So I went onto Twitter and I started looking for writers and I found a bunch new up and coming writers, maybe 500 followers, a thousand followers.

And I was explaining this to other people. Anytime people ask me about this story, I tell them I slept for 50 minutes and then I would wake up quickly post because there was no scheduling.

In my first month. We, we, we've never seen anything like that before. And every celebrity at one stage was following us.

I think we credited her incorrectly, found out that it wasn't even her quote. I mean, this is just between me and you, but it was insane the impact that it had. And I didn't have any confidence to post my stuff. I didn't because I psyched myself up to believe that I'm just a distributor. I'm not the talent. I find the talent and I bring it to the platform for the community. This isn't about me.

Why are they racist? Who is following me that's racist? So I stopped putting my face out there and I did that for 10 years.

I didn't gain, to answer your question, I didn't gain the confidence to put my work out there until maybe about four or five years later.

Let me use this as an opportunity to network and I'll figure out myself later. You know, I spoke in a book about premonitions. I used to get a lot of premonitions as a kid.
