What about you, Jen?
7:34
Yeah, so my story actually in nonprofit world, specifically in community development, began in Augusta, Georgia.
7:42
So I went to school in Augusta.
7:44
And when I stayed there, I was on staff with a college ministry and a part of First Presbyterian Church in Augusta.
7:52
And we got a new pastor.
7:53
And he came in and if you're not familiar with Augusta, everybody knows the Masters, but it's a very unique city, very old city.
8:02
And where the church is located is in the downtown part of the city.

Jen, what about Impact 46 challenges?
10:59
Yeah.
10:59
Start with the easiest to drive model.
11:01
It's so simple.
11:02
It's like driving a minivan, and a lot of women have experience driving minivans 'cause we're great moms, um, uh, or daughters to aging parents, as in my case.
11:12
And, um, and so starting with a vehicle that's just easy to get into and super easy to drive, um, overcomes the worry about towing.
11:22
And then as you get more comfortable, you can move into, you can move into a rig where you tow.
11:26
But the other point that you raised, which I love the most, is a new feature, um, that we are really pushing, again, trying to get the word out there about delivery.
