Lately, my character has been called into question.

So I’m responding — calmly, clearly, and on record.

I want to be very clear about something upfront:

I do not want to go scorched earth on this podcast.

I prefer peace. I prefer resolution. I prefer truth without chaos.

But I will not sit quietly while my integrity is misrepresented.

I’ve documented systems before.

I’ve spoken publicly before.

And when I have, the facts spoke for themselves.

If you think I’m exaggerating, look at the record.

Look at Red Walmart.

Look at Lievars.

Look at Best Lie.

I don’t attack people for sport.

I respond when truth is replaced with narrative.

I’ve tried to do things the right way — privately, respectfully, patiently.

I’ve carried accountability.

I’ve adjusted.

I’ve improved.

I’ve shown receipts.

What I will not accept is character assassination disguised as “feedback,”

or empty mottos about hard work, open doors, and speaking up —

when actions repeatedly contradict those words.

So consider this a line drawn — not a threat, not a tantrum, not a spectacle.

If you come at me, come with facts.

If you tell my story, tell it accurately.

If you question my character, be prepared for my response

I don’t want escalation.

I don’t want exposure.

I don’t want chaos.

But I will defend myself with truth if I’m forced to.

Please don’t force my hand.

Long live the Empire.

See you Friday.
