Hey Kips fam, it's Krista Renee Hazlett, and this is a throwback you don't want to miss.

Country Wayne joined me on Keep It Posit, sweetie, and gave us more than laughs. He gave us game.

From his hustle and comedy to his faith in God and building an empire from the ground up.

Wayne reminded us that consistency, vision, and staying true to yourself really pay off. This episode hit hard for dreamers and doers alike. Let's get into it. Thank you. Hello and welcome to this episode of Keep It Positive, sweetie. Today I have Mr. Jesus is Bobbin himself. Yeah. Country Wayne. Hi. Dwayne Collie. What do you want to be addressed as? Dwayne. Well, people call me Wayne. Yeah. People just be like Wayne. Wayne. Okay, so Wayne. We got Wayne in the house. For sure. Better known as country, Wayne. You have a new book out called Help Us on the Way, which is what we titled this episode. Okay, that's what so. I think about Help is on the Way. The first thing that comes in mind is that church song, hold on, help is on the way. Yeah, I can't sing, but yeah. Yeah, definitely. Whitney Houston's song on Preacher's wife. Sure did. Yeah, I love her version. Mm-hmm. So good, so good. Let me tell people a little bit about you in case you don't know. Countryman, you are a comedian, a social media personality who was formerly a rapper. I didn't even know that. I didn't even know that. Yeah, yeah, I just

spit, but it ain't worked. It didn't work. No. Okay. You're known for your comedy content,

which is how I was introduced to you on Instagram, but you had a video that went viral in 2014

on Facebook. Is that when everything just kind of went? Yeah, that's when it, well, they, the video took off, but I didn't take off, but I took off with it. Like, I kept working. You saw something. Yeah, yeah. I'm on to something here. Yeah, I already knew for sure. That's good. Okay. You made funny, short videos about life's inconvenient and unfortunate moments. And then since 2015, you've been doing stand-up comedy, which is really taking off.

I've noticed that you're on the road all the time now.

And you've appeared in films such as Brazilian Wavy, The Turnaround, Holiday, Heartbreak, and then most recently, the movie we did together, praised this.

Praise this, yeah.

Some of the other movies you named, I don't even know what they... You don't know. Did you do this? One of them, I all, nah, I didn't really do that. Which one? Let's run it. No, no. It was something, you know how I beat. You know how to be when you first thought. I ain't gonna knock the people movie, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I got you. I didn't do that. Don't watch. That's what we're doing this evening. We're gonna find these movies and watch. I'll let you know how I go. Okay, so I remember I met you on the set of praises. You were the DJ. Yeah.

You had some really funny moments in that, super funny.

And you're very quiet on set.

Yeah, I'm a quiet person for real.

Are you?

I'm a great listener.

Mm, gotcha.

Okay.

So you, I guess you are extroverted when it comes to work.

Yeah.

But like Wayne in real life is just kind of chill.

I'm chill.
