      @@hebrewharv8018 hahahaha same here!!! For the first 3 seasons I couldn't wait for them to kill his ass off the show 🤣, but by the end I was rooting for him!!! He straight crushed that role, and so did the kid who played Tariq!! Hell, for that matter so did Ghost, Tasha, Tommy, and 50...... Power is a legendary show

    The world's a big place and it's possible to live a beautiful life free of the stress, 'Karens' and all the hurdles we face in America just to make it and be successful. It truly is beautiful with the people, food, places e.t.c

Like … you never know what part of himself he’s going to share as a gift. RC? Consistent. Fine. Pro-Black. Thorough on all the levels all the time. Channing? Smart but downplays that part of himself. Funny as heck. Great listener. Sex positive. Freddy Flowers? We don’t know! He might be in coach mode with a young player. Or Listening and synthesizing to help pivot the conversation. Might be peace maker for the day. Might drop science & jewels for us laypeople. Anyway. Roses & Intrigue look good on you Freddy Flowers. 💯 Love this show. ❤️❤️❤️

    1111 Speaks to your spiritual awakening. It can also mean you’re on the right path. 222 speaks to partnership, & balance. 444 speaks to your foundation and the physical/material world. Anytime you see a number in multiples, it’s definitely enhanced. If you see 555 great change or conflict could be visiting you soon.
    Whenever you see repeating numbers, it’s a sign from the universe. Numbers carry vibrational energy. Love and Light!

    Couldn’t be happier you guys split from I Am Athlete and Pivoted! This show is way better and a lot more genuine! Love what you guys are doing!

    I am completely in shock of this episode. I have been watching the Pivot for the last 6 months from the beginning and on this episode I found out Rotimi sings one of my FAVORITE songs. Meeting in my bed... that song is over 2 years old and I had no idea he song it or was a Jamaican. What rock have I been under. This is why I love the PIVOT. I always learn some good stuff!
