During the interview, Jay iterated, “I loved to train, and I didn’t bring phones into the gym I didn’t shoot things nowadays, people train for Instagram, okay, they train to make themselves look like something it’s it’s just a lot of you see on social media is a facade their lives aren’t necessarily that great… That’s why, I believe that it’s just kind of there’s been no real passion in a lot of these people’s vision. I wanted to be a successful businessman like I never thought I’d be Mr. Olympia.”
