I think that was the exact line I used on a podcast once.

I was majoring in boo

Boobs and beer.

But you didn't realize this at the time, I'm sure.

You probably felt like, you know, life's over.

I was motivated.

Most people get in those holes, though, and people need to hear that kind of reflection of knowing what was ahead of you.

You were just barely getting started.

Even if it started a little bad, you're a little rocky.

If you've got kids in middle school or high school, you already know homework can turn into a whole situation.

What should take 20 minutes somehow turns into two hours and half the time it ends with frustration on both sides.

I've got four boys, three of them right in that middle and high school range.

So I see it all the time.

They hit a problem, get stuck, and it's not that they don't want to figure it out.

They just don't know how to get there.

That's why I've been looking into Brainly.

Brainly is basically a 24-7 AI-powered tutor that actually walks them through problems step-by-step, not just giving answers, by helping them understand how something works so they can build confidence and keep moving.

And as a parent, that's the part I care about.

It's not about the shortcuts.

It's about them actually learning the material.
