Where were you in this beautiful planet of ours? What was life like around you? And what was money like

Well, I think I would have to start just a couple of minutes before age nine to really paint the right picture.

And that is, I was born into a motorcycle club, aka a gang.

Yeah, we, my parents, well, my father was the vice president.

So the number two in power in this frankly organized crime club called the Motorcycle Club.

And this was back in the late seventies up in Western Michigan.

And he and my dad had, or he and my mom had been dating and My mom got pregnant and she was going to terminate the pregnancy, but she got drunk, told my dad about it, and he convinced her that they should get married.

And I'd love for you to just share a little bit about, you know, what, what's on deck, who is this for? Like, how can women start to get involved and recognize that this is for them?

So besides this funding, what are some of the other resources that women can access? I heard you mention coaching.

Yes, coaching and access to training too, I would say, for business fundamentals.

It's just so undervalued.

No one wants to stop really and put together a thorough plan.

But I don't know why we're hesitant to do that because the alternative, you know, the old adage, failure to plan is planning to fail.

I see this every single day.

And the most valuable thing is really taking a moment to plan all the necessary aspects, not just planning your product or planning your service or planning how you're going to find your customer.

So where do you see the biggest opportunities for women today?
