He admits that the brand began simply as a way to “prove himself” to those who doubted his potential, but later, as his audience grew, his motivation changed to something more selfless.  “Thank God—something turned a new leaf in me. Something told me that I have value for people. Now it’s all about my followers. I love them to death. I care about them.
