When you say the system is broken, what's systemed? And what about keeping you in? And the system keeping you in?
8:58
Yeah.
8:58
For example, I just have seen many times when it's just like they'll get a little bit of a break, whether it's financially from working with us, and then...
9:11
Something will happen that will just cause them to be...
9:15
They'll take a step back.
9:16
I believe, and please don't quote me on this, but for the average person to break through the poverty is about $50,000.
9:25
That can be really challenging for...
12:53
So could you share a story of a woman and then how she transformed when she came to work for Rebel Nell?
4:29
What changed or what did you realize was maybe not the path for you anymore?
4:33
There were a couple of different things.
4:35
As I was growing, I worked really hard and kept getting different promotions.
4:41
But I really wanted to be on the baseball operations side.
4:45
And that was becoming increasingly difficult.
4:47
And at the time, I was living right next door to a woman's shelter in Detroit.
4:53
So I work all day, all night at the games, come home, talk to these incredible women, really left challenging situations in search of better opportunities, not only for themselves, but their families.
9:03
Was there like a certain conversation or something that happened in those actions with you that maybe shifted a little bit of your perspective on the ways in which women can show up in the world beyond sports?
11:34
I mean, what was it at that point? Was it that one guy? I mean, what else? I mean, what drives one to say, there aren't enough no's in the world, I'm going to get this?
11:44
Yeah, I'm certainly a persistent human.
11:49
With the tigers in particular, the...
11:52
And I just I have I probably have three or four from every team, but they're the ones that finally got the opportunity.
11:58
But I would and I'm not saying I want to like encourage people to lie, but but I knew I wasn't from Detroit where I was living.
12:08
There was not a major league baseball team.
12:12
Baseball teams are notoriously cheap, right? They're not, they can get talent in their hometown.
14:46
So then tell me how you, where does the idea of Rebel Nell come from?
