I think it's grace, kindness, and confidence. I think that's the biggest thing is you can go and talk to people. Don't throw it in anybody's face. That's not going to do anything. They don't want it thrown in their face. Give them grace. Be kind to them.

Talk to them as if you wanted to be how you would want to be talked to and be confident in your faith and let them wonder, why does he look like that? Why does he have his chest so far out, his head so far high? What is that aura that is coming? And I'm a big believer in energy. Have them wonder. The only way they're going to convert or want to start down that path is if they wonder.

You can't force somebody to be helped if they don't want to be helped. And that's, again, getting back to the trusting. It's not like with these kids, we're going to be like, hey, let's go delete the fear of failure. I'm going to teach you how to be resilient. If they don't trust themselves, how can they trust that they are being resilient? They can't. So be kind to the people.

Make them wonder, okay, what is it that that dude has or that girl has? What is it? Let them start questioning. That's a great spot. That is the foundation of everything. They're brainstorming. What is this? What is this feeling? Why haven't I not seen that? Can I get that? What do I have to do to get that? All these are questions that are perfect.

We're going to start it in Lafayette, Louisiana. We'll do that whole thing. And we've already got confirmation. Sorry again.

So obviously, hopefully, we're hoping that.

And then we'll, like I said, we're in conversations with LSU right now on getting the student athletes down or the student athletes going through it as well.
