Hi friends, so I figured it's time that I'd be honest with you. And I'm gonna tell you the whole story about how I gained over 860,000 followers on TikTok and less than two years. I'm gonna tell you the full background of what was going on with me and then why I started on TikTok, how I blew up and how I still blew up consistently. There's a lot of shit that's gone on that y'all don't know about that I need to tell you about because I'm all about like self-development self-growth and all this shit So I wanted to share everything that I've been through because it's a lot and I really think it will help a lot of you

But god damn my anxious about this episode because it's about a lot more people than just me So let's just jump into this. I'm gonna tell you about my TikTok from the fucking birth of it and We're just gonna see where it goes from there I have notes in front of me to like keep me on track with the whole story and everything that's happened, but it's a lot. So I had a TikTok account like everybody does where you just kind of like don't post and then you do fuck around and you eventually like do just post and you start posting like little random bullshit. That's what I was doing and I was kind of like just fucking off my TikTok. Nothing on my account blew up. I just want to start that from from there like it wasn't an accident how I started

Growing on social media, and I want to make that very clear. It was very strategic and Like a Lana Del Rey says if I said I didn't plan for it to turn out this way. I'd be lying So what was going on with me at the time was I had just left an ex of mine and I was going through the worst breakup you can fucking imagine and the reason I left this X was because of Disrespect there was a lot of shit that went on and I don't care how much money you have how great you are who you are I do not tolerate disrespect and I tolerated too fucking much of it and I hit my breaking point and I was like Leo Who the fuck are you like remember who you are and I bounced I did everything I could to make it work I put up with a lot of shit

But I just want to say tolerating things in a relationship that you're not okay with It's never gonna go well. Don't try and convince yourself to be okay with shit You're not okay with fucking bounce get the hell out of there But this person I was dating was very Well-off financially like you had a lot of money and I'm mentioning this because it is a key part and a really big like contributor to What the fuck happened after I left? But basically I Touched a lifestyle and got access to money. I had always fucking dreamed of I've never been more unhappy in my life

And I'll do a whole podcast episode about that about like voids money can't fill and I'm also gonna do a podcast episode about how money Does make you happy? I'm gonna have to play devil's advocate for both sides But basically I got to a point in this relationship the money didn't fucking matter like it was cool It was cute, but I just wanted out and the disrespect is the thing that I fucking ran from. I don't tolerate that shit like I said like I'm gonna go fuck if you're the goddamn pope. Eat shit. You gotta understand something about people who have money and it's that they get what the fuck they want and if they can't get it they'll find a way to buy it or help it like I don't know how to explain it like they get what the fuck they want and they buy ways to get it and even if they can't buy

A direct way to get it. They'll be able to pay for some aspect of it people with money are just used to getting their fucking way And when I left this person There was no getting me back once you pushed me to that point where I'm ready to say fuck you and I leave You disrespect me to the point where I have to leave. It's my self-concept or you. There is no getting me back. There is no second chance. There is no fix it. So I was dealing with a person who's used to getting what he wants, not having to deal with loss.

And I was the thing that he lost. I don't think he could handle losing me. Honestly, I'd be upset if I lost somebody like me too. But like I said, people with money are used to getting their fucking way, but it was more than just that. Like he got finally the love he had always looked for in life. Like he got to experience what it's like to truly be loved and cared for. And that's a big thing with someone like me. Like when I love someone or care about someone,

you're never fucking finding that again. You're not getting it twice. And I was the thing he had always wanted. I met the needs for him, he didn't know he fucking had. I lost myself, because I didn't know how to fucking do a relationship back then, but I became everything he ever wanted and everything he ever needed. So for him to get to experience that, great, best thing ever.

And then to lose it, ah bitch, I would lose my fucking mind too. But people have a weird way of coping with losing things and especially people a lot of people have to justify Losing someone or losing something so they'll need to discredit what it was it wasn't as good as I thought it was Or they need to paint the person out to be evil so they feel good about losing them like he was trying to convince himself That what he got from me was not real, it was not true, I was a liar, I was a fucking manipulator, I was all this and all that. Motherfucker, you can't fake the way that I love people, okay? But basically, me leaving him put him at war with himself because he was trying so hard to make me out to be the fucking bad guy and he just couldn't because the way that I cared about him was so fucking genuine and I handled every situation right.

It wasn't about the fucking money and it was obvious and so many situations explained that and exposed that and it's like people can't just sit with the fact that they fucked something up. They need someone else to be the problem and someone else to take the responsibility of that. They can't handle it. So, he tried to make me out to be the bad guy. He had to like convince himself I was evil and I was fucked up.

So he felt good about what he did to me and what he did was try to fucking destroy me. And he did. He did fucking destroy me and my entire life. And that entire experience is a big key component to how I am the way that I am and why I am the way that I am and All the mental like strength I have now because I was broken down to nothing so I'm from Florida That's where all my family's that I lived in Florida grew up in Florida and I moved to Atlanta, Georgia to be with this person And when I left him I moved back home to live with my. And that was the mind fuck of its own to go from spinning like $100,000 a month on just whatever, traveling the world, doing whatever the fuck I want,

eating at the best places, buying the nicest shit, to choosing back into going to work as a nurse because I'm a nurse. A lot of people don't know that. I graduated as a nurse and R.A. in at 21 years old. So I chose out of that lifestyle, out of respect for myself, to go back and take on working to only make like $3,000 to $4,000 a month. And that was a huge mind-fuck that I'm going to talk about in the money episode, like going from those extremes of lifestyles without something I'm very good at. And that's why you can't sway my character

with money or anything, because I'm able to bounce back and forth. I'm able to adapt very well. I've been up and down in lifestyles before and I have no problem doing it again. But that lifestyle is something I never touched. Like that level of money, when I left that shit, that was so fucking hard because when you have that lifestyle you get to escape a lot of fear and worry and

What am I gonna do with my life all that's solved for you because you don't have to fucking think about it So when I chose to come back home and like rip myself out of that lifestyle and put myself back into like reality of like a normal working person I Chose that shit and I did it. But that alone is enough to fuck someone up mentally. So now I'm gonna tell you what the fuck he did after that. But when I moved back home with my dad and started working again, I was fucking harassed like you cannot believe, bitch. Like anything you can make up for a fucking movie happened. Like I should write a book on this shit, but I really

don't want to give people ideas of like how to hurt someone because what he did to me is unforgettable. And I will be mad about that until the end of time. Like I'll be in hell, fucking burning and just stewing with the fucking hatred I have. Oh, I do have a lot of like, compassion, a little. Fuck you, fuck you for what the fuck you did to me. I don't believe in forgiveness I don't deal with that shit you did what you did if fuck to me up the way that it did

I am who I am now because of it, but still fuck you till the day I die I do look back and I have like my soft heart moments where I'm like appreciative of certain things and I thought I missed certain things But me ever having a conversation with this person and never saying thank you for what they did for me is so destroyed the entire potential of it is destroyed by what the fuck they caused and what they did to my life So the biggest thing that happened when I said I was going through all the harassment shit I was working as a nurse and when you're a nurse you're licensed by the state that you live in so I was licensed by the state of Florida so this person, him and his mom,

concocted a fucking plan and reported me to the Florida Board of Nursing and submitted false claims against me and said that my license needs to be terminated and revoked. The Florida Board of Nursing has to investigate any claims that are made. Like they have to see if it's true or not, you know? It's not that you're like guilty or you're innocent.

It's like this claim, okay, we need to assess it. So they launched a full investigation on me for six months to figure out if these claims were true or not, and my license was on the line the entire time. But your license doesn't go inactive just because someone submits a claim. So I was still able to work as a nurse, but this person started calling the company that I worked for and was harassing the fuck out of them was making all these false claims with them,

was threatening to sue them because they still employed me. He was trying to get me fired. He was doing the most fucked up shit you can imagine, but he also sent pictures of me nude photos that I had sent to him when we were relationship. He sent my fucking nudes to my boss and to every email in my office of my company I worked for. So every one I worked for saw my fucking dick. And he was trying to say that I was taking nudes while at work and sending them to him

and I need to be fired for it. And he was also saying that I was taking pictures of patients and like sending their addresses. I fucking never would you dumb shit. I'm too fucking smart for that. Like, one, I care about people too much to violate fucking hippa. But two, you think I'm fucking stupid enough to violate hippa? They will come down on you like a ton of bricks. Hell no. But basically he was just trying to ruin my fucking character and he caused so much headache with

the company that I worked for that they didn't fire me. But they asked me to go inactive, which means like not work. So it's not that you're fired. You're still an employee, but I'm not an active employee. You just go inactive, so I wasn't working while the investigation was going on, and to get this motherfucker to stop, because he was fucking with the company, not just me. And there was so much more happening than just this, but I was so excited, because I was in contact with attorneys,

I was in contact with the fucking police many times, because of the extent of the harassment I was in contact with the fucking police many times because of the extent of the harassment I was under But everything was dismissed because it was like just under the law like nothing broke the law So I was finally like yes finally you do something where I can get your fucking ass arrested you little bitch Because this one thing if you want to come to me and have a fucking problem Let's have a problem if you want to fight let's fight if you want to fucking try and kill each other Let's do it But for you to fuck with me and ways where I can't protect myself and because you have money

You're gonna abuse it. I don't fuck with that So I don't like calling cops. I don't like doing that shit But I had no fucking choice like bitch wouldn't come to my face and I couldn't find them Motherfucker kept fleeing the country because he knew if I got my hands on him, he's toast. And my life was at a point back then where I had nothing to lose. He had taken it all. So going to prison for murder was not an issue for me.

I had nothing to fucking lose. The potential for my life was gone. It was fucking ruined. So I was excited that he finally sent my nudes because I was like, now you're getting arrested. You punk fuck. Nope. And I tried to put in a fucking report and the cops basically said that the way that he sent my

nudes was out of concern that I had violated some shit in my company so it's different if he just sent my nudes to someone like his friend or something but he sent them to my company, sent them to everyone in it, but because it was showing concern, it's not illegal. So this motherfucker again was just under the law, and I'm over here just left to fucking be embarrassed and have no way to defend myself. So I considered, okay, I'll just go get a job at a different place while I'm under investigation. He won't know where I work at the new place, so like I'll be fine from this, you know, like I can still make some money live and be fine. And then this motherfucker bought LeoSkeppy.com and made a full website with embarrassing

ass pictures of me and fucking ripped me, made up fucking lies, made up fucking stories, literally plastered anything bad he could about me to try and ruin me and ruin my name. Because what this does, when I was gonna go look for a new job, the first thing new employers do is fucking Google you, the first thing that comes up is LeoSkippy.com. So it inhibited my ability to get another job and it was like checkmate. Like what the fuck am I supposed to do financially, you know? So luckily I just started working for my dad. He's got his own business he does fine but like I I didn't want to fucking do that. Like I fucking have no

interest in that shit and I went to school so I never had to go work for my dad. I went to school and became a nurse so I could have my own branch off in life. I could go do something separate and support myself and be okay and that was fucking taken from me. So I ended up right where I fucking avoided being, which is working for my fucking dad, went through three and a half years of school.

For fucking nothing at this point, because I'm right where the fuck I didn't want to be, like I'm right where I started. So I started working for my dad, because it's the only place I can get a fucking job. And I'm fucking dealing cards on the side. Because fuck this shit, like the system is not here to help you. The justice system is a bunch of horse shit. And I was attacked from every angle. I had no other option I saw at the time. So I did what the fuck I had no other option I saw at the time, so I did what the fuck I had to do.

I literally looked at my life like it was ruined. And I was in such a point of hopelessness and just fucking despair over everything. Like you can only imagine where the fuck I was at mentally and emotionally. And that's when the suicidal tendencies and the suicidal ideations and all that started for me. I hit that fucking point.

And hung out there for a goddamn, wow, I got comfortable in it. It was like my sense of normal. And I'll make another episode about how to get out of suicidal thoughts and like deal with all of that. I'm just trying to make sure I execute that episode very, very, very good. That's a slippery slope bitch and I don't want to get caught up in no fuck shit. So, I can give you the real life things that I learned from being in that place and staying in it and feeling stuck in it. And this was my little phase where all I did was fucking party. I would work Monday to Friday and then I would

go out and get so blacked out fucked up on the weekends. I didn't know who I was and what was going on in my life. That's when I started doing extra curriculars and rolling my ass off because I didn't want to feel what I felt. And I looked at it like there was no fucking point. Like, my life was ruined. It's done. Who gives a shit? My life is well go, have a little fun if you fucking can, you know. I escaped. I had to spend a big period of my life coping to escape what I was dealing with, because I was in court too. And I'm about to get into when I started my account. So I started the username on TikTok, not Leo for legal reasons. And the reason I picked that name is because I was going through court. The motherfucker, all this shit he

was doing, he was also suing me in court and making up all these fucking cases He can make against me try to get a restraining order on me try to fucking sue me for multiple different things Just to drag me through court because court is very expensive and I didn't have money to hire an attorney So this motherfucker just wanted to ruin me mentally, which he did for a while and Drag me through fucking court so I couldn't stop thinking about him He was still in my life and I couldn't get away from it like it was literally like the worst fucking shit And I hate court. I hate everything to do with court It's not about who's right and wrong and who's good and who's bad and who did wrong and who did bad

It's about their fucking little rules and their little laws And if you know how to skate around them you can get away with so much shit and a judge will literally look at you in your fucking face And let the other person go who has ruined you the justice system is not for justice and I'm gonna leave it at that So basically I picked the name not Leo for legal reasons because I was going through court And I was like I don't want anything on posting or doing to be able to be brought up in court So not Leo for legal reasons fuck you ya, try and pull it up. It ain't me. But I started to like post videos on there

because I was just making fun of what the fuck was going on in my life. Like I literally was just making fun of this shit. Like I had to figure out a way to feel better about it. So I would just make jokes about it. Like I recorded one fucking video when I was in court. And I literally just was like, I'm in fucking court because my crazy

Ass X or whatever the fuck like couldn't like fathom losing me like I was like making a joke of it because I couldn't find any Other way to deal with the situation so I just tried to posting random ass shit on not Leo for legal reasons and it was just like Whatever I wanted to fucking post problematic shit. I didn't care. I didn't give a fuck I was just posting to post it it was funny to me so I didn't give a shit But like I said, he was trying to drag me through court and he was trying to sue me for all this shit And the videos did get brought up and I didn't give a flying fuck because I wasn't paying for attorneys One thing about me is I'm very fucking stubborn and I was not letting this situation cost me any more fucking money Like I had already been out a lot trying to like deal with certain shit

I was like fuck this. So instead of hiring an attorney, I really didn't have an option, but I spent a lot of time studying law and figuring out how to represent myself So I didn't have to get an attorney and guess what bitch? I fucking represent myself every time and I won every single time. Put it on my fucking resume. I'm a goddamn attorney now too. No but really like it was the most satisfying fucking thing and that was such a big character building moment. Like I know so much about the law. I had to learn how to like control my emotions, get it together, speak even though I'm dealing with all this shit inside.

Like I went and represented myself and I fucking won. Every single time. The gratification I got from that, like, oh, like you spent like thousands of dollars on an attorney to fight me and I just shut them down. And I didn't pay nothing. Ah! So sad it's fine. But basically this exa mind had plenty of fucking money and plenty of time.

And his goal was to destroy me and he made it very clear he was never going to stop. That was his only life mission now was to fucking ruin me. And he did for a while. And where I was at mentally was like not a good place. And that, like I said, is a big component why I know so much that I know now. I've had to like get myself through some of the worst shit.

And this was the period where everywhere I turned, no one could help me. No one in my life knew what to tell me. No therapist, no counselor, knew what to do to help me. Like they didn't know how to help me manage my emotions, how to deal with what I was feeling. They just literally looked at me and was like, I don't know.

I had doctors prescribe me Xanax for anxiety and shit because every day I woke up, it was more and more shit and Also anti-depressants which I didn't fucking take. I was just raw dog in a bitch. Oh my god Now that I think back I should have taken them because that was a really really tough time But my reputation was fucking tarnished like anyone I was potentially gonna try and date was gonna find out about that Website and see all that shit. Anywhere I tried to get a job, I was gonna be fucked because they were gonna see that.

Like, my reputation was ruined by this person, and I didn't know how to get away from it. And I truly like self-destructed, because I didn't know what to do. And I didn't know how to escape the reputation that he fucking destroyed of me online. I genuinely didn't know how to do and I didn't know how to escape the reputation that he fucking destroyed of me online I genuinely didn't know how to fucking do it and again I contacted attorneys and I tried to figure out how to have the site taken down

I tried to have police reports made and basically they said it's freedom of speech People are allowed to say whatever the fuck they want about you with no Slap on the hand even you're free to fuck to say whatever you want. Like I said, go buy your fucking website domain of your name. Please trust me, I'm looking out for all you. But I did try to look into a definition of character lawsuit. And I was like, I'll go get an attorney and sue this motherfucker for the definition of character, because he's just ripping me with a bunch of this bullshit.

Like it's all lies. So I was like, I'm gonna get your ass now. Until I went to an attorney and I went to multiple this bullshit like it's all lies so I was like I'm gonna get your ass now until I went to an attorney and I went to multiple and they all said it would be around $30,000 for the case I didn't have that didn't know how to get that and no attorney would represent me without payment so that's not like a legal thing that's like a civil thing I don't know what the terms are honestly I don't get it but if I didn't have $30,000 at least to shell

out for a fucking case, I wasn't gonna be able to get anything or get him to stop. Like, he was just free to fuck with me because I didn't have money to fight him. So the website was up and it wasn't coming down and there was no way for me to escape this reputation that he made for me. I literally was like powerless. I was like, there's no way for me to do anything. I can't control it. And then I had a little realization one night and I was like, okay, Leo, what can you do? Because you're focused on all the things that are out of your control, but what can you do? Because you've got this reputation now and people think this certain way about you, even though it's not true

They don't know anyone that doesn't know me and sees that they're just gonna assume it's the fucking truth So I looked at what can I do and the idea I had was To start posting consistently because I was growing like a little bit I think I had like eight or ten thousand followers at this point from like a little funny Should I was making but I was like I can start posting consistently and show people my heart and show people who I truly am. Because there's no way to change it. There's no way to change the reputation and the shit that was plastered online about me. So my only fight against it was to just show people the real me. So basically I realized you can't change your reputation You can't change what people say about you

But what you can do is be so yourself and show people the real you So much that the claims and the shit talked about you doesn't make fucking sense That is your only way out of a bad reputation. You can't worry about trying to change everything. All you can do is just be more of yourself and be more genuine and be more fucking real. Like let people see the real you. That's the only way out of it. So that's when I started post it consistently on TikTok and I just started posting videos that showed like my true heart, my true feelings, my true thoughts, no matter if they were problematic or not, everybody knows my intentions are to help, not hurt.

Like I have so much love to give, so I had to start giving it. And I started posting consistently and I started just showing people my personality, showing people the real me, and just being my fucking self. A lot of people say be yourself. I had a different motive behind it.

I had a whole like, people have to see who the fuck I am. There is no other option It's create a name for yourself or be buried under the name that someone else has made Because like I said, I didn't have money to fight this in court I didn't have money to go out like the legal route with this shit. So I had to get strategic I had to get smart what can I do and It started working. I started blowing up for my personality. I started blowing up for my little tips and tricks I shared and like the inside I shared and then I was just entertaining in a lot of them and people liked it. People liked

how just true and raw and real I was because I couldn't be anything else. I was literally forced into being my authentic self and it's the best thing that I ever did but it wrecked the fuck out of me. So I started gaining a little bit of a following for my personality and my videos that would do well. Like on TikTok, I think I had like 60,000 followers or something. And I was like, okay, people are seeing my personality in my heart a little, but like, how can I make this more? So I started my separate TikTok account, Live Coach Leo, and that is the account where I only shared advice and realizations and insight and things that I learned to

help other people. Because I genuinely want to fucking help people. And I was going through so much shit and learning so much shit. I was like, if it can help anybody else, great. Let it be worth something. Because only for me to know about what I was learning and the fact from what I was going through is a waste. I wanna give it to as many people as possible. Like I wanna save as many people as possible from their fucking suffering. So that was what that account was for.

And then that one started blowing up. And that one's at like 209,000 followers now. I wanted to make my following worth something. You know, so I just started sharing all of my advice on the one page where people got to know me like deeper than my personality page, but everybody still knows the real me on my personality page. It's not two different people. It's just two different topics that I talk about.

And then my advice video started doing well. And people liked those. And people liked me. Like a lot of people liked me for who I am. And the things that I share and everybody saw how like just genuine I am like I put my fucking heart out and people saw it and a lot of people fucking attacked me and ripped me to shit but fuck them like it touched the people that I wanted to touch and it worked and when those accounts started blowing up, I finally felt a sense of protection.

Because this person fucked with me in every way. I didn't know how to protect myself in. Like physically, like my past, before I met this motherfucker, I learned how to physically protect myself. There's no threat physically I'm scared about. I know how to fuck and deal with anything. I have a high-paying tolerance

I can get through anything physical. But I didn't have the emotional resilience and the emotional strength, the mental strength, the perspective, the awareness, or the knowledge of how to protect myself in other ways. Like, either it's online or just work shit, like your money flow. Like, I had to learn how to protect myself across the board and gaining a following Kind of helps me with that like I felt so Protected for the first time because that was one of the big things that fucked with me was like I just want to get my hands on him because I know how to protect myself physically

Like he was ripping me and ruining me and every way. I didn't know how to fight And the only way I knew how to fight was physical. Like, come here, let me get you. And I will fucking handle this shit. You know what I mean? But not being able to do that, fucked with me so hard. And I felt so weak and vulnerable and fragile.

And like, anything could hurt me. And I felt so powerless. And I hate that fucking feeling. Everybody does. But going through all of this gave me like my sense of power back and taught me how to truly be fucking resilient and protect myself in all aspects, not just physically. So I thought I was tough before. Now?

Impiniturable bitch, you can't fuck with me. But like I said, I got a feeling of a sense of protection when I started blowing up because I was like People see the real me now, you know like they see it. They get it like I felt a little bit more like relief and I felt a little tiny sliver fucking hope the small sliver smelling a bump But hiding took my power away and that's exactly what I wanted to do when all of this was happening was just hide. Because who the fuck wants to be seen or be known with a reputation like that, like I just wanted to disappear. But the exact opposite is what saved me.

Like I had this terrible reputation I just wanted to hide from and not be seen and just disappear. Like I had this terrible reputation I just wanted to hide from and not be seen and just disappear but the cure Was to hide and claim fucking sight and show everyone the true me so that it made every claim made about me Invalid y'all aren't gonna believe shit if someone just gets online starts running their mouth now like now I feel Confident because I have shown you the real me. It takes a lot of courage to do that, but it's a lot of safety in that too. Like I feel very protected now because you guys know the real me.

And not even that you know the real me, you care about the real me. And for that, I cannot thank you enough. And then the whole process of this shit show is when I was starting my app, positive focus, and it's my the fucker went on there and left one star of use on it to try and bring me down like literally any move I made Was countered like when I had no like reviews on it

It was just one star shit and he left multiple and I can't get them taken off So if you're watching this and you have an iPhone or an Android will you go down on my app? Please and just leave it a five star rating to counter some of that shit like I hate this hate this sound like a fucking pick me and ask, but like, there's no other way to counter it. I can't get them removed. I've contacted Apple, I've contacted anyone you can contact. There's no way to get them out, so I just need as many upvotes as I can get to counter at the bad boats, so they would mean the road to me, thank you. But also was starting my app.

My app was like one thing that gave me a little sliver of hope again, but When I was in the process of making it and then I made it the motherfucker messaged me like emailed me and I had to change my email 25 times. I had to change my fucking phone number five times because like I said the harassment was that and he kept getting my Fucking new information off of legal documents like when I copyrighted my app and I trademarked everything fucking new information off of legal documents like when I copyrighted my app and I trademarked everything that motherfucker like found the public information and then started harassing me again so I had to change all my shit again and there's no way to like completely get everything about you taking offline so it's just a goddamn shit show I'm fine now but I have so many emails and I have so many different like phone numbers, you'd shit yourself. But I got an email when I launched my app

that a new app was being created just like mine. That was going to take all of the content that mine shares, but is going to be paid to be advertised above mine. So that mine looks like the copy and that mine looks like the fake. I tried to start the app and he was gonna counter it. And he had a team build another app, just like my app, to steal the content from it. And because he had more money, he could pay to advertise it more than mine and make mine travel away

and be nothing. So when I told you all I was hopeless and I saw no way out, I fucking meant it. Every move I made was countered. But with posting everything online, it truly helped me a lot with everything. And then I started my podcast, which is a whole separate story about how this came about, because it was one of the most suicidal things. And I was like, I need to make a podcast. But this podcast helps you guys get to know me even more. Like, there is no doubt that you guys see my heart and my true intentions. Like I have no anything, like I have no hesitation, no worry, no fear about anyone saying shit because like you guys get it.

You guys know me. Like you fucking can't not. You know what I mean? Like this brought me so much security with my audience and all of you that follow me and listen to me. Like I feel like I can trust you. And I trust you guys' judgment,

because you're not just gonna believe something that you fucking hear, because you've heard everything from me personally. Like if someone makes this claim, oh, Leo's racist, you fucking know me better than that. I'm too goddamn aware to be fucking racist. Are you kidding me?

You would never think that I let skin color dictate what I think about human beings. Are you fucking kidding me? Y'all know me better than that. See? Like I have so much confidence with y'all because like y'all fucking no better. But luckily the websites that were created are down now. All that shit's gone. It's in the fucking past. I had it handled and handled some of it myself. But all that shit's over with, that I know of, and I don't give a fuck if things start up again because of what I've created for myself. I've created connections and relationships with all of you

that can't be fucked with. Like I said, anyone can say anything and you're not gonna fucking believe it, because you know the real me. If they say it's not macurate, you'd be like, okay, that was accurate. But like because you know the real me. If they say it's not macurate you'd be like okay that was the act of it. But like you know the real fucking truth. But that's the main reason that I blew up online is because I was just straight the fuck

up. Honest, real, authentic and I just, I have nothing to fucking hide and I'm genuine as shit with my presence online and anything I post and share. And that's why I still continue to grow. So anyone that's considering getting online, if you got a situation similar to mine or you just wanna be online and you wanna know how to grow,

I hate to be cliche, but be your fucking self and not just be yourself, have something to fucking share and contribute. Whether it's gonna be valuable information, insight, comedy, entertainment, whatever it is, just share your heart, share everything that's true inside of you and people will like it. And the last thing I wanna say about this episode,

I'm gonna have to get heartfelt for a second, is the only sense of safety I've ever felt is alone and by myself. And this entire experience has brought me close to so many of you and has taught me that my true sense of safety is with other people, not myself. So I just want to say like the biggest thank you from the bottom of my fucking heart because you have no clue what I've been through. You know snippets of it, you know little shit.

But if you could cut me open and see the things that I've felt and been through, you wouldn't believe it. But thank you all for caring about me, for real. Like I appreciate every single one of you individually, and I'll never fucking let you down, ever. Like what I've built is the most genuine shit I could have ever built and I'm proud of it and you guys have no clue how much of a big and like important role you play in my life and also the way that I feel. And that's the best gift I

could ever get. So I've had the money. I've got the fame I've got all this fucking shit and the way that y'all make me feel is the only thing I give a fuck about and that's what truly matters in his life so If you could tell me Leo I'll give you a billion dollars or I can give you your followers I'll take the followers. I'll take the people who care about me and I mean that with my whole heart So again, I just want to say a big thank you for carrying about me and for sticking with me. And I'm going to leave it off there. Everything you need for me is in the description below.
