So welcome to the show, William, why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself and your background.   William Hollingworth    00:00:54    Hey, thank you very much, Scott. I appreciate being here. It's an honor for me. So essentially our story is a I always feel a little corny saying it, but it's a self-help and somewhat inspirational guide story where we started off as teen parents, only 16 years old facing bringing a child into the world, trying to just struggle to make ends meet and finish high school.
