We live in a time when there is a thin line between arrogance and confidence. If you’re too confident, you need to be humble, but if you’re too humble, you get overlooked. The great Richard Penniman, aka Lil Richard, once said, “I’m not conceited; I’m convinced.” The man knew he was HIM, but it made the world uncomfortable. But why, though?
On this episode of the Jigsaw, Josh and Bryan discuss what it means to be HIM and break down if they believe they are HIM, who they believe are HIM, and what it takes to be HIM. Also, the guys discuss a certain teacher’s termination for a TikTok.
