after he learned what “a monster” the disease is, he says. “I still have Google tabs open right now on my laptop from back when I was looking up the condition. I didn’t want to feel selfish. I didn’t want to be the reason he didn’t get better.”<br /><br />The experience of their doctors reassured them both, the result of working in a Level 4 epilepsy center, the highest designation of expertise awarded to a hospital. “They sat us down and said, ‘This is not the first time we’ve seen this,’” Kristen says. “Dr. Chu was like, ‘I just did this surgery not too long ago. You’re the third patient to come into the PICU with Rasmussen’s encephalitis.’”<br /><br />The hemispherectomy was performed Oct. 7, 2022. Scheduled for 12 hours, it went 13—a surgeon’s dozen. Dr. Chu and his team removed all the connections between the two halves of Buddy’s brain, preventing the left side from transmitting seizures over to the right.<br /><br />“If you leave anything connected, seizures will still get across and you will have wasted your time,” Dr. Agurs says.<br /><br />Paul describes the outcome succinctly: “They went in and cut my kid’s brain in half and saved his life.”<br /><br />An unexpected gesture<br /><br />For the first weeks after the procedure, Buddy did not talk, nor could he move the right half of his body. But Dr. Chu had warned of this outcome beforehand and said the deficits would not last.<br /><br />“He gave us the rundown,” Kristen says. “‘This is what you need to expect coming out of surgery. It’s going to take him a while to get back up, but just be there for him, continue doing what you’re doing, and he’ll be OK.’”<br /><br />So it was, as after a month Buddy’s speech returned. “Not full sentences, but he was saying his one-word phrases again,” Kristen says.<br /><br /><br />Fifteen months since, Buddy’s progress is dramatic. As was hoped, the plasticity of his young brain has worked in his favor, the right side seeming to absorb what had been the tasks of the left—and in Dr. Agurs’ view, at a much higher level.<br /><br />“After doing his assessment, we assumed that his language has moved itself over,” she says. “Seeing him in clinic now, I think his language and his ability to communicate have gotten vastly better since his surgery. He’s much more verbal than he was.”<br /><br />And certainly more blunt. “A couple of days ago,” Kristen says, “he was watching TV and I went to play with him, and he says, ‘Hey, I can’t see.’ So he’s speaking clearly now.”<br /><br />Physically, Buddy has also adapted. A natural righty, he has learned to be left-handed. He limps and wears leg braces, but they don’t conceal his recovery. Asked if he’s walking, Kristen goes one better: “He’s running.”<br /><br />Dr. Agurs and Dr. Chu marvel at his improvement, having watched Buddy march around the clinic in October. “He couldn’t even stand on his own last year when he was having seizures,” she says. “A lot of things recover really well after a hemispherectomy, especially when you’re under the age of 6.”<br /><br />The most important post-op finding, of course, was the immediate and complete elimination of Buddy’s seizures. The doctors don’t expect them to return. But Kristen can’t keep from reacting to the smallest sudden gesture.<br /><br />J<br /><br />“As happy and hopeful as I am, I always have that doubt in the back of my mind,” she says. “That feeling never goes away. Say he twitches in his sleep or does any little movement, I still flinch. I’m day to day, and I don’t think that’ll ever change.”<br /><br />There was one unexpected gesture that brought not anxiety, but instead astonishment and joy. One day while on a drive, Paul told his son that he loved him, and Buddy answered back with a complete sentence he had never said before: “I love you.”<br /><br />“I don’t know why he said it back,” Paul says. “Maybe he just felt safe and comfortable.”<br /><br />When Dr. Agurs heard about it later, it moved her to tears.<br /><br />“I always feel so bad for Paul,” she says, noting Paul’s regret over initially delaying the surgery. “He always says, ‘I shouldn’t have waited.’ I told him, ‘It’s OK. We got it done, right? We got it done.’”<br /><br />How You Can Help<br /><br />Refer your friends, neighbors, associates, or family members considering making a move: www.ReferralsHelpKids.com or call Corey at 213-880-9910<br /><br /><br />Copyright © This free information provided courtesy L.A.

I didn’t want to be the reason he didn’t get better.”\n\nThe experience of their doctors reassured them both, the result of working in a Level 4 epilepsy center, the highest designation of expertise awarded to a hospital. “They sat us down and said, ‘This is not the first time we’ve seen this,’” Kristen says. “Dr. Chu was like, ‘I just did this surgery not too long ago. You’re the third patient to come into the PICU with Rasmussen’s encephalitis.’”\n\nThe hemispherectomy was performed Oct. 7, 2022. Scheduled for 12 hours, it went 13—a surgeon’s dozen. Dr. Chu and his team removed all the connections between the two halves of Buddy’s brain, preventing the left side from transmitting seizures over to the right.\n\n“If you leave anything connected, seizures will still get across and you will have wasted your time,” Dr. Agurs says.\n\nPaul describes the outcome succinctly: “They went in and cut my kid’s brain in half and saved his life.”\n\nAn unexpected gesture\n\nFor the first weeks after the procedure, Buddy did not talk, nor could he move the right half of his body. But Dr. Chu had warned of this outcome beforehand and said the deficits would not last.\n\n“He gave us the rundown,” Kristen says. “‘This is what you need to expect coming out of surgery. It’s going to take him a while to get back up, but just be there for him, continue doing what you’re doing, and he’ll be OK.’”\n\nSo it was, as after a month Buddy’s speech returned. “Not full sentences, but he was saying his one-word phrases again,” Kristen says.\n\n\nFifteen months since, Buddy’s progress is dramatic. As was hoped, the plasticity of his young brain has worked in his favor, the right side seeming to absorb what had been the tasks of the left—and in Dr. Agurs’ view, at a much higher level.\n\n“After doing his assessment, we assumed that his language has moved itself over,” she says. “Seeing him in clinic now, I think his language and his ability to communicate have gotten vastly better since his surgery. He’s much more verbal than he was.”\n\nAnd certainly more blunt. “A couple of days ago,” Kristen says, “he was watching TV and I went to play with him, and he says, ‘Hey, I can’t see.’ So he’s speaking clearly now.”\n\nPhysically, Buddy has also adapted. A natural righty, he has learned to be left-handed. He limps and wears leg braces, but they don’t conceal his recovery. Asked if he’s walking, Kristen goes one better: “He’s running.”\n\nDr. Agurs and Dr. Chu marvel at his improvement, having watched Buddy march around the clinic in October. “He couldn’t even stand on his own last year when he was having seizures,” she says. “A lot of things recover really well after a hemispherectomy, especially when you’re under the age of 6.”\n\nThe most important post-op finding, of course, was the immediate and complete elimination of Buddy’s seizures. The doctors don’t expect them to return. But Kristen can’t keep from reacting to the smallest sudden gesture.\n\nJ\n\n“As happy and hopeful as I am, I always have that doubt in the back of my mind,” she says. “That feeling never goes away. Say he twitches in his sleep or does any little movement, I still flinch. I’m day to day, and I don’t think that’ll ever change.”\n\nThere was one unexpected gesture that brought not anxiety, but instead astonishment and joy. One day while on a drive, Paul told his son that he loved him, and Buddy answered back with a complete sentence he had never said before: “I love you.”\n\n“I don’t know why he said it back,” Paul says. “Maybe he just felt safe and comfortable.”\n\nWhen Dr. Agurs heard about it later, it moved her to tears.\n\n“I always feel so bad for Paul,” she says, noting Paul’s regret over initially delaying the surgery. “He always says, ‘I shouldn’t have waited.’ I told him, ‘It’s OK. We got it done, right? We got it done.’”\n\nHow You Can Help\n\nRefer your friends, neighbors, associates, or family members considering making a move: www.ReferralsHelpKids.com or call Corey at 213-880-9910\n\n\nCopyright © This free information provided courtesy L.A.
