pre-MBA entrepreneurship confidence program, not STEM, because STEM's great, but that doesn't teach you how to negotiate, how to have self-worth, how to ideate. But if you had that in schools before they hit the confidence rock bottom, I think in a generation it would transform female leadership.

And I think it's one of those things that I guarantee you in 20 or 30 years, whenever people would be like, interviewing the Fortune 500 female CEO, and they'd say, how did you get there? They'd be like, well, I did this program when I was in sixth grade. And people say the Girl Scouts help teach entrepreneurship, but really, families go through it and they're like, it's just a marketing scheme.

It's just a pyramid scheme. I think there's really cool ways that you could teach a lot of these fundamentals to kids Then you could also even partner with local businesses to have a lot of this stuff in the wild. Now, a lot of schools do entrepreneurship clubs, but they're taught by teachers or they're taught by a parent who comes in. They're not curriculum rich.

They're not saying, hey, here's where you're going to stumble and here's where you're going to work through it. And the reason I'm so confident in this is because in the pandemic, when we were building all these courses and I was filming a lot of them in my home, editing them, doing a lot of office hours with these like world-renowned instructors, it was during lockdown.

So like my kids were home and they were a little bit young. Now they're 11 and 13. But I mean, they learned amazing negotiation skills. They learned amazing executive function just by kind of being in the room and absorbing these things and asking me follow up questions. And

And now, you know, we own a bookstore in downtown Palm Springs, which we kind of we live here part of the year and there's no bookstore. So our family opened one. And both of my girls have a business within the bookstore. My youngest daughter makes these good luck pom pom monsters. And if you buy $50 in books, you get one for free.

And then my older daughter makes these pride cranes, origami cranes. And if you spend, I think, $30, you get one for free. And I'm telling you, people come in this store and they will grab an extra book. to get one of those two items. They sell out in like two days. So I pay them like a dollar a monster or I think a dollar 50 crane.
