They ended up getting on my ribs and article came out. Kids were making shirts and I'm like, wow, I can do something with this. Started getting a bunch of responses back from kids saying you motivated me to go do this. And I'm like, what is going on? Like, this is just, this was just a tattoo for me and now it's blown up into something. So we started that.

I just wanted to make it as like a motivational movement to go out there and achieve, you know, whatever your goal was in life. It didn't even have to be in sports by no means. But yeah, After I ended up retiring, I knew I wanted to do a nonprofit, but when I tell you I knew zero about what a nonprofit was, I thought if you brought in a million dollars, a million dollars went out.

Obviously, that's not how it goes. You just do whole operations on the backside. But I didn't even know what I wanted to do. Obviously, I wanted to help people go after their dreams, but like, okay, how do you do that? Um, so we ended up starting it. I took about two months off after baseball, really just kind of reflecting on my career, really trying to figure out what's next for me.

What should I do? Um, and that's when I called one of my partners now, one of my longtime friends, Brendan Hitzman, and I'm driving across the causeway, just getting back from Scottsdale. And I call him like, Hey, you want to do a shirt with me just for like fun? You know, we'll, you know, whatever we make on the end, I'll break you off. And he's like, yeah.

And then he asked me, obviously the big question, what do you want to do with the rest of your life? And I'm like, I don't know. That's what I'm trying to figure out here. And I brought up the nonprofit. He's like, oh, he's like, well, my business partner, Joel, does a bunch of stuff with the nonprofit world.

He's like, why don't we get on a call, see if it's something, you know, that intrigues you, and then we'll take it from there. We jumped on a call the following Monday. And right after that, I was like, I'm all in. I'm all in on this. So, you know. We started the process and we got our 501c3 status on September 27th of 2023. Nice.

So what we're doing is we hired a doctor and a curriculum writer. And our curriculum writer and doctor, they've studied historical figures over the years, all the way down from Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill. And we read about these guys all the time and girls all the time, but why, why are we reading about these specific people?

So what we did was we studied them and we ended up pulling out these common traits that they all have all these similarities. And it was all based off the mindset, deleting the fear of failure, learning how to be resilient, being a major one, reframing, like I spoke on earlier, finding that call and passion, finding that identity, learning how to trust all of these things.

That accumulated to them getting the opportunity to be that historical figure that we talk about. So what we did was we pulled all those key points out, and we wrote our own curriculum on what the definition is, what the word actually means, how you actually apply it, where you can apply it. And what we're gonna do is we're gonna actually film it.

Obviously the video world is the biggest thing, especially with the younger generation. And we're gonna make a film up in Tulsa, Oklahoma with one of our other partners, Cody Jefferson, world renowned speaker and what he has lived through. And we're gonna have them in about eight, seven to nine modules and we'll run them through it.
