There'll be about an hour and they'll go through about 10 or 15 minutes and then they'll stop and they'll do a worksheet, work through that process. And it'll be all those modules like trust, identity, all those things that I touched on. And so once we do that, we believe this stuff works because we've lived it. We've studied it. But our biggest thing is we don't want to have to tell you this.

We want to show you it works on a piece of paper. So what we're going to do is we partnered with the Boys and Girls Club down in Lafayette, the Juvenile Correction Center, the jail itself, Extra Mile and a couple other organizations down there. And we've set up a pilot program. So we're going to run these kids through a pilot program, ages 10 to 16.

We'll have two subgroups in that, 10 to 13, 14 to 16. And then one will be with a facilitator and one without. Obviously, our hypothesis is the one with the facilitator is going to do much better. But for scalability wise, then you have to start training the facilitator for everything. Not a problem. We can get it done.

We've even started to look into AI LMSs to start trying to help these kids a little bit. But we'll run them through that program. And hopefully at the end, the data shows that they are in a much better mental state than they were before the program. And at that point, if we've got actually hard data showing that these kids are getting better, you know, we become a different animal there.

So, and as of recent, we've actually been in talks with LSU, the, obviously the school I went to, we have a meeting with them on Thursday to actually try and see if we can get their student athletes through this. So we'd have to change up the verbiage, change up the format in a little bit and the production, obviously, because it won't be based from 10 to 16 year olds. It'll be more 18 to 25.

But yeah, Yeah, I mean we just want to make sure that it is working. And if it's not, it's not a total failure. We just got to change up our delivery a little bit, okay? That didn't work. This kind of hit. Take that and go. So there is no failing in this. It's only learning.

Progress is a kid saying – I feel better than when I was, or than before I was in this program. Success is to get that data back, showing percentage points that they are doing much better. I want to see the kids head high. And the ultimate success for me, in the words I can't wait to hear.

And I know my team can't, can't wait to hear is for us to work with one kid and then to achieve their dream or get that job or be that father. And then to say, I don't think I'd be where I am without heart has no limit. That is the ultimate success because not only do we change that kid's life, that kid is, we're going to reciprocate this to all these other people.

So it's not even just us reaching out to them. They are going to start reaching out to other people. So it's this chain reaction, but Those words I cannot wait to hear.

Well, I think everything's based off of faith for me, for sure. That's where, that's the bottom line. That's the foundation. You know, that's one, that's one of the, The things that I've thought about more and more is it's easy to be optimistic in my mind, I think, because of where I came from. I never struggled for a meal. I never thought I might not have a roof over my head.
