I'm glad you introduced yourself because this is something that's very close to my heart.

I always do the guff, the song and dance thing where it's like, hey, check it out.

But this is a serious topic because I'm also, I was born and raised in Miami, you know, but was sort of adopted by my grandmother.

And then I didn't learn emotional intelligence until like a year ago.

So I was hoping that we can kind of dive deeper into, you know, what you do today with children and how you're seeing a common issue with children that don't have the emotional intelligence.

And you want to kind of nip that in the butt as early as possible.

Talk about this journey.

How do you combat the TikToks?

How do you combat social media, the device?

I used to work at PlayStation, take a shot every time I say that.

And back then there was no social media.

Now PlayStation's losing the battle to your attention span.

Netflix, you've got to name the topic of the movie, what's happening six times in the movie because people's attention spans.

They just forget what they're watching.

How do you combat that now with kids that are armed with their devices, especially kids that come from pain that are like, well, I don't want to experience this reality.

I can just be here on Fortnite or watch someone else play Fortnite.

How do you combat that?

I worked with Garth Brooks's team and they were developing music videos and math where it's as huge now on YouTube.

Talk about some of the philosophies of using modern age and adapting to new ways of teaching.

No question.
