And then I got to a different level and started doing this on a national scale. And, you know, all of a sudden I'm like, oh, my gosh, this is bigger than I ever dreamed it could be with my career and stuff.

Yeah, I mean, we do that in a lot of different ways. I have my own foundation. The Darryl Worley Foundation is alive, well, and active. Oh, nice. We are really, really making a difference in our region, which would be like West Tennessee, North Mississippi, North Alabama. All there. But we help people all over the country. Yeah.

Nice. you know, figure it out because we went through a lot of time when it was not easy. Those first few years, I'm like, Oh my gosh, I'm going to wind up being in debt. Yeah.

Well, and the bottom line is you've just got to come up with free money somehow. Yeah. And when you say free money, people go, what is that exactly? And I say, well, where are you giving me money to help people? Yeah, exactly. So for us, it's free money. For those people, it's free money, but it doesn't come free. There's a lot of work that goes into it, but every bit of it's worth it.

But leaving the foundation behind, it's a work that will continue long after I'm gone. I know it will because good people are involved. Good people want to be involved in things like that.

Oh, yeah. Well, that's because you're helping somebody. I can sit here and harp on it all day long, but I'm a spiritual person, and I'm a born-again Christian. I love Jesus Christ. I don't preach to people. That was my daddy's job. He's really good at it, but I said, I don't think that's going to work for me. Right.
