Summary

George Janko opens up to Lecrae about his journey; his battle with cussing and smoking weed, newly-married life, launching the "Man on Water" stand-up tour, and learning to keep his eyes on Christ in every storm.

George explains why topping YouTube charts still left him empty, how flipping burgers once gave him more peace than Hollywood fame, and why true success means "not throwing away your soul for the gift God gave you."

He also shares about how he stays accountable while millions are watching and why he views himself as a "baby christian"
