Yeah, 'cause when I, when I do my assemblies or my speaking to a corporation, I usually always do it in a third person, so I'm always talking about this little boy.

So to actually share it like from this point of view, I have to kinda, like, think a little bit harder 'cause I'm so used to talking about this little boy.

Uh, so growing up in, um, in a good household in, um, the San Francisco Bay Area.

I, I was born in Chicago, outside Chicago, a small town called...

Well, it's actually a big town.

Rockford, Illinois.

And I think even just hearing someone say, "I believe in you, I see the worth in you," um, can be quite powerful.
