Did this mission find you, or was it something that you had always wanted to do, that you kind of deliberately planned, "Okay, I'm gonna go to Home Shopping Network, build this stage of my career, and then make a transition to nonprofit"? So was it deliberate, or did it just, like, kind of serendipitously come to you?

It came to me.

And, and it's come to me at multiple times, uh, in my life.

You know, the first time I became a Big Brother, I was a, you know, a, a young employee at, at HSN.

So I was very early in my career.

I was not married at the time.

Um, I was a recent college graduate.

How do you think about, as it relates to, like, your own children, ah, the role of, like, being somebody who inspires them, who teaches them values? Like, what does inspiration mean to you as a father, and how do you look at or how do you try to practice inspiring your own children based on your story, your father's story? Like, how does that legacy play out for you?
