Once you stop being hot, once you stop giving them what they need, they're going to go to the next thing. And so I realized that from football, I've seen it. So when I got into this space, I'm like, I appreciate the love, but I know the love is circumstantial. Once I stop giving you what I need and I get it, it's the world, you're going to move on to the next thing.

So you think I'm going to start a war within myself and lose myself for that? No. I'm okay with losing followers. I'm okay with people saying, oh, I don't feel, I'm okay with that. My worth is not in people's opinions. I was given worth at birth just like you by God. So I'm worthy. Pun intended.

I'm worthy because of how God created me and sees me, not how this world views me, not by a blue check mark, not by 16 million people following me online. I was already worthy before birth, just like you. God set you apart. It's in scripture. So that's where I've gotten my confidence from in my life to no longer start a war within myself. It's not worth it.

I was given worth at my birth. I was given worth at my birth.
I was given worth at my birth. I was given worth at my birth.
Absolutely. Yeah, I look back on my life and I realize, my past through football really was to prepare me for this and show me like what's really real. You know, I always say this and it seems kind of harsh. I would say real situations expose fake things in your life or people in your life.

And so I was able to see, oh, the majority of people in this world, and this is just us in general, but the majority of people in this world sometimes only loves you because of what's around you. Do you love me for me? And if I don't have a consensus yes, then I put you in the place where I feel like you need to be in my life.

And I think a lot of times what we do, Jamie, is we put unfair expectations on people. We give people titles that they don't deserve. We give people the title of a friend. We give people the title of all these things when they haven't shown or proved it. And so I think that's where we mess up. Even on social media, like, this is my family.

And I have the rehabbers across the world, and I appreciate them. But we make these friends, or they really care about me. And besides liking what you do for them, and I know it's a two-way street, we build relationships. relationships these days, I feel like off of the weakest things. And no wonder when we go through trials and tribulations, things crumble.

So I want to build something off that's solid. And so if it's only what surrounds my life that's attractive, that's one of the things that we talked about earlier where I'm always going to be my authentic self. Because if my heart is not enough for you, if this is not enough for you, then my success and the things that look sexy around my life aren't going to be enough for you.
