QUOTES: "Because a lot of people have good things to say about you, your reputation will precede you in that regard. So it's important. It's a multi-layered thing." "I try to tell people to not be so cavalier with how they carry themselves and how they treat others because that will come back to you tenfold one way or another." "Perception is the only thing that matters. So if you're being perceived a certain way, that's what it is. Whether you like it or not. So you have to care what other people think." "You have to be real. You have to be authentic. You have to use your message to inspire and inject some positivity instead of injecting fear and negativity." "One of the best compliments I get, God willing and I'm grateful for is, you are exactly the same person that you portray on social media."
