And it's really an exciting time because if you look at the trends going on in sports,
the NFL TV deals are going to be three times larger in five years or so.
So that money is going to trickle down to athletes making even bigger salaries so that, you know, with that income, you know, it opens up a lot of opportunities.
So I know we're talking a little bit on the doom and gloom side, but there's going to be even more opportunity flushing into, you know, professional sports over the next five to ten years or so.
Our hope is that we put the athletes in a position to where they can make some good decisions on what they invest in and really grow some wealth for when they finish
Yeah, I think it's all about building a good team.
And I think that, you know, if you want to create success, you know, you have to really put together a good team.
You know, you find somebody, you have somebody come in as a veteran from, you know, the same kind of mindset that you come from, an execution-based mind state.
You know, I think, you know, you can find those ways to team the veterans up with the athletes that you can create some good teams.
And they bring two different, you know, two different values with the financial capital maybe coming from the athlete-investor
and the veteran operating as the operator.

And I think that a lot of what we did early on with PAFI was try to find ways to inspire athletes to come to our session.
So we focused a lot on putting media out about the successful athlete franchisees, the Junior Bridgemans, the Jamal Mashburns, the Keyshawn Johnsons.
We put a lot of that information out there, and it brought a lot of the athletes to the door, to come to our summit for the first time, to start to even think about franchising.
We brought a lot of people in the past six or so years through our educational process
starting to open up their first franchise, starting to build their first partnership that opens a franchise, and we're starting to see these seeds being placed in the ground.
And now we're getting to the point to where really our third part of our mission to inspire, educate, and develop to where we're looking at how can we develop success stories and how can we really stay next to the athletes as they grow as franchisees.
And that kind of brings up what we're rolling out.
What we've been in the process of rolling out for the past few years, our certified athlete franchisee program, which is very much like the CFE program to where we take the athletes through continued exposure to education, through we have a mentorship program where we pair our athletes up with franchisee mentors, a discovery day process to where we encourage our athletes to go on some discoveries in some different brands to see what they're interested in,
