Jay "Jeezy" Jenkins

How do I get involved in this?

And how do I try to turn the curve?

And it's just been this uphill battle of just trying to fix it.

And I had to realize one day, I can't fix nothing if I don't fix myself.

And that's when I kind of was just like, okay, well, let me just work on me.

You know, I really changed myself before I could change the world, because that's going to be a harder task.

And then just hope the people that align with me, that we go out here and we crusade together to do our part.

But I used to have visions when I was young about how I was going to change the world.

Like, I literally knew, like, I had to get out here and become this well-respected person so I can have some say in this.

Because if not, then who better?

Like, who's really, who really cares?

Because once the money is made, like, you know, the MO is the

Walk to the sunset.

You know, we all want to live somewhere great, but I still want to do the work.

I think the best advice that I ever got was from Dave Gibbons, one of my mentors.

And he told me that education costs.

Like, it costs.

It costs money.

It costs pain.

And one of my other mentors told me, you're not a leader if you're not in pain.
