Amen And never give up 💯
Beautiful story and so inspired how two talented black men can sit down and spread wisdom ….. don’t stop helping people Cam - even thou you think some are not grateful …just keep moving and help when you can …. Beautiful blessing to be able to give back. Get the likes up people and share this video to your friends and family.
No matter how many times I hear Inky speak, I hear a different mssg. Truly inspirational!
I listened to every Funky Friday! Inky Johnson is the first to touch me inside when he thank Cam Newton for all the things he’s done. We as fans need to thank Cam just like Inky did today. Many come in attacking, and overlooking the good part. Cam is human, too. I’ve given suggestions to Cam, too, when I disagreed , but I never try to debase him as a man. Cam is 1 of the greatest Quarterbacks God has given us, & others. We can disagree but not dehumanize or debase. Before trying to end a person’s career, view the entire context he got put in since 2020! So, I thank Inky for his encouraging Life story, and his encouragement to Cam Newton! Inky Johnson, keep being GREAT to others, too! 💕❤️💕🙏🤟🏼

Inky Johnson is so inspirational!!!💯💯💯
No wonder he's a motivational speaker, the way he speaks with Wisdom and Knowledge!!
So delightful to hear this conversation that centered on overcoming diversity & handling life's transitions. Inky equals positivity & inspiration on steroids! Wishing many blessings to Inky & Cam.
He came to my high school back in FLA to share his story and testimony, so powerful man great podcast Cam!
Incredible Story. More Blessing to my man and his family
Awesome conversation! Really makes me see fails and successes so different. I could listen to Inky talk all day.....
I liked how Inky said I HAD TO LEARN ANOTHER WAY... Muscle makes it easy. When you winning, you cant be told nothing. But when you have to SUSTAIN an injury like INKY's you gotta become a neucleus... You gotta almost prof xavier your environment.
Played a tough sport, still maintained peace 🙌🏾
Hidden message: having support from a great woman. 💪🏽

That ankle bracelet is smoking hot on Cam! Yes! 💕🤟🏼😀
Always enjoy hearing Ink speak. Another great episode. Keep’em coming Cam!
This conversation made my day!
Powerful, Impactful, Uplifting and definitely God-Ordained. Thank you Cam for this podcast. I always say, you are here for more than football. Keep doing what you’re doing…making an impact. Blessings always to you and Inky. Love you!
This was an AWESOME communing of the minds. Two powerful black men chopping it up in discussion of the minds. Great interview Cam. Bring the brother back later.
The power of I AM! Being intentional in all that you do will serve a higher purpose!
Another great episode and so many gems shared and many moments that made you think about and appreciate life. Also things to take away to make you think about or do things in a different, more positive way. Very impactful, thank you both ❤
This is a touching conversation glad he didn’t give up on himself the obstacle and adversity he faced going forward and is moving in a positive direction have to give big props to the young brotha much success going forward,God bless!!!
This is so beautiful and needed. Thanks Cam your constant growing and becoming better as a person: keep it up 💪🏾❤️
Inky is a 🐐
I heard him speak in Nashville over 10 years ago very powerful story
Inky is a blessed, intelligent, well spoken man.
Very profound message some get it right away, some it may take a hurdle in your life to get it, understand to receive the essence of life to attain a footprint that will leave an impact on others even after your gone. The gift of life was given to you from birth and how you appreciated it by sharing and impacting others. Some may go their entire lives and not understand, listen or receive their life's purpose. They will forever be on the inside looking out, instead of on the outside looking in. I respect and appreciate the man that you are, your platform and shedding light.
Powerful messages and gems here! Amazing episode
BEST 1 EVER OOF YOU TWO! I AM AMAYZE! AMAZING JOURNEY FOR LIFE!
Great content that can change your life. Great gems and I love Inky's mission. Cheering for you my boi!
Love an respect Inky so much! Thank you for blessing us with so much inspiration
This dialogue was everything!!!! I loved the fact that this man of valour, Mr. Johnson was able to see God's hand on his life in the midst of the adversity he was faced with. And even more, I love the way his beautiful wife not only held him down in the midst of this, but she saw her husband's value beyond a paycheck. She chose to encourage him in his value as he entered into a new gift and into some beautiful undiscovered territory of his journey. This young man has a beautiful testimony and I was deeply moved by this entire dialogue. Shalom
Excellent interview. Inspirational story and so much wisdom. May God bless you two.
Rocking with Cam. My man got the sweater vest tucked in!! He cold. As a black man with Sickle Cell in America i live with adversity too dawg. Inky resonated with me on that level. Service is huge to feel better about yourself! Great show
I love this interview! So impactful to me for my personal life and my son's life. Thank you.

Awesome Show !!! Thanks cam …
TD sent me! Also love Inky, came and spoke at my high school years ago
Effective Impact yes Mr Johnson
Ink is solid. Love these 2 sec legends
Wow this in an amazing testimony!
Inky bringing crucial messages on professionalism and adapting to your audience
The transition or the pivot out of what you’ve known or believed was for you into who you really are to this world is a terrify and liberating cliff to stand at.
Cam, your show is REALLY good, keep grindin Beloved and I'll be watching!! Inky, Inky, Inky!! Brother, your message is ON POINT!! Keep laboring in the Lord, God's son, knowing that your effort is creating ETERNITY, love you men, keep doing what you're doing, in the Lord!!💖💖💖💖
One of my favorite people ever such a warrior
Inky, a true VFL a legend up there with Manning, Pat, and Fulmer
This man’s story changed my life
Damn never seen a cam episode. And this made me realize the full circle. Cam was that guy at auburn and “NUMERO ONE” like inky said. People really do forget. Like he’s real, even with his flex. He’s totally right, he’s giving a service to all these young cats. Those young cats haven’t accomplished anything compared to CAM! It’s about respect and understanding to work before all the talk
Loving the outfit,soooo handsome!!!💘 LOVE 💘
I feel like Cam still want to play football I know deep down in his heart it still hurts he not the field. But god does things for a reason. #CP4L #QB1
Tremendous Man!
Question can Ink move that right arm at all? Because I saw that arm move at 34:00, a few times. Ijs
It will be nice if he makes a biopic!!
🔥🔥
where do we get the intro song?

This my very first time discovering him. & may I Say. I can't take my eyes off of him. Fine may I say. Dam
Was DEEP then Cam lightened it up when he start talking about the kids not appreciating his money,that due to his status Cam Newton doesn't have to be there,that he flies private just like lil baby and future 🤷🏾♂️
Be versatile preparation
ink the man
Everybody a Podcaster now
This was one of the best moments with Cam Newton. I respect your level up from the NFL. This is what "SUPERMAN" looks like. And, to Inky Johnson: your presence, energy, positivity and inspiration is the strength of mankind. Keep moving in that beautiful light you shine!
