I'm trying to get Johnny out of here in two hours, but he won't watch the video.

He can't do the workshops until he does.

And the parents are like, Johnny, like, why don't you watch the video?

Don't you want to do the cool things?

And so back to product market fit, figuring out... Positioning matters.

Positioning matters.

And every parent wants stuff differently.

When Mackenzie puts her GT families and the Sports Academy families, you know, and she has a lunch with them, the parents and talking about it.

Parents want different things for their kid.

They're like, well, GT school was having a chess tournament at the end of the day.

And when they came home, we just continued the tournament.

Parents want different things.

And so that's why I absolutely believe we need to bring entrepreneurship.

There's not one size fits all.

And we need entrepreneurs who are domain experts in the field.

Do you want to do entrepreneurship?

You want to build an investing high school, all of that stuff that I believe, you know, if you look our New York campus, I bet we'll have more financially oriented workshops in the afternoon than our San Francisco one, which is going to have more tech oriented workshops.

So anyway, the whole thing, I believe, we need to bring entrepreneurs in, we need to bring capitalism in here, and we need to create all the different parts of school choice so that parents can pick what they love.

And there is this enabling technology when you talk about, do you have something that's 10 times better that can transform an industry?

kids learning 10 times faster and so that they can do it, you know, in two hours a day, is that breakthrough product that can do it.
