  industry, you could be complacent.

• 5:14
  We are back five questions with ABJ now there's friend groups
• 5:20
  and support systems are important.
• 5:21
  I have what I call my cult of ABJ people, right?
• 5:24
  The Kingdom. Let's break this down a little
• 5:26
  bit. How does this Kingdom start?
• 5:27
  Who are they? Let's give them some shout outs
• 5:29
  and and exactly like it's easy to say, yeah, they helped me.
• 5:33
  Yeah. What are some aspects of how
• 5:34
  that helps? So the Kingdom, we all have this
• 5:37
  tattoo. It's the dice.
• 5:38
  We went to Vegas. Real quick, was he?
• 5:40
  Yeah. It's a 5, by the way.
• 5:42
  Yeah. Look at that, you see how the
• 5:43
  world works. So the Kingdom are my close
• 5:46
  friends now. I have a friend named Kenny and
• 5:49
  a friend named Justin. They are both in my immediate
• 5:52
  friend group as well. Those are my best friends as
• 5:54
  well. The Kingdom consists of my
• 5:56
  friend Donovan, his girlfriend Gina, my friend Mariah and me.
• 6:02
  You get a women's touch in that game.
• 6:04
  Yes, we do. Yes, we are locked in for life.
• 6:07
  They help in immense way. So Donovan, besides my parents
• 6:12
  and family, he's the closest thing in the family to me.
• 6:14
  He's probably the he is the closest person to me.
• 6:17
  That's my twin and he supports me.
• 6:19
  He believes in me just as much as I believe in myself.
• 6:23
  And knowing he believes in me helps me tremendously doing
• 6:28
  anything that I do because he knows that I can and since he
• 6:31
  knows that I will and he means the world to me.
• 6:35
  So he's locked in known him since 4th grade.
• 6:38
  Gina, who's his girlfriend makes him happy.
• 6:42
  So I got them together, love them to death.
• 6:46
  That's why that's there. And Mariah, Mariah was my
• 6:49
  girlfriend, but we are best friends, started out as best
• 6:51
  friends love that. And yes, and we are still
• 6:53
  friends. That is one 100%.
• 6:57
  And we are locked in for life. She again believes in me as much
• 7:02
  as I do and that coming from someone who's had depression
• 7:04
  before. We battle self doubt, self
• 7:07
  belief. When you have someone or people
• 7:09
  that believe in you like that, you never want to let them down
• 7:12
  one. But it's just like a confidence
• 7:13
  boost. Like I know I can do anything as
• 7:15
  long as they're in my corner. So the Kingdom is always with
• 7:17
  me. We got the tat, it's always
• 7:19
  there. We're locked in for life.
• 7:21
  When I go out there, they're literally with me like spirits.
• 7:24
  So we're good to go. Yeah, support this guy.
• 7:27
  I promise you, there's a few people here on the PPW roster
• 7:30
  that I honestly think will be on that next level, if not within a
• 7:34
  year or two very soon. You're definitely one of those
• 7:37
  people, man. Stay humble, stay grounded.
• 7:39
  You're going to do big things. Take it easy.
• 7:40
  We'll see you next. It's exactly, yeah.
